Hi everyone
I have been trawling the net for anything that might help me.

I am a british national 46 years old currently living and working in the channel islands.

I got married in the Philippines in October my wife is currently 20, so she is not permitted to apply for a spouse visa (despite being told the new rules would not apply to us)

i am planning to apply for a visitors visa for her on the grounds we want to be together and she can see what its like here then she can go back see her family again before we apply for settlement

any advise is welcome
i really dont have much confidence in the system
