Hi,
I am a British Citizen married to an Indian. We were married outside UK and have never been to UK together. We are currently in Australia on work visa's and husband has just lost job and we have 28 days to leave the country. I am trying to work out whether to go ahead to UK and leave him here for a few months on a tourist visa, or try and enter together.
We were married in March 2006 in India.... if I apply now for a spouse visa, being that it will be just shy of 4 years of marriage which would get him ILR, would they definitely only give spouse visa and require proof of relationship after a further 2 yrs in the country? It will be difficult for us to remain apart, and very expensive.... do you think it's better to wait. We need to vacate an expensive rental we live in and it would be very hard to find temporary accommodation for him until he could come to UK. Not working and worrying about money would also be tough. I haven't worked for 4 years as I am a housewife (no kids) and not confident I want to go back into fulltime work.
Another thing is that I don't have any accommodation set up ahead of arrival. I would probably stay with a friend initially. At a push I could arrange something, but doesn't accom have to be inspected these days before you get spouse visa granted?
Any advice very very welcome... many thanks!
