Planning visit back home, visa for Colombian wife
Hi all, hoping someone here might be able to give some guidance.
We're living in NC and have been for 2 years now, we're planning a trip back home next year and because my wife is Colombian and requires a visa. Looking at the UK FCO website they seem to want a lot of information, bank statements, letters of invites etc.
She's had a temp visa to live in the UK before and is married to a UK citizen, so does it need to be this complicated?
Has anyone had some similar experience in the past?
Thanks a lot,
Rich

In general, I'd say she needs to follow whatever the instructions are for getting a visitor visa to the UK. Having a UKC husband doesn't help her, and neither does having had a prior visa to the UK. This is a new application.

You might want to ask over at www.uk-yankee.com. They have a discussion forum similar to this one, but for people wanting to visit the UK. This forum is specific to entering and living in the USA.
