The wheels are in motion now to move back myself (British) from the US to the UK and bringing my wife (U.S citizen).

I dont have £60k so my clear understanding is:

- Have been earning £18.6k for the last 6 months (Tick, been in $40k job for 4 years).
- Have a job earning over £18.6k waiting for me when I arrive (tick, I will be joining the old recruitment agency i worked for).

Questions:

- What is the exact proof the recruitment agency will have to provide for me to pass on for immigration?
- do you have to provide proof of residence?

What am I missing?

Thanks

- Job offer letter confirming start date and salary

- Evidence of your immigration status in the US and evidence of how you will meet the accommodation requirement in the UK.

Stribs

I couldnt see any list of required accommodation proof.

Please direct me to this information so I can make sure we meet that requirement.

Thanks
Andy

Thanks for all the info.
Government wording is truly horrendous to follow... can we get a letter from my Mum saying she will let us stay. They own the house?

Where is the step by step easy to read guide on this. Surely this cant be more difficult than getting citizenship in the US! (Took 5 years, just complete)

BritInParis

No easy to read guide I’m afraid. Got to keep the immigration solicitors in business somehow

If you are planning to stay with your parents, then a signed-in-ink letter accompanied by photo ID (preferably a passport) stating you can stay as long as necessary in your own bedroom together with proof of ownership (title deeds, mortgage statement) will suffice.

Passport of my parents?
Proof of ownership from my parents that they own the house?


So.. understanding so far..

GENERAL

- PROOF OF IMMIGRATION IN U.S (CITIZENSHIP)

WORK

- PROOF THAT I HAVE BEEN EARNING 18.6K FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS
- LETTER FROM EMPLOYEE THAT I HAVE A JOB
- CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT

ACCOMMODATION

- LETTER FROM MY PARENTS
- PROOF OF OWNERSHIP OF THE HOUSE

BritInParis

- HMG doesn’t care about your immigration status in the US, just your wife’s.

- Six months of payslips and matching bank statements from your current job as a minimum. A letter from your current employer confirming start date, job title and salary is also a good idea.

- Job offer letter from UK employer confirming start date, job title and salary and/or signed contract of employment.

- Letter from parents confirming you can both stay with them accompanied by proof of ownership and identity.
