hi,
i have a friend of mine, she is a wife of UK citizen husband, she and her husband living abroad and would like to satell in UK. she is aware of the new rules change (2 years leave to remain visa). her questions are:-
1) will she be allowed to work when she getleave to remain visa?
2) can she and her husband stay overseas for work if they did not get suitable job in UK?
3) any expiry for leave to remain if stays outside of UK?
4) will she be able to renew additional 2 years leave to remain visa if she stays outside of UK for a job?

new rules which she read:

"Leave to remain" cannot be applied for from outside the UK.
Entry clearance is now granted for 33 months, and settlement requires 5 years of stay in UK.

Suggest that your friend and her husband read through the guidances given here.
Life isn't fair, but you can be!
