Where is the link to this information? ... I am not sure this can be used for UK spousal settlement visa as yet as I think it has to go through some forms of formal admittance to the UKBA immigration rules and regulations.

Or what do guys think?

Many thanks Lucapooka for your response.

Can she be invited to the UK then and then go back to reapply or can she come into the UK via visitor's Visa first and later apply for spousal visa?
