Can my Canadian family visit in UK for 6 months, then apply?

Post by pompeyboy » Fri Jul 29, 2011 2:38 am

I am a British citizen living in Canada with my wife and 4 children. I was thinking of having my wife and children apply for a settlement VISA and we all move to the UK together. I have a job waiting for me in the UK, but without Child Tax Credits, it appears my income level will be just below what is required to be approved by the UK VISA office. Could my family come with me to the UK and live for 6 months, then come back to Canada to apply for the VISAs? The reason I am thinking this route is because I could establish myself better in the UK and therefore prove I am able to support my family. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Also, does anyone know if the VISA people consider the fact that my wife can and will be working in the UK to help support the family and therefore we would have the income level needed?
