Hello All,

My wife and daughter are waiting for their UK settlement visa. I am the sponsor and we are all currently living together in Canada and planning to move to UK. We've been waiting for over 2 months and no news. Given that I have to start my new job in UK soon, is it ok if I fly to UK first and once my wife receives her visa, she follows me? Or do we have to enter the UK together?

Thanks

Your wife can either accompany you to or join you in the UK. What she cannot do however is move to the UK ahead of you.

Thanks BritinParis! Same case here. My sponsor is now working in the U.K., how can I show the customs that my husband is already in there?

Thank you in advance!

It's immigration rather than customs you need to worry about. You shouldn't have any problems. Normally you'll be taken at your word if your husband is already in the UK and presumably will be meeting you at the airport. If not then just keep his mobile phone number handy so that the Immigration Officer can call him if necessary to confirm his whereabouts.

I see! Thank you so much for your reply!
Have a lovely day!
