Inter company transfer & Spouse Visa
Hello,
I have been offered a position back at my old firm in London. This would be an intercompany transfer from my current location in Queensland. I will be effectively continuing my length of service, simply changing locations internationally.
As I understand it, to apply for a Spouse Visa, I need to have 6 months employment with my employer in the UK. Because of my continued length of service does this mean I can apply before I leave Australia and my wife can join me from the start?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Inter company transfer & Spouse Visa
WE have had a couple of posters who have been continuing their jobs when returning to the UK.
If you have been with your current employer for more than 6 months you can use Category A: With current employer for 6 months or more – overseas sponsor returning to the UK
Read the following document Section 5.2

You can apply immediately and when visa issued travel back to UK together.
