Thanks, greenie for commenting. What are her options if she goes back to her home country to apply, so that she can get a 5 year spouse visa.

We are worried about her overstaying and the new rules. Do you think it will pose a problem for her.

Thanks casa, but am sure meeting the new financial regulation will not be a problem. The only problem we envisage and require someone to throw some light on is the rules relating to overstayers in UK.

will it affect the spouse of a settled person.

Thanks for your comments so far. KAYBErnsl, pls can you let me know how long ago this was. And the information is for my sister in law.

I know there are new laws regarding overstayers now and it could affect spouse visas.

You can give it a miss if you please. I had earlier on pointed out my reasons for the response. I am sure there might be some people out there who might have something positive to contribute.

Thanks casa, for your response. What if she decides to go to her home country to apply for spouse visa from their will that be a better and more realistic option.

Hi could you elaborate further. What do you mean by that the new rules are tougher for overstayers. Her husband and kids are all British.
Is it difficult for her to do it here or going back to her home country, which one are you referring to.

Does it really matter which country, I did not know that there are different rules for different countries.
Anyway thanks for reading.

Hi, please can anyone let me know if my sister who is married to a settled person can pay home fees.

SHe joined her husband in the uk about 6 months ago and is applying for a masters degree course. They are not sure if she can pay the home fees or international fees.
