Thanks, I'm mostly worried about screwing up her education. She's not great at school and hates it. She wants to be a nurse and I am wondering if it would be easier for her in the UK. Her dad is a very good dad and we are on very good terms, however that's a hurdle I would have to overcome, and may not be possible. He has indicated that he may be open to moving back himself.
I actually didn't even consider my partners visa. I would be the main earner, he would work part time if possible and take care of the children. Would that be an issue for a visa? His family moved over from the UK on the second fleet or something like that so I think ancestry would be an issue.
