That's a tier 5 visa - so maximum 12 month stay, and she'd have to be sponsored by an 'A rated' charity from the list of approved sponsors. You can find that in the UKBA website. It's quite long and extensive - so weeding out the charities could be fun. Then she's got to find them, apply to them ...

Sponsors

Hi there, What does sponsoring a charity worker to come for 12 months to use their skills for a cause actually entail? Do you have to just confirm the work and that it will be with the charity or does the charity have other responsibilities such as funding & housing. I know someone who might like to ...

Two options if you don't want to go the spouse visa route: 1) She qualifies for a visa in her own right - which in practicality means a student visa or a tier 2 work visa - which requires a company to sponsor her. 2) You move to an EU country for a period of time, exercise your treaty rights (all ...

You don't need an income if you have substantial savings (62.5K max but less if earning some income) but these need to have been held by you for six months; obviously this is in case a friend simply loaned you the money to get the visa. In your case that would be 18.6 - 14.7 = 3.9(2.5) + 16 = 25 ...

To expand on Greenie's comment: An EEA family permit is only qualified for if you are someone exercising your treaty rights in another EU Country. So - for example - if you are french and living/working in the UK - you can apply for an EEA family permit for your non-EEA spouse. On the other hand ...

Also, is it possible for her to come here if we married in the US next summer and she attempted through the EEA family permit?

Thanks again.

First off, you will both need to decide on where/when you wish to marry. Then you will know if your partner will apply as a Fiance or Spouse. If your pay increases above the minimum required, all you need to ensure is that you collate the rest of the evidence needed for the application, and have ...

Need help - Fiance/Marriage/Spouse Visa

Hi there, I have been in a relationship for over a year with a girl who is a US citizen but has been doing missionary work in Spain for the last year and a half. We met a few years ago, got close and have visited each other many times in the last few years. She is planning to move here when her ...
