Re: Thinking of moving back to the UK
Wilto,
Moving to the UK and the whole visa situation is not simple.
My wife and I are in a slightly similar situation in that we both live in the US, I am a UK citizen and she is not. From my understanding my wife will need a settlement visa for the UK. We need to prove that she would not be using public funds, have adequate accomodation and have a genuine relationship.
I would definitely make it a project for yourself to find out about visa situation and also from what I understand the processing time itself can take a fair while, think several weeks.

But I don't want to apply if they enforce the rule that we are the only ones to own or occupy the property exclusively.
