I believe that you must either have a job with an annual salary of 18,600 GBP or savings of 64,000 GBP. I can't offer any advice I'm afraid, but thought I'd clarify the money required.

Good luck!

Thanks for the clarification and depressing me further :(

No house to sell for the move? That might get you the savings, and then rent for 6 months while it sits in the bank.
Other than that you could go ahead of him and find a job paying the right amount and then sponsor him after 6 months.
Dh and I did something similar (but not needing a visa) I went back and worked while he sold up the house, and followed me 8 months later.

Sorry didn't mean to depress you! Just wanted to give you all the info so you could start to make some plans.

I don't know the full in's and out's of visa's for non UK citizens. But Mummy in the Foothill's suggestion seems like an option?

If you could go back and work and your hubby could work and save in the US then, it could be quicker? Not ideal I know, but an option to look at maybe?

We sold our house and took a loss on it just to get it out from under our feet. They are not selling for their worth where we are. I guess me going back is the only option.

Reading posts like this remind me of just how vile and disgraceful that law is. Good old Tories.

Yup I can't take my husband home to my own country without financial restraint yet many from other countries can walk right in. Makes me so mad!

Do what I'm doing and move elsewhere in the EU. Already looking at potential gigs lined up in Denmark :)

Trust me, when you've lived in such an alien culture for so long, anywhere in northern Europe could be home.

That is a very good idea - and also there are other benefits like much cheaper university education. You would only be a short flight from Britain and your new home would be an exciting getaway destination for British family and friends.

Just wanted to say good luck and I'm sorry you're not allowed on here.

Once again we are in harmony Zen10.... The law is clearly designed to do just one thing and that's (in the words of the government) to take immigration from 100,000's down to 10,000's.

They cannot give a **** how they do it or who it affects. I can only hope labour comes back to power in 2015 and abolish this foul law.

Oh and the reason no one has challenged it, is because those who would are still in system for immigration and probably don't want UKBA messing up their chances, probably why they lengthened the Permanent leave to remain to 5 years.

It all becomes really obvious once you think about it.

I dont understand this post?

Re: Want to move but cannot afford to move back any suggestions?
 

You cannot get a loan for this, when you apply you have to show where the money came from via your bank statements, i'm sure there are ways around this like having the money go into a friends account then into yours, but then you need to hold onto it for 6 maybe 12 months, cant remember the time and you need to have the same amount of money in 2.5 years as well, unless you in that time have a job equal or above 18600.

To be honest, considering (assuming here) you have no kids, if i was you, i'd just go back get a job (i think 18600 is pretty attainable, hope i'm not wrong), stay for 6 months. Then apply for your husband to come over.
