Just got my spouse/settlement visa approved!!...

Hi Dedworth, thanks for your opinion appreciate it....hubby & I thought the same but still not sure the real explanation behind it....

I assume she's got a British Passport. By the way when you pitch up at the airport don't you waste time and queue seperately at the non brit/non EU channel at passport control. Just all go through together at the UK one. I was told this by an official a couple of years ago applies to spouses with leave to remain whether travelling singly or with partner. Might save you a bit of time.

Yepp shes got a British passport!...Thanks for this tip Dedworth, will take note of it...I didn't know this before, in fact, it always took us ages to get through to the passport control during my previous visits, now I know...THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!....

Just to add to dedworth's note, when my wife traveled to the UK last year with our son. (son is british passport holder) she went straight to the UK / EU line, and didn't have any problems (and she as only on a visitors visa), infact this was the easiest she has ever passed through Heathrow.
