I apologies if a similar question/situation has been posted.
I recently married my American girlfriend. We are now planning our next big step, which is for her to move to the UK with me. After doing research, it seems the obvious solution is to apply for a spouse visa. But one of the criteria was for the UK partner to be able to financially support his/her other half. Sadly, my current income could not comfortably ensure this, hence our plan was for her to find work once she had come over to the UK, so we could have a joint income- so how would this work then if they won't let her in without my financial support?
It almost seems like a vicious circle- you can't get work in the UK without a visa, but you can't get a visa without being able to financially support yourself.
Perhaps there is something I am missing here.
If someone could enlighten me, that would be awesome!
Thanks all!!!
