Spouse Visa Age Requirement (confused)

Hello there, I am currently on PBS which expires in March 2010. I am 24 years old and currently working for Hackney Council. I want to bring my wife here from Pakistan. She is 20 at the moment. I have heard that the age requirement has been raised to 21, however, I have read this on this forum today;

The minimum age of 18 will continue to apply to sponsors and their partners in those cases where the stay of a sponsor is subject to a time-limit (for example, students, work permit holders).

Here is the link

Can my wife still apply for Visa?

Can someone help me on this please

Many Thanks [/u]

If you are on PBS, then yes she can apply as the minimum age for that is still 18.

Its only over 21 for those that are settled here permanantly, of which you are not as yet anyway
