The partner visa sounds the best option. It’s not cheap but it will allow you to work so you can earn the money that you paid out for the visa. It will also cover you for all those trips you make in the future (although at some point you’ll need RRV) best to contact Paul above for a consultation.

Although it’s usually the moaning that makes them happier. It’s a popular hobby for many, most don’t even realise they are doing it.

Singapore is high up on my bucket list.

HP is lovely

I feel the same way.

She has admitted that she did just that.

She was also great in an old film called Dead Calm.

Especially when there’s savings accounts with far higher interest rates.

Just wait until you get out there. Easy enough to use your UK one in those early weeks.

Wine and cake…..it doesn’t get much better than that.

It’s very unlikely though and there’s always a risk of getting sick on any holiday. The cruise liners always have doctors onboard so help is at hand.

I’m doing my first one in May, I can’t wait. Go for it, why not. I figured the worst that can happen is you get home and say I’m glad I tried it but it’s really not for me. What is most likely to happen is you will love it (everyone seems to)

I know of two people who had a serious reaction to the vaccine. First one is a dear friend who I’ve known since my teens. Within days of having her first vaccine she was in pain which continued to worsen. Her joints were really sore and within weeks there were days that she couldn’t even get out of bed. It was like she’d developed severe arthritis everywhere almost overnight. In the few years that have followed she has had endless hospital appointments with many different specialists. They’ve discovered her nervous system is damaged among other things. She has always been sure beyond doubt it was the vaccine that caused it and her doctor has backed her on that. At first I was sceptical although I’d trust what my friend says completely: Over the last few years I’ve read of many ‘arthritis’ type injuries (although confirmed not actually arthritis) and nerve damage issues reported after the vaccine. She manages quite well these days on a pile of pills and injections but still has terrible days in pain and unable to function. The other case I know of was a 51 year old man who had the vaccine and died of a blood clot just days later. I didn’t know this man myself but his family was good friends with a friend of mine. I think the chances of having problems following the vaccines were exceptionally small when you consider how many people had them. But I think we have to accept that those problems are real and do exist. Every vaccine carries a very tiny risk but the covid vaccines seemed to have a higher risk than other vaccines albeit still tiny.

I never said she was being selfish. I mentioned putting her needs before others but that doesn’t equate to being selfish. Sometimes we have to put our needs before others. People who emigrate often do that. Their parents and extended families will likely be devastated they are moving away, even if they are happy for them. We see those scenarios mentioned on here all the time. To suggest the wording I used is the same as selfish would make a huge amount of people on here selfish. They are not selfish to move, they have every right to do that even if they think they are putting their needs before others. Had the poster said my wife and I are keen to move but the kids have the hump my comments would have been different. The poster sounds quite stressed about the idea. There is nothing wrong with him knowing/being reassured that his feelings (and his kids) are real and should be taken into consideration.

Some really good comments on here. Your wife did chose to marry and raise a family in the UK. Now she wants to uproot everyone because she wants to move. I get it, she has a desire to return home. But it’s not all about her now, she has a husband and children to consider. If she knows the rest of her family don’t want to move yet she is still pushing for it then she is clearly putting her needs before everyone else’s. You have much to consider but don’t go and drag your kids there if it’s not for you. It could be life changing for them and not in a good way. If you really want to go too then go. In the end kids have to go where the parents take them. From what you are saying though it sounds like the whole family has to go somewhere they don’t want to just to please your wife. That’s not good.
