British Citizen and Non-EU spouse to return to UK

Post by Gedk66 » Fri Jan 29, 2016 8:08 am

Hello,
I am British, my two children are British and my wife is Colombian. We have been living for 6 years in the middle east and now want to relocate to the UK. We want to settle back in the UK and I have a job offer and considerable savings, so this should meet the immigration requirements, but we're unsure which Visa we need to apply for.

After we married my wife had a Spouse Visa but this has long since expired. She now has a multiple entry visa which is valid until mid 2017.

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

She should apply for a spouse settlement visa (VAF4A), see Apply to join family in the UK (click)

Are your savings £62,500 or above and held for at least 6 months?

Your wife will also need English A1 level test.

If your savings are below £62,500 you could apply with income if;
You have been earning the equivalent of £18,600 p.a in your country of residence for the last 12 months
and
You have a confirmed job offer in the UK to start within 3 months of arrival, again with the minimum salary of £18,600 p.a

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
