Sponsoring my American wife
I'm an English citizen with an American wife of 9 years we are trying to get her too the uk but I don't reach the financial requirements, is there a way that myself and one of my parents can dual sponsor her or can only one person do it?

The quick answer is NO - no joint sponsors or third parties. Your parents can give you a gift of monies to make up any shortfall in the financial requirements, but it needs to be documented as a gift and you need to have it in your possession and untouched for 6 months minimum.
