I don't mean any offense, but I'd be lying if I said I wanted to come here. It was the quickest visa we were eligible for. That's the only reason we didn't choose another country.
For anyone interested in the numbers, it's about £7,100 for the initial spouse visa. It's good for two and a half years. It will be another £7,100 for the next two and a half years (if we stay). After that we can apply for Indefinite leave to remain, and citizenship. Another £2,300 and that's with us doing all the work. If you need a lawyer it's going to be a lot more money.
Our friends and family all thought I could just move here because I'm married to a Brit....nah, mate.
