I am hoping to move to the UK in about three years after I finish my military service in the US and I am also thinking of opening an international savings account now with a British bank so I will have money when I get there. The main question I have is: If I already have an account there, will it help me gain a better chance at residency in the UK or is it still the same thing as normal immigration laws?

Thanks for any advice or info.
