Hello, my name is Debra from western Massachusetts, and I am married to a UK citizen who is here on a green card. We married in July of 2014, and all went well with her staying here visa wise in the US. We are now planning to both move to the UK, actually Devon, where her family is, this fall 2016.
We are at the beginning stages of figuring out what to do visa wise. we qualify monetarily for her sponsoring me without job info, as we both sold homes in the past few years. my question is, what visa form do we use and when? as in, we'll both be filing from here in the US. I've been all over the UK gov website and can't seem to figure out what visa form to hone in on when a couple lives in the US now. also, any ideas on when we start applying?
We used a company called Rapid Visa here in the USA and they were very reasonable money wise, and very helpful, about 450 dollars. They helped us to be sure all paperwork was ready and did a great job. Do we need the same in the UK? my thinking is not....and I dont seem to see inexpensive visa helping companies like that on the web in the UK in my searches.
any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you so much!
