I was wondering if anyone can help me. I don't know where else to turn and I'm starting to get really stressed out over this whole process.
I'm a US citizen applying for a settlement visa to join my husband (a UK citizen) who resides and works in the UK. We've got most of the paperwork sorted out, I just have a couple of questions:
1. My husband works for the Navy and has an income of 17,000 pounds. I just finished a teaching contract in south korea, and while I was working and receiving income, I now am technically unemployed. I have a bonus of 6 thousand dollars that I am waiting to receive from the korean government. (but only half of that will arrive by the time I turn in the application) He only has about 1,000 pounds in savings. Will this be enough to cover the financial requirements?
2. As for the application, I'm confused as to what to put for my employment status. I am currently unemployed as I just finished an overseas teaching contract. But for the past year (up to Feb 2012) I have been employed, and I have my contract and bankbook to prove it. So my question is, should I put put "employed" and provide the UKBA with this information, or should I just put "unemployed"?
3. I just opened a new US bank account in which my bonus funds will be put into. So I won't have six months of bank statements to show my savings. What should I do in this case?
I apologize for the amount of information. I just can't find answers to these questions, as the website is vague on information or people to contact.
I will greatly appreciate any help!
Regards,
Mrs. Wrigglesworth
