UK Citizen wants to bring husband (married outside of UK) where to start

Post by allyaustralia » Tue Jan 01, 2019 10:31 am

I have a British Passport (through my father) but I have never actually ever lived there.

My husband and I were married about 2.5 years ago outside of the UK. I don't have a job in the UK or a bank account in the UK as I have never lived in the UK.

Can my job and/or my savings in the USA be used to prove I am able to support him through this process? Also what visa should we apply for when we are already married (but not in the UK) and I have no actual history in the UK?

We both plan on moving and living there but not sure where to start. Can I bring him in on a visitor visa and then apply for a status change (like you can do in America)

Anyone have any idea where I should start? Its especially weird since I am kind of a foreigner to the country too even though I am a citizen holding a British passport

Thanks for your help!

Start with link below for a spouse settlement visa.

No you cannot. It is not possible to switch from a visitot category visa to a spouse visa with in the UK.
. Can my job and/or my savings in the USA be used to prove I am able to support him through this process?
How much are your savings and how long have they been held in an accessible account?

To use your US income to meet the £18,600pa financial requirement, it must meet the level AND you must have a confirmed job to start within 3 months in the UK
