My husband is a British national. This makes my visa situation quite simple. I don't have to worry about applying for a work visa and getting sponsored by an employer or anything like that. I can get a spouses visa for just over a thousand dollars. I can work with that visa. Why do visas cost so much? What are you paying for exactly? I haven't figured that out. Of course, the visa I need is the most expensive one.
My husband was married before and has a son. He will be going to London with us. We were wondering if we needed to get a British passport for him. We started our online search and ran into a snag. On the website for the British Consulate there is no information about what we should do in this situation. I've searched on the web and can't find any concrete information. All of the phone numbers listed for the consulates have written next to them "for emergency use only". The email address listed says that all inquiries about passports will be disregarded because you can find the answer to your question on the website. Well, I've thoroughly searched the website and can't find the answer to my question. I emailed my question to them about a month ago and I assume it was disregarded because I haven't heard anything back.
My husband has also let his son's old American passport expire. We have to get him a new one but in order to get it we need to get notarized form from his mother giving permission for him to have a passport. There is no standard form for this on the website so we were going to make something up until my husband came across some information that said we didn' t need permission if the child was fourteen or older. He turns fourteen at the end of the month so we'll wait until then.
We've decided against getting the British passport. We'll wait until we get there and see what happens. Hopefully, things will work out for the best.
