Other options to spouse/fiancé visa

[ZD]

Hi all.

I've just been informed by my solicitor that my decree absolute may take a little longer than expected; in fact 6 months longer. My plan was to get my wife to apply for a spouse visa once I received my decree absolute however the wait seems longer.

My question is whether my wife [lives in Pakistan and married through religious ceremony and is expecting our first child] to the UK on any other basis other than spouse or fiancé? . My immigration status is that I was born in the UK.

Sorry, I feel dejected after receiving the news this morning! Any advice is most appreciated. Should I just wait till I recieve my Decree absolute? Time is against me because of the baby.
Thanks

All the best bro. i am from india and sailing in the same boat. and i do not know if my indian islamic talaq is valid for visa purposes.

on 2nd thought, i guess islamic talaq with proper council notification in pakistan is valid for pakistan & bangladesh. so why should getting spouse visa be a problem?
