I have bee thinking and thinkibg and I can’t help but be very worried and very stressed ablut my move back to UK. Its not that I dnt want to go, I do, but husbands visa looks slim.
And I have checked.most ways to get visa, spouse looks impossible as it demands 25k wage and its unlikely I get a job that much just really doing practical thinkinganf it seems so impossible to get my husband tothe UK. I dnt know what to do just nees positive advice please.
Re: stressed out now
Try to get him a work permit, it’s going to be hard but if you’re settled there from a long period of time and have family roots there you might be able to do that.
That’s the only way for him to be there and this one is little tricky. One other way can be if he can volunteer for any organization not sure about that very well but that will allow him to be there for a while.

“stressed out now”
how unusual.
Do you have the option to stay put in Pakistan, on the table?
Re: stressed out now
a UK citizen needs to have a certain income to bring his/her spouse over? that doesnt sound right. are you sure?
Re: stressed out now
^ yeah, if nadz is talking about what i think she’s talking about then you do need to earn a certain amount to be able to bring your spouse over. nadz, isn’t it 18k though?
Re: stressed out now
^ no because she has two children as well so the minimum income requirement increases.
Re: stressed out now
I thought it was £18k? Anywho, just do what most of my mates do, they get an accountant to declare that they make a higher income and pay extra tax out of your own pocket. Simples.
Re: stressed out now
whaaa?! i did not know that. how do they expect a parent with kids to work enough to earn 25k without spousal support?
Re: stressed out now
If she’s half decent educated, just get someone to give you a reference and get a 25-30k admin job down in London - you’ll have to waffle abit when it comes to why you don’t have a P45 but can be done.
Re: stressed out now
I know you are stressed but arrgggg I told you this years ago when I said STAY in the UK until your husband gets his spouse visa. Those days it was only 2 years to get indefinite stay as well, now it’s 5/10 years. Anyway, as I also told you before, you are right, there is no way other than you earning over 25K… whether you actually do or whether it’s ‘declared’ as suggested above. But just know that even if you manage to get him over here, either you will need to keep working and earning the required amount, or he will have to, because you have to renew the visa until 5/10 years are completed.
Re: stressed out now
Just another one of Theresa May’s lovely policies.
Re: stressed out now
Himmat, Nadz, himmat, make the move! Good things are not easy in life, but worthwhile the struggle. IA all will be well. You are educated and have a network, people with less do this.
Re: stressed out now
A lot of lawyers r saying its 18k. Because ur children are British and in the UK ,u r not bringing them with u as a dependet from outside. And then soke say 25k. Odd
Re: stressed out now
We came back because of husband. I already explained all this tohim back in 2011. Anyhow what can we do now.
Re: stressed out now
Explained? nadz, you throw a fit over everything, why not this. You must have known you’d want to come back to the UK at some point.
Anyway, everyone has already told you in both this thread and your previous thread what your solution is. There is no easy way, I know you are looking for one. There are no loopholes. They have made it soooo hard even for legitimate couples who are working and earning so how do you think they are going to leave any route for people wanting it easy? There’s almost zero chance your hubby can come on a work visa. You have to sponsor him so you just have to get over here and get a job earning over the required amount (I think you are right about 18k because the kids are British).
Re: stressed out now
husband stay in pakistan and nadz in uk. problem solved.
stressed out now
Only soloution is to get a job, you mentioned you are educated so for a year or two youre just going to have to sacrifice and work hard. The state will want to see that youre not a burden and neither will your hubby be. Sucks but maybe live with parents im assumimg rent free and try and save as much as your wage as possible and stay commited. No easy way out
Re: stressed out now
I think you need to have savings on top of the minimum yearly earnings. If not, then your yearly minimum goes up and / or vice versa. Not sure about this. It’s not hard to live in the UK due to free medical , free schooling, public transport and rent free due to your family. In the U.S., in most places you need a car and if you fall sick you are doomed. So all you would be worried about Nadz is food etc.
IA, you will be able to do it. Regarding loopholes, I see desis finding these all the time even here in the U.S. Once you get to the UK IA you will find more information. Yes, it will be hard but easier than most due to your cotizenship and everything . Good luck!
Re: stressed out now
How did u get him to agree to move is what I want to know (Cuz I’m in a similar boat).
