Hi
This seems like it should be a really simple question for the home office websites to answer, but I've tried and tried and can't see the answer.
My wife is a US citizen. I'm a UK Citizen. I'm now settled back here in the UK. She is still in the US. To allow her to settle in the UK, can she enter the UK on her US passport, and apply for her settlement visa when she is here in the UK? Or does she have to apply for her settlement visa when she is still in the USA?
This Home Office website kind of implies that it is possible (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/partn ... /partners/)
"If your application as a husband, wife, civil partner or unmarried/same-sex partner is successful, we will grant you permission to come and live here for 27 months, or to remain here for another 2 years if you are already in the UK when you apply. "
But I don't see the process outlined anywhere about how one applies for a settlement visa for the UK from within the UK.
Any help gratefully received.
cheers
Tom.
