My wife spouse VISA was refused and the cheeky gits asking me to pay again for appeal.

I will no doubt win the appeal but as far as i'm concerned the damage is already done as my wife will now have no choice but to give birth in phils as VISA appeals take 9 months + but she is due to give birth in 2 months time (september 2013)

I'm now planning to bring her to settle in other EU countries like Belgium, Germany or Ireland using the Surinder Singh route and working there for 3 months.

If I had known that you only need to work minimum 3 months in another member EU state to bring your wife into UK, then I would have used this method which cost nothing in VISA charge instead of lining the pocket of british government by £900 applying for Spouse VISA which nowadays seems a waste of time.

I only just found out from BBC news below that 3 months working in EU members state is enough to get your wife to UK, before that I thought you need 9 months +

I will advice anyone applying for spouse VISA to make the Surinder Singh route their number 1 priority and lets stop linning the pocket of british government with over priced spouse VISA fee of £900. You only need to work in EU member state for 3 months and it doesn't matter matter what type of job, I would even work in low paid job at starbucks or macdonalds or the odds cleaning jobs in cities like Brussels or Dublin to exercise my treaty rights so can bring my wife in UK.

Anyone know if it's possible to register my child when he/she is born in phils at british embassy as british citizen or is it more complicated than that?
