**FOLLOWING** Im in a similar situation , I'm an Australian married to a Scotsman,living in the uk . We've have been together for 13 years , married for 8 years and have 2 year old twin boys. We've already paid for a migration agent and have been sent ALL the paperwork which I might add is quite overwhelming!! We're trying to make a decision about on shore or off shore . We've only recently found out that on shore was an option and it's really tempting!! Snifter : could you'd you elaborate on what you meant by ' employers don't look on bridging visa fondly'? My husband is a chef with 20 years experience so hopefully there is a need out there. I do understand that some jobs require you to be a permanent resident.. Also has anyone heard or read of a price increase in the application this year?? Kind Regards xx
