I am a British man that is returning to study in the UK from Sept 2013 - July 2014 after living in Thailand for many years. With the new visa rules it seems it will be difficult to apply for a spouse visa so I want my pregnant Filipino wife to join me from Dec 2013 - May 2014 on a 6 month medical visa and then return to Thailand.She is due to give birth in mid Feb and we want that to happen in a hospital(presumably it would have to be private) in the UK.

Will she be granted a visa to do this? Would she be allowed to stay for the whole 6 months? Are we following the best solution to our problem or is there another option?

Thanks for any advice you can give
