Here is what I found out about Set(m): - It is possible for your visa to be approved in the 28 days prior to your "qualifying date" (that is the date on which you reach your time requirement in the UK).

Re: Pregnant Japanese wife and i want to move back to UK

can I ask what is it that has persuaded you that life in the UK will be better?

Is it push or pull? Are you unhappy with your life in Japan or is it more a case of wanting to try things in the UK?

Re: Relying on savings - when can you spend them?

yeah, it's a shame, we actually had 37k in that account 7 weeks ago when we did the application and have withdrawn down to 35k, but can't go any further.

We will wait and not touch that account
