So try not to worry about what might happen and let him get over to the UK and get himself a job. The sooner you get on with it, the sooner you'll be sorted!

welll...we are both working....ummm so..
yes he wants to go home, but he doesnt want to leave me either. He is in thinking that we can try it here, if we are denied, then send him home and try again that way. I am applying for my passport this weekend, Am going to give up my vehicle (save $600 a month on just that) and we are ferreting away our pennies. We just dont want to be apart for ages....and especially because he is banned from here and I cant leave my job unless I LEAVE my job to go see him during the wait time.

You'll be in a much stronger position for the visa with DH (dear hubby) having current income in the UK than with a slightly larger sum in savings in the bank in the US.
Cheers,
Bev

i think you really underestimate how difficult round 2 will be if you get denied. once you have been denied a visa once, the chances are slim that you'll be granted one on a second attempt.

please believe us when we say its a much better idea to get your ducks in a row now than to be depending on having a second chance.
