Thanks marco. Your right there is some great advice on here. I know what documents to submit. I was thinking under the lines like. Did you go with your wife to submit the application? As you know we work and we are not able to get time off just like that. I was thinking of posting the documents and letting her submit the visa application then when hopefully if it is approved arranging a flight so that I can travel back with them to the uk. What do you think is the best plan? Thanks.
