dependant visa help - age

Post by mahesh123456 » Sat Jan 09, 2010 7:22 am

Myself and my partner have been married recently in my homeland and now want to apply to live in the uk.
However we have accounted a small problem regarding this.
I am over 21 however my wife - the british citizen isn't.
Is there options regarding this? maybe a different kind of visa that may be accepted because of the relationship??
Or if the parents of both parties provide full consent would that help?
Or because of the age 18-20 is the relationship almost banned from happening in the uk.

any help would be much appreciated

Arranged marriage?

And no, you have to wait until she's 21.

To be honest we're not sure which visa to apply for.
It's isn't an arranged marriage. I was in the uk for 4 years we met there and had a relationship. After i returned to my homeland, she followed and we married.

We were talking to immigration regarding a dependant visa. He mentioned the age of consent was 18.

We're just so confused

for the dependent visa of Tier 1 the spouse age limit is 18,

but the age limit for the spouse of british citizen is 21.

So this means because she is british i can't apply as a dependant?
