I am a British Citizen w/American Spouse of ten years and two young children. Children are not British because I am British by descent and I had not lived in the UK for three years before their birth to register them.
We are ready to move to the UK and have placed our home up for sale. Our house could be sold and closed so we could move on or before 1 April 07 before the change in the immigration rules.
Employment/housing in the UK are not issues as we have substantial investment income. We do however, want to sell our house in the US before moving to the UK.
My question is what would happen if we apply for ILE before 1 April but are delayed in moving to the UK because the house does not sell?
What if it took another year to sell? I would think at 24 months it would be void as we would fall under the two year out of the UK rule.
Also, does anyone have any solid idea of what the new rules would look like? I am assuming, but that gets one into trouble, that four year married couples would be able to apply for ILR straight away upon receiving a passing score on Life in the UK. I can understand an initial granting of 2 year LTR but can not imagine not allowing an application for ILR until two years has passed if it was a four year marriage to start with. Any thoughts?
