The questions: - Are there any routes available to us which would achieve this aim, EEA or otherwise? Nothing has changed from when you were asking in January, when you were still in Malta. https://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/eea-family-permit-for-dependents-t296343.html#p18720...

Forgot to ask, would there be any benefits in us going back to Malta to get permanent residence there?

Our situation: - UK citizen (me) and Cambodian spouse living in UK after returning to UK under Surinder Singh. - Awaiting Pre-Settled Status for 6 months. - Lived in Malta 4 years before returning. The intention: - Spouse has a 16-year old brother and we would like him to join us in UK. - We have be...

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the help. Looks like a no-go for now though.

Hi all. Here's my situation: - British citizen married to Cambodian citizen - Been living in Malta 4 years - Applying for EEA Family Permit for my wife under Surinder Singh I noticed that there seem to be some provisions for dependent family members that we may be able to take advantage of. Situatio...

Good news! Since my last post my wife and I (married two weeks ago in Cambodia, beautiful day; check out this photo if you're interested - http://imgur.com/CAaiCFe ) have made great strides forward and are now nearly in a position to apply for a Spouse Visa. Marriage certificate is pending but we sh...

Hi, I'm Alex (24) and my fiancée is called Bee (26). We met 18 months ago in Cambodia while I was travelling, she's just spent 6 months here in the UK on a tourist visa and returned to Cambodia on 3 May 2015. We are getting married this year (probably October) and want to settle in the UK. We initia...

Quick follow-up question: will it hurt our chances if my job contract is temporary? Assuming the annual salary is above £18,600 of course.

It's 12 months now? Wow, that window is closing fast. Moving centre of life and getting married are both fine, but I'd be gutted if I lived abroad for a year to then find the route was unavailable to us. Thanks again for all the advice, much appreciated

Mine will just be a standard salary with the kind of work I'm looking for, but thank you for the clarification. We have two months more in the UK together and I'm job-hunting as hard as I can. Going back to living 6000 miles apart for 6 months is a pretty bleak prospect though, so do you think SS'in...

Fantastic, thanks so much for the clear response. Just one follow-up question: is the 6 months of payslips a requirement or a recommendation? Obviously I want to make it solid if I'm spending nearly £1000 on applying, but if there's any flexibility I can exploit it's worth knowing about at least.

Hi, I'm Alex (24) and my fiancée is called Bee (25). We met 15 months ago in Cambodia while I was travelling, she's here in the UK on a tourist visa at the moment and to cut a long story short are now trying to settle in the UK. We think we've got a plan figured out, and were just hoping you kind fo...
