Hi
I'm a UK citizen, currently living in California. I have a US Green Card, but have no American citizenship.
My wife is American, we were married whilst on holiday in the UK in April.
I am considering moving back to the UK, but am confused about the immigration rules for my wife.
Most of the government websites seem to be giving advice about how to bring wives into the country, if the wife is married to someone who has been granted indefinite leave to remain (i.e. not necessarily a UK citizen) and is currently resident in the UK.
I can't find any advice about what rules apply to UK citizens not currently resident in the UK bringing wives into the country.
Also, some of the rules imply that the person "sponsoring" the non UK citizen to come into the country needs already to be resident in the UK at the time of the wife's application. Do I therefore have to go back first and have her apply after I am resident again in the UK?
cheers
