It's a longshot (& won't be easy by any means) but it may be worth looking at Surinder Singh...

It means moving your centre of life to a.n.other EU country (for example Eire or Malta) & working there;
or, perhaps more realistically in your circumstances, running your own business which may be the best bet for you.

Your spouse lives there with you & would have the right to work (for your small business perhaps) &/or to study etc.

It also means that on your eventual return to UK (if you choose to return) you would be considered as an EU citizen & treated under EU rules;
ie no financial requirements &, for your spouse, no LITUK or language test.
(It would be prudent to have child born in UK first though, if longterm plans do involve life in UK).

No, YOU have to meet the financial requirement as the sponsor. A spouse applying from outside the UK cannot meet the requirement themselves, this would only be applicable to use the applicants income if they were applying WITHIN the UK.

There is no standard template. Just a letter of invite stating dates etc and the personal/passport information.

Same with employer letter, just state the facts.

He needs to prove his ties to his home country, personal circumstances, financial circumstances, family, property etc.

It is probably likely that he will not get a visa, prepare yourself for a refusal. There are no appeal rights for visitor visas.

Make sure any passport copies are certified copies. The post office can do this for a fee.

What about your husbands bank statements and payslips.

Is your 'job offer' genuine and are you genuinely planning to leave the UK?

I asked if the job offer is genuine, not the visa. If UKVI contact your 'job offer' employer and they know nothing about you, his visa will be refused for deception.

It might also raise a question with UKVI on why they should grant him a visit visa when you can go there if you have a job to go to.

If he is stating his savings, he needs to produce the bank statements.

He needs to provide as much documentary evidence as possible to convince HO that he is a 'genuine visitor' and what his personal circumstances are in his home country.
