[quote=GUEST36147,360534]OK, i also looked into this, i have a Chinese wife, and we recently came to england to visit family for Christmas, the tourist bit was really easy.

in regards to ur being more permanent in England, right now 2 things, first of all financial support, second of all, providing a roof over her head...

if u have a job/career, the best way to look into this is that you must show enough support, the best way is to show that you have an excess of 60.50 (soon to change to 65.50 in April, as this is the government regulations, ie if u were on benefits like JSA ur minimum expected amount to survive is this amount) this is an excess after you have paid for all your usual bills each week. for example, if ur bills al come to 600pounds a month, then u would need at least 240pounds spare each month, more is better....its only a guide line, but if u have this much spare after all bills are paid it shows excess that could be used towards a partners upkeep and bills. in many cases wife's especially are allowed to work but check first, deportation if caught is definite in cases i have heard of....

secondly, accommodation, this is a bit fuzy, but if you refer to the housing act of 1985 it says that the minimum space for 2 people ie married living together is a room of 50square feet, this must only be used by yourself and wife/partner, though i have heard it recommended that even if u have a room of this size in a shared house, it would possibly not bode well, and though theoretically big family homes may be ok, u should aim for a 1/2 bed house apartment/flat that is urs alone...

having friends in the community could help with things like jobs and information, but expect that in the Asian culture a favour means a bigger favour back in return sometimes, try your best to rely upon ur own wits in this case, it could be detrimental to ur application if they found that you as a partner were not supporting her, they my believe she is only here for work, and be deported soon after

on the other hand if like me, convincing ur doctor wife she could possibly have a better life in England might be the only problem then everything else pales by comparison, if anyone could help me with this..........

from all the people i have met, its seems that the best way if u can is to visit and marry in her country, then bring her back to England, as long as you have fullfilled the above points, and been doing them for 6 months or more you will stand a fighting chance..... good luck, to all[/quote]
