Visa question
Hello,
I'm British, my wife is American, both living in the US, but we're planning to move to the UK as I have guaranteed work for three years, but then might move back to the US after three years (my wife has no plans or desire to become a UK citizen). What kind of visa will my wife require? Is it a VAF4A visa? Any idea how long this application process currently takes?
Any pointers or advice would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Re: Visa question
Unless your wife can obtain her own work/student/investment visa or she has some British ancestry, you would sponsor her for a spouse visa (family visa)

There are financial requirements to fulfill:

Currently taking between 3 to 6 months standard, less if paying for priority.
