My husband has just been told that he would have to show 6 months bank statements before he can apply for my visa. Can anyone tell me if this is true please? Also we want to bring our maid with us from Dubai - I see under the FAQS that we would have to be there for 6 months before we can do this! Will we be able to bring her on a tourist visa? She doesn't want to be separated from us for months on end and Gosh this is all looking so bleak at the moment :-(

Ask if he can bring bank statements from Dubai that may help get the 6 months worth of documents he needs, which would speed up your RP and hopefully get your maid here sooner. The problem with getting her in on a visit visa may be her nationality. These are questions best asked at MOI

this is correct. also for the maid visa. your husband cant employ a maid until his family has their visas, as it is illegal for a single man to sponsor a maid. which effectively means, you cant employ her for 6 months. I have no idea about the visit visa for the maid, sorry. (disclaimer - some companies seem to be exempt from these rules) hth
