my asawa of almost three years wants to live here for a while & to be fare that's OK by me!
Now the tricky part is I have lived and worked abroad (Middle East) for a number of years now, I have no savings yet in a British bank, and no property in the UK. And how can I show any TAX records? I don't pay any Tax

Now I can get a rental property and put money in the bank but, as to work history I can't prove it

I arrived two weeks ago LHR And am now temporarily staying with parents till fixed up with a rental (Won't buy dito!) I have not the faintest idea how I can get my asawa dito talaga!

Just been looking at info for getting a visa for my wife on here, looks like i have no chance!!!site is a wealth of info and thanx for all the helpful advise given talaga![/U] [/CENTER]

... the fact that you've been living and working overseas - and hence not contributed to the British Government's coffers by way of paying income tax - for so long WILL, unless I'm very much mistaken, render it extremely difficult [if not well-nigh impossible] for your good lady to be granted a spousal visa at this point in time. But then, it seems you are already aware of that from the research you've undertaken.

I'm sorry to have painted such a gloomy picture, my friend. But what I've just said reflects the situation as I see it ... based on the information you've provided - in tandem with your own (obviously extensive) trawl through the relevant websites. Unfair though the 'System' might appear (and God knows, I've had occasion to "curse" it myself - still DO sometimes) we ALL have to accept it exists for reasons best-understood by our political masters.

Good luck to you and your family ... whatever you eventually decide to do!
