Family Sponsor?

Good Afternoon. My name is Christian. I am originality from England, I moved to the USA to start my life with my lovely wife 3 years ago. We have decided after having a baby (9 months old)that we would like to move back to the UK.

I'm so glad I have found this forum. You are all very helpful. I have a couple of questions.
I have been studying for the past year and would like to continue my education. I'm wondering if we can have a family members (my parents) sponsor my wife to help our family move back to the UK. Is this possible?

I understand we need to have earned the 18600 or a job offer with this amount. But could we both go and be full time students ?

any advice would be great. thank you in advance.

Third party sponsorship (your parents) is not allowed for UK family visas. You (as the sponsor) would have to prove earnings or you would have to prove joint savings...

If you both wanted to be full time students, unless you had savings of more than £62,500, your wife would have to qualify for a Tier 4 visa.

Thank you.

Unfortunately the UK is very anti-immigration at the moment.  It's ALL about money.  If you don't have it, it's impossible to move back.

It is not possible for your family to sponsor your wife as such but if they gave you the amount required to meet the savings requirement, you could apply after having had the funds in your possession for 6 months.
It is important to note that this must be a gift of money and not a loan. The amount required if you have no other eligible income is 62,500gbp.

You might find you have to pay international rates for yourself instead of the home rates fee. This will be up to the university.
