Tier 2 married to a British citizen

[Dirk]

The new family visa rules are going to preclude that route to us, my fiance and I are due to get married in August in Hong Kong. She is a nurse and has been offered a job in the NHS which will be sponsored, the question she has though is if she is married to a British national and has a dependent child who is also a British citizen will they tell her she is applying for the wrong visa?

I guess this is a new question, in the past the marriage visa route was always the most desirable but today it has to the same length to citizenship and the fact the spouse's skills/savings are not taken into account means its possible to get a Tier 2 visa even if your ineligible for a marriage visa.
