I met my husband in March 2006, got married in May 2006 in Jamaica. I was born in the UK. Does anyone have any experiences of the process or time length involved in the wait for a spouse's visa to bring him home?

why cant people just answer the flippin question - jesus, she didnt ask for your opinions on the matter did she.
Jesus whats going on in theis country. Are we all turning into Nazis?
Anywayz... admittedly im not an expert on this subject, but I do know that immigration from Jamaica is easier than other countries due to our old colonial ties, and the fact Jamaicas language & culture is fairly similar to ours. Id ask the home office, or even go on to black british forums and messageboards, they probably could help.
I suggest that you do not use yahoo answers for immigration questions as all the people who hate immigrants (without even knowing one single immigrant) just come on here and spout the racist propaganda to the the world.
Good luck - and hope it goes well

I think your husband will probably need to get a visa for the UK and he can apply to stay permanently after living with you in the UK for 2 years. But the wording on the UKvisas site includes this:
"If you and your husband, wife or civil partner have been living together outside the UK for four years or more, and they have been a British citizen for four years or more, there will be no time limit on how long you can stay in the UK. "
Of course, the government does move the goalposts when it suits them. But it might be that the people who said go to Jamaica were giving you good advice despite their intentions.
Best course would seem to be to check with the High Commission in Kingston anyway.
I hope you find a way through the tangle of bureaucracy and enjoy a wonderful future together.

Honey....this sounds really dodgy..met in March got married in May...2 months.......
When I went to Jamaica I was constantly asked if I wanted a baby by men I had never met before....or for my UK contact details........Immigration for Jamaicans is a bit harder due to issues regarding false claims. Get advice from the home office.
P.S Pauline - I'm not getting at you but the term "coloured" is now considered offensive. "Coloured" was used to lump all non-whites into one homogenous mass - which we are not. So today, people prefered to be called Black British, African, Black, Asian etc
Let me know what you prefered to be called and I'll use it.

odvious one for you which i imagine many will say ,stay in the caribean with him and island hop because jamaicas not the best island ,id go to barbados .because you know what the grass isnt always greener from both views but the caribean edges it by a long way and if he wants to live hear you really got to question why he married you because from exsperiance one for example :sitting at a bar with a swimmimg pool on the side in the middle of a harbour ,apartments all the way round with multi million pound boats all parked up people chilling out on them ,and im sitting at the bar the suns going down and im talking to this girl about the same age as me 25 she's in the pool leaning over the edge telling me how she's going to london "hackney" i think for 3 months visiting familly and how she'd love to get a job and live there?????????? the grass isnt always greener on both sides but if you own your own house i would sell up and live out there, and tell your husband that living in the UK aint all its cracked up to be.coming from an extremely white englishman with family in the caribean.what ever you do good luck .lol sorry just realised i havent answered your question oh well laters.

My friend married a Jamaican guy who she met over there and he admitted a year or so later [when they were divorcing] that he only married her to get into the country.. sorry
I'm Black and I know Caribbean men.. they see an opportunity and they will take it... complete charmers but always with an ulterior motive...
You may think I am putting a downer on your marriage but I can guarantee you that this guy wants British citizenship and most Immigration services know this....
Source: I also worked for a Law Centre where this sort of thing was prevalent particularly with guys from Jamaica...

i saw a lot of marriages between Caymanians and Jamaicans fell apart as soon as the Jamaican got status and left?

I think it would be easier for you to go to Jamaica and you may have a happier life there - the way immigration is in this country now Brits aren't very friendly to any foreigners just because of the sheer volume being dumped on us xx

If Jamaica nonetheless belong to the Commonwealth Union with the united kingdom, is gonna be puzzling. The Commonwealth has immigration guidelines help it electorate emigrate from one member to a distinct one.

It depends on your individual case. They will (and quite rightly so, as it happens very often), think he married you to gain entry. I wonder why you don't live in his country? I wish you had checked with other women before getting married - there are plenty out there that have done what you have.
I wish you luck though
