Visa Help

[jim1563]

I will be applying for a settlement visa for my wife at the end of november we met last December and have been living together in Chiang Rai since then,I have all paper work and bank statements etc but have not been in England since November 04 is this going to be a problem? I am also self-employed in England but havent worked much over the last 3 years travelling etc!

Been married for 3 months now.

Any help regards Jim...........

Providing that you can satisfy the visa officer that you can support yourself and your wife without claiming benefits, then there shouldn't be a problem. The fact that you've not been in the UK since November 04 won't adversely effect your wife's chances of getting the visa.

You can write a covering letter to accompany the application, in which you address this issue. Explain what you will be doing employment-wise, and also provide any evidence of savings which you can use to support yopurselves until such a time as your business is up and running. That you haven't worked for a year is neither here nor there. The visa officer is solely interested in what you will be doing once you return.
