Have you heard about this?

Seems worrying, if you're planning to move back with a non-EU spouse/family. Although it seems to be regarding migrant visas, who's to say it won't affect the thresholds of other routes?

Re: April 2016-17 fees announced
Sorry for second post.... I've just read something by a UK Company posted on Facebook that helps people go the Surinda Singh Route and they're saying that there are other fees payable when applying for a Settlement other than application fee and NHS charge.
They claim there is a House Survey cost of £100, Medical Test of £50 and ESOL level 1 Tuition and Test (A1). Does anyone know if this is correct ?

There are many threads on this forum about Surinder Singh, and how to approach that route.

Can't believe it, I was already complaining about how expensive my MN1 application would be compared to what my family paid, and now this?

Hello everyone,
I have just joined on here. Already, I found many of these posts to be very helpful. I have a question and I hope to get some info from you guys. I am a British Citizen with non EEA spouse. She is currently in the UK on a visitor's visa (we didn't apply for a spouse visa for her we had planned to move abroad for my work but now our plans have changed). Her visitors visa expires on second week of October.
We want to apply for a spouse visa for her. I meet the financial requirements of using savings of £62500 however what I am not sure of is whether I still to have a job/job offer in the UK.
As I mentioned we would have moved abroad (i am an expat) but now our plans have changed so I don't have a job technically.
Thank you all in advance for your replies.

Your wife would need to leave the UK before her visitor visa expires and return to her home country to apply for her spouse visa. She cannot do so in the UK.

What do you do if you're both working abroad and wish to move back (UKC and USC) without a job offer? Are you effectively barred now, unless you have this obscene amount of cash savings?

When is the next fee increase announcement expected? Surely it must be very soon...

They won't give much notice. Without checking probably during the first two weeks of March.

Providing the salary is at least £18,600 pa and you have been employed for at least six months earning again at least £18,600 abroad then a job offer is sufficient providing it starts within three months.
