Thanks Jumbo

I wanted a second opinion which you have kindly provided.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply

for Question number 2. I have learned that one of the conditions required for application is that applicant intend to live in the UK and make UK their home.

would this point create a problem if UAE resident permit is stamped on her passport?

Thanks,
