Hi all,
I have now moved back to the U.K. as I am looking for work to support my wife and young daughter, it was very hard to leave my home in Istanbul but with another member of our family to support working full-time is a neccessity even more now.
My wife Nesrin will retire in just a few days so I am expecting her to join me with little Melissa at the end of Sept start of Oct. We will attempt to rent our apartment in Istanbul which will give us a valuable income and then we always have the option to keep it should we return later in our lifes.
I would really appreciate any advice for my wife as I am still unsure which route to go down, here is the present situation, she has a visitor´s visa which expires in Jan 2011, I am currently desperate to find work here in England but we will have a secure address at my parents.
Would we best to apply now before her current visa runs out for a another visa or apply for an extension of stay in the U.K. as a partner or wife/husband of a U.K. national, which basically is the same as a settlement visa application.
We know need to get things moving so we are looking upon experienced people who have gone down the same route as we are going for advice and guidance. Anybody with any suggestions or advice please reply
Thanks
Rich & Nesrin
Have a look at Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the immigration system too, this might apply also.
Wishing you all the best and it is nice to hear how you are.
