We got married in Scotland and moved to US shortly thereafter. Husband is looking at job offers in the UK and may accept one soon. If he does, how do I apply to live in the UK?

If he gets a job offer, we have exactly 30 days (probably more like 25) to sort everything out. Can I apply in person in the UK? Or do I need to apply from the US and just cross my fingers it all works out?

If I enter into the UK as a visitor (the only way I can enter at this point) and make an appointment to get permission to stay -- what form or route am I supposed to be using?

Sorry for all the questions -- head is spinning. Any and all advice (especially warnings of how not to screw this up) are GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you!!! :eek:

Welcome to BE

Your question would be better off in the UK part of the forum as this part is for people trying to get a visa to go to the US.
