Hi everyone,
I'm Maddi (British) and my husband is Justin (American) and we have a little boy (17 mos) together. We live in the USA but due to circumstances, we want to go to the UK.
Now, we are having a real hard time finding even an attorney/solicitor who will speak to us as we really don't have the money for one..
Question:
---How maybe people here actually used a solicitor in their spouse's application?----
I would feel better hiring one but adding the cost of flights, of the visa + NHS fee and postal services for documents etc and it's easily in the thousands... money we don't really have![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)
There is just so much to think about....
Thanks in advance!! <3

Is your little one a dual citizen (US & UK)?

You, the British citizen would need to sponsor your American husband.
