Returned to the UK, got appaling treatment from Gatwick Immigration staff, wrote letters to the Home Office regarding Visa application - no luck. Everyone who writes/answers the H.O. phone says she has to go home to apply...WHERE'S MY RIGHTS AS BRITISH NATIONAL TO BRING MY WIFE HOME WITH ME WITHOUT HINDERENCE???????????????????????? The cost of travelling back to Brazil & applying etc...it's too much!!!!!!!!!

I think in reality its an assult on basic human rights the way non EU visa national family treated when they wish to travel particulary by the UK
