10 year route is 10 years legal stay. My suggestion is to not run the visa gauntlet with HRA apps and hoping for this and hanging on for that, it's years of worry and uncertainty. Best way is for you to fulfill the requirements of the visa somehow, work three jobs, use savings, do it somehow. Manuf...
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I've looked at that before, but it says: "You can apply to extend or switch in any of these routes if you’re eligible, except if you have permission to be in the UK: as a visitor for less than 6 months – unless you got your visa to get married or become civi...

Hi, I am British and my wife is Chinese. She is currently visiting me in UK on a family visit visa. We were planning on traveling to Ireland with the possibility of moving there to live and exercising my treaty rights, so tried to apply for an entry visa under Directive 2004/38/EC.

Thanks, the only problem I can see with that method is you need to be in UK on a visa other than a visit visa. I don't think my wife would be able to qualify for a study visa or a work visa... are there any other types of visa which are not visit visas which she might be eligible for? Failing that i...
I'm a British citizen, my wife is non_EU, we have a 2 year old son who is British. We are currently in UK, my wife is here on a family visit visa (as my salary isn't enough to sponsor for a settlement visa). While looking through the UKBA website I found this... http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/pol...

Thanks for your help, it's saved me the application fees for a failed attempt.
I'm a British citizen currently living in China with a Chinese wife, and son who is a British Citizen.
