Hi ALL.

I have been away for a while doing the new husband thingy and setting up family life for my wife here in Guernsey.

I have a question regarding the best way to go about a visa.

I now have a baby girl on the way and my wife is 22 weeks gone.

Our idea would be to get my wife's mum over to help with the new baby for several months or as long as possible.

My questions is...What is the best visa to ask my wife's mum to apply for...The Family Visit visa?(which is for 6 months and could be extended for 6 further months if need be)

Or the Tourist visa? which is only valid for 6 months.

Of course my wife is still on her 1st 2yr visa and not currently settled and after looking on the Gov website it is a bit vague.Although it says this visa is for visiting family etc etc it does say that your family member(which would be my wife-her daughter)must be a British citizen or settled in the Uk.Is any one clued up on this please?

Cheers in advance.


Robert
