Do you have an ancestral visa in your own right? If you do then there is no problem.
If your wife has an ancestral visa, and you are travelling as her dependent, then you CANNOT enter the country without her. Don't even try it.
I was advised by an immigration specialist to avoid Heathrow and rather ravel through Ireland and then on to the Uk to a point of entry as they might not be so strict.
What kind of "specialist" is that? He is talking complete nonsense.
Unfortunately I assumed that there would be border control between Ireland and the Uk.
Your "specialist" should have known that.
Also recently my wife's doctor advised against her flying as she is pregnant and the medication they give her will adversely effect her kidney's for which she had treatment.
That's why your place should be with her, not in England. And if you are travelling on
her ancestral visa then you can't legally travel to England without her in any event, as we keep trying to explain to you.
I do have a work contract signed already and have to start work asap.
You can't - it's as simple as that.
I prefer to hear from people that can offer positive advise or alternatives.
The only option you have is to get a work permit in your own right, or wait until your wife is able to travel. There are no other options available to you. End of story.
