Budget

Hi,

My husband and I will soon be applying for a spouse visa (for me); I have collected alot of invaluable information/advice from this forum.

Is it possible for me to be sent a copy of the budget also? I would really appreciate it.

We thought about sending the babies ahead of me. They are only 3 and 5 and I can't imagine having to put them into childcare during the days and after school when my husband is at work. They're used to being taken care of by grandparents, so we opted for them to stay with me until after the visa is ...

I asked this question in another thread, just came across this. My husband will only have about 450 pds. at the end of the month after expenses.

Wow so that means he needs 800 pounds left in his account at the end of the month. I think we may be in trouble with our application. He would only have about 450 pounds at the end of the month.

Would extensive savings and the fact that I can work make a difference?

What should we do?

What am I talking about? It was so exciting to hear that I could possibly get my visa in a couple of days, I forgot my son is in school!

I definately have to talk to my husband about this.

It doesn't matter that my husband and I lived together in Jamaica? If that is the case I would definately apply there.

In regards to the UK entry from US, I wondered if it would be a problem only because the visa was issued in JA and not the states. In addition I use my US passport to travel, so my JA passport would not reflect my entry into the US. But I suppose if any questions are asked I have my US passport on h...

Definately not planning a trip to the UK now. We're saving every penny we can. So the only trips will be my husband coming here to see us.

Thanks for that though, at least I know if for some reason I have to take a trip before my spouse visa app.

Thanks for that info. about the "KOL REQ" endorsement.

I knew I was entitled to doing the test and applying for the ILR right away but had no idea that I had to get that endorsement. Will make sure I point out the 7 years of marriage.
