Ah yeah that sounds familiar. It's a bit of a catch-22 - I want to use my savings as a deposit to buy a house to eventually relocate to in the UK, but if I do that then I won't meet the savings threshold and won't be able to move my family until I secure a job. And if I keep my savings, I won't have a house for my family to live in when we move back, so I'll have to rent something.

Nothing to stop you from doing that once you’ve received the visa.

I think it's more getting the cash to get the visa in the first place that is the problem.

The new visa laws were drafted primarily to address the issue of chain migrations from undesirable countries (read: Pakistan) because we couldn't put in a blanket ban on spousal / family visas for Pakistanis while allowing native Brits to bring in their American or other nationality spouses for practically nothing, as was the case in the old days. |

I wasn't referring to that poster in particular, but in more general terms to the populace as a whole. And I do think the amounts are unfair.

Apologies, kids are British, which makes it a bargain at only £62,500.

Not that straightforward though is it, especially if you're a British woman.

Last time around my wife still had a valid tourist visa so we had to fly to UK, find a house to rent, then leave the country again to apply for her residence visa. Otherwise, I would have had to fly to UK on my own, rent a property, then fly out again. Ideally, we'd be moving back again after I secure a job in the UK, but that's not always so easy. |

You need proof that you already have accommodation when you apply for the visa.
