On a 2006 Ford Focus 1.6 Diesel the...

Wilto,

Moving to the UK and the whole visa situation is not simple.

My wife and I are in a slightly similar situation in that we both live in the US, I am a UK citizen and she is not. From my...

Hello Pennylessindia,

Thanks for your response. I actually posted this here first and then on the immigrationboards. I've read the responses there and agree with the advice given.

Thanks again.

Re: Spousal settlement visa question USA to UK.

Well there's the first spanner in the works. I had read that expeditors could push the visas through in a couple of days. So though I didn't like the idea of them, I was going to grin and bear it.

Hello Triboy,

There's a multitude of difficulties I think expats face when returning home, add to that a husband, wife or partner that hasn't lived in the UK and it can be even harder.

Re: Can you take the KoL test while on holiday in the UK?

Thanks for the excellent information. My only thing was that if we go to the UK for the test it's going to be the cost of two return flights, holiday expenses, etc. Depending on where you're flying...

Re: Can you take the KoL test while on holiday in the UK?

Did you study the book first? Is it one of those things that if you read it once you should be okay or is it A Level Physics time again.

Re: Can you take the KoL test while on holiday in the UK?

I don't know how long the certificate lasts and can't find anything in relation to that. I don't think that it's any cheaper coming for a holiday and taking the test then. It may actually be more...

Re: Can you take the KoL test while on holiday in the UK?

Thanks for that. Your response tally's with what I've just read on some other sites.

As a follow up, if by chance you fail the test, is there a waiting period before you can take it again?

From what I understand if you work in the US and return to the UK, social security payments in the US can be counted towards your UK pension, I think it's down to the reciprocal social...

My understanding is that the forms are the same it's just a note that you put in the application that you would like to go for ILE. My reading is then that if you could not supply the KoL certificate...

Re: Indefinite Leave to Enter (ILE) and the 4 year rule.

I feel the same way that if it's possible for the UK spouse to do so, it's easier for them to move first and then the non UK spouse afterwards. However, this does depend on the personal circumstances...
