Re: Brit living in US. Which visa for US spouse?

Thanks again SanDiegogirl. It sounds like the timing of everything has to just right in order for it to work out. Sell a house, buy/lease, application, on & on - I'm already stressed and it's a year...

Re: Brit living in US. Which visa for US spouse?

Wow! Thanks again SanDiegogirl - you've been an enormous help. Just one last question to be sure I understand. Do we need accommodation lined up before we submit the application? Does the address and...

Re: Brit living in US. Which visa for US spouse?

Let's say we apply for the spouse visa in January with the expectation to move to England in January. While we're waiting for approval, is it still okay for her to visit the UK for a trip since we'll...

Re: Brit living in US. Which visa for US spouse?

I just saw that it's about 500 GBP less to apply for a spouse visa from inside the UK than outside the UK. Since she doesn't need a visa to enter the UK as a US citizen, would it be better for us to...

Re: Brit living in US. Which visa for US spouse?

Thanks SanDiegogirl. I appreciate your explanation. Hopefully we won't be counting on the proceeds of the house but good to know. Can the savings be a combination of 2 accounts, i.e. one UK and one...

Re: Brit living in US. Which visa for US spouse?

Good idea but no, she's originally from India but had to give up her citizenship when she got US citizenship. No dual citizenship for Indians!

Re: Brit living in US. Which visa for US spouse?

Thank you SanDiegogirl. Let's say we don't buy a place before we arrive, do you know for how long we'd need to secure a rental place to live? For example, can we just rent a place for a couple of...

Re: Opening UK bank account from the US?
