| Thanks for your advice/posts, it is much appreciated.
From researching dependant/spouse visa for a mainland Chinese wife I am getting quite confused, there are very mixed reports and I am not sure which is old/ up to date information.
It seems it is much harder (maybe impossible) to get a depandant visa for your wife if she is a mainlander.
Can anyone clarify what the situation is now?
Has anyone had this experience?
Thanks again for any advice offered |
