Help/Advise on Spouses Visa renewal plz.

[andywhitwham]

Hi All,
I am an English guy, married to an American lady, and we live in the UK, in Scotland. We got married in the USA in August 2007. My wife obtained the required 2 year spouse's visa, we had to go to Chicago to obtain it, but no problems as we took a LOT of evidence etc.

She also has a UK National Insurance number , and has a full-time job, I have my own business.

Now the question we are seeking help for is this ; My wife's spouse's visa runs out in Augist this year, as it will be 2 years old. We aren't sure what to do with regards to renewing it.

If anyone has been in the same boat as we are, any advice would be helpful.

Many thanks ~~ andy ~~

She needs to apply for ILR (ie permanent residence) on Form SET(M) from the UKBA website.

It costs £750 or £950 for the same day service.
