Default Spouse visa and travelling to the UK

Hey everyone,

Something that has recently crossed my mind with regards to travelling to the UK with my wife once the visa has been granted. I'm a UK national.

When we arrive to Heathrow - which queue would we go to? I know I can go to the EU queue, but would she be able to stay with me, or would I have to go to the Non-EU queue with her?

I remember reading that UK Border Force have a policy to not separate families during passport control - but does that allow us to go to the EU queue?

Thanks!

I don't know the answer to your question, but my Brit husband and I (Australian) travel in and out the UK quite often - he joins the EU queue and I use the non-EU one.

You can join your partner in the Non EU queue.

My husband & I go through the Non-EU line together. & literally run off the plane to try and avoid the huge queues.

My wife (non-EEA on visit visa) and I traveled to London last year with British kids. We have been told by the officer that we can join EU queue.
