Absolutely right, she will need to go back to the USA and apply there for her spouse visa.I have read that she will have to leave and apply for a spousal visa in the USA and return on that before she can settle here. Is that correct?
Where is the child now? Also visiting the UK? He also needs to go back to the USA and when your wife applies for spouse visa, an application will need to be made for a Child Settlement visa for him. So visa application costs double what they would have been.The child is from my wifes previous marriage, he's 11 years old.
Is your Dad still living in the place? If yes, did he actually seek any tax advice before putting the place into joint names? If he is still living there it is likely that he has saved ..... nothing! Ownership of part of the house does not assist you with getting the visa, apart from showing that you have a right to live there.My dads house is split 3 ways on the deeds, he put myself and my brother on around 4 years ago to try and guard against us eventually having to pay inheritence tax. Would that help in any way?
She says Texas doesnt do sole custody, it only does majority/minority custody and she has 'majority'. It's written into the divorce settlement that only she can get him a passport and she can decide where he lives. She was able to get him a passport without her ex husbands consent. She had to send a copy of the divorce decree with the application.John wrote:Does your wife have Sole Responsibility for her child? If the biological father of her child is still alive, what documentation does she have that shows she has Sole Responsibility?
I havnt informed them yet but i have kept records of all work I've done.Your Self-employment? If HMRC aware about it? So in the month since you have been back, you have earned about £400?
None.What amount of savings do you and your wife have?
I need to be able to show this when I apply for the Visa? So i have about six months build my business up.How much earnings for visa purposes? At least the income support level, so for a couple plus one child, about £170 per week minimum.
We told them we were married at the gate and that we were staying 3 months. We did get asked more questions than other people going through but they didnt seem overly concerned. I guess we were lucky, I dont know what we'd have done if they sent her back.nellis83 wrote:Chris,
Count yourself lucky that your wife was allowed in on a tourist visa. If the immigration officer had twigged that she was married to a British citizen and didn't have the correct visa, she'd have likely been refused entry.
Exactly the same thing happened to my wife in 2007. We married in Canada, and naively thought she could come to the UK for our honeymoon in Scotland. Refused entry, sent home 3 days later. We were gutted!
