Hi Everyone,
I am American married to British husband, we live together in US. I was granted a Spousal VISA under the old rules last year. It expires in 2014. Unfortunately my 85 year old grandmother became ill just after the VISA was granted so we needed to delay our move.
My question is...as we come upon renewal of the VISA, and hope to still move to London...will the renewal be under the old rules or the new? My husband is an artist with unpredictable income, we were able to be accepted because of my income and a job offer in London. He owns real estate but I understand that isn't able to be considered because it's not liquid enough.
We have $60,000 in savings, will this be enough to get us the VISA renewal? If not, can we again be approved on my income, which is around $200K per annum? I guess the biggest part of what I'm confused about is whether or not the renewal will fall under the new or old rules.
Thank you very much, the folks on this forum have been a wonderful help and consolation.
