Financial Requirement Question
My husband and I are considering moving back to the UK. He has been earning over 18,600 pounds since June 2014 and would be intending to keep that job until at least January 2016.
When he gets back to the UK he plans on taking up a post at his old job or with his dad, both positions pay over the required minimum.
My question is, does he have to earn an 18,600 pound salary for 6 months after arriving before I can join him or will the salary he is currently earning in the US plus a letter of employment stating he will be earning over the required amount suffice?
Thanks!

a) he has been earning over £18,600 in his current job for at least six months and;
b) he has a job offer in the UK with a gross annual salary over £18,600 starting within three months of your proposed return date;
then a confirmed job offer will suffice.
See Chapter 5.2 of Appendix FM Section 1.7 for more information.
