I am a UK citizen. My (new) wife is from the USA. We don't want to pay in excess of $4,000 to apply for a spousal visa to get her into the UK when there is no guarantee that the application will be successful. I know that if she is visiting a Shengen country she can stay a maximum of 90 days in every 180 day period. As we are married does she have the same rights as I do with regard to staying long term in Europe? If not, what's the best way for her to stay longer than 90 days? We hope to tour Spain for five months from November this year and then return to the UK for the six months maximum stay that she is currently allowed. We can't do it until we resolve this issue.
