Re: which usa visa do i need
Which visa did you enter on? VWP? If so, have you overstayed or are you still within your 90 days?
I'm pretty sure that you won't get a B-2 in order to visit your wife as that'll have a lot of red lights going on at immigrations. You can visit her on the VWP but with all the caveats that are frequently mentioned on this forum. If you're looking at living with your wife in the US, you'll be looking at a CR-1.

An example of the UK education system.
My guess is that they are in the UK, so CR1.

The first thing that he needs to do is to be bothered by something and make a decision. Commit to living on one side of the Atlantic for a few years.
