Moving from FL to England, where husband is from

3 years ago

Hi there,

I am not sure how active this forum is, but we are looking for some insight.

My husband is from England and moved to the US three years ago on a K1 fiancé visa. We have really enjoyed our time in Florida, but have agreed it is time to prepare to move back to England. I know that I can apply for a spouse visa, which is fine. But because my husband is here with me we aren't sure if there is something different we need to do for him. He is still a citizen but is a US resident at the moment.

We also don't know how to meet the financial requirement. Because he doesn't have a job in England, he doesn't meet the salary requirements. We are thinking we then need the £18000 just on hand, but the website says if it's an amount over £16000 we need to have it in the bank for six months before we can apply.

Has anyone had any experience with a similar situation? We did the whole American visa process without a lawyer, but this time it seems more complicated. Thanks!
