I thought you had to be here for two years on a spousal visa before applying for ILR?John wrote:Roughly how much savings will the two of you have? Sale of business could mean anything! £5000? £5m? What?
When you apply for your spouse visa, make a point of pointing out how long the two of you have been married, and ask for the "KOL REQ" endorsement on your visa. That way, as you say, when you get to the UK, take and hopefully pass the test, and then you can apply for ILR without delay.
Very clearly the financial test will be passed, even if neither of you are yet in employment in the UK.We are hoping to have around 500000 pounds to buy a house and also have a buffer to live on for a year to find work.
As you have already been living with your wife, outside the UK, for at least 4 years, it should be the case that the "KOL REQ" endorsement should be applied automatically. However it is not unknown for British Missions around the world to miss the point, so no harm at all you pointing out in a covering letter the time you and your wife have been married, and living together outside the UK, and pointing out the spouse visa should be issued with the "KOL REQ" endorsement.What is the KOL REQ endorsement exactly and how do I apply for it i.e. seperate letter requesting it?
