I haven't posted on here for well over a year now, but reguarly pop in to read posts, and am now back for some advice again please! I met a Russian girl on holiday in Cyprus (her parents live there now half a year or so) and we've been in touch ever since. I visited her home of Niznhy Novgorod, which was fascinating, and we've since met again in Prague, and Cyprus again, where i stayed with her parents. After 2 and a half years, we now know we really want to be together, and are prepared to give it a go! It will probably be easier to do so in the UK for starters, as I'll earn more money here and language isn't a barrier so much. Question is, is it easier/better to get married abroad then get her a visa to follow me? or get a Spouse visa, then marry here within the 6 months? Does anyone have experience of this at all, or able to give any advice. It will probably take til the summer next year to save money for everything. But I know there is alot of planning to do before then! Thanks in advance for any help.

You can get all the information you need for that type of visa from the home office and I am quite sure they can issue the visa.

Am I right in thinking, that even if we married within 2 months of her arrival, she still wouldn't be able to work here for 6 months from her original entry to the UK? Just trying to think what stuff she might be able to do for 6 months, as she's not the type of girl to sit around doing nothing all day. She's a trainee lawyer back in Russia, is there anyway this can be applied for a job in England at all does anyone know? Again, thanks for any help... cheers.
