This is urgent request for info my thai wife keeps threatening to go back to Thailand and leave me with the kids in England witch is fine with me I won't be blackmailed the thing is we have 2 English born kids a thai daughter, my wife says she wants to back but doesn't to take her thai daughter the little girl who is 12 doesn't want to go with her mum anyway the problem is they don't have a ilr visa we were due to do it in march but my wife has been here for 4 years, I know my step daughters visa is tied in with her mums so it will be a problem but if her leaves her here and we can't trace her in Thailand what will happen to my step daughter I am ham her legal guardian , my daughter is distraught because her mum doesn't want her and she can't legally stay with me...what are my options any advice as soon as you can please

my wife has been in england for 4 years on a 2 year spouce visa (renewed once). we are planning to do a ILR Visa in dec and is currently doing the british test. my question is when she passes the british test can she skip the ILR Visa and go straight for a british passport or does she have to do the ILR Visa first, We have to 2 english born children together and my wife has a daughter from a prevoius relashionship (thai) who lives with us in the uk...also when we do the british passport what are the fees and do i have to pay for my stepdaughter or are they linked? any advice would be very gratefull.



many thanks jason

Hello Guys ,
