settlement visa query

Post by corbett1 » Mon Nov 03, 2008 11:10 pm

I have got my ILR and due to some personal circumstances i will have to get married soon and i want my wife to join me here. I am a student at an university studying mechanical engineering and currenlty doing a paid workplacement and next year(sept 2009) i go back to uni to complete my final year.

I have enough money to cover our expenses for altleast 1.5 years and can look out for accomodation.

I wanted to know what documents(from my side) i will require so that my wife can apply for a Settlement Visa (after getting married ofcourse). i am concerned mostly about the documents pertaining to work.AND does the law allow my wife to work when she comes here to be with me....

i have tried to find info on BIA, but i can't find something specfic to my case. Can anyone direct me to the relevant UK legislations or advise on this matter.

P.S: my wife to be is a not a EU national,
