We both were of the impression that she had to earn 18,000 a year and it only increases if I was bringing my own kids along. Could you please clarify?

Does she work and earn at least £27,000 a year or have that amount in savings?[/quote]

Hello Good People,

I recently got married to my wife who is a divorcee with three children. She lives in the U.K and I live in Nigeria. We met early last year while I was on a trip there. We intend to apply for a spouse visa for me to join her over there. I would like to know if the application should be done in Nigeria or she should use an immigration lawyer in the U.K to apply on our behalf. And also what are our chances and is there anything other than the usual that should be included with our application. Thank you all.
