I need some advice for Settlement Visa for my Family

Post by pompeyboy » Sat Aug 06, 2011 4:33 pm

Hi everyone, here is my situation...

I am a British citizen living in Canada with my wife and family. My citizenship comes from my father born in UK. I am planning on moving to the UK with my family.

• I have a firm job offer from the company I currently work for in Canada to relocate and work in the UK. The salary is 27,000 GBP, but after taxes it is about 21,000. I know the VISA people will not consider the Child Tax Credits I would receive.

• My wife is currently not working, but she is employable as she as a diploma as an accountant and has worked several years in this field.

• We have been married for 17 years. My children range from 5 yrs to 15 yrs old.

I know that I would fall short of the required support level of 350 GBP a week for my wife and kids, but there is potential that my wife would work.

• We would have savings of about 5000 GBP and we also have the money for airfare and VISA costs.

• The area we are looking at living, housing costs are 625 GBP a month plus council tax. I was thinking of moving one month a head of my family applying so I can establish myself - rent a suitable home, open bank account, etc.

• Lastly, we do own our home in Canada (but still have a mortgage). We have a contract with someone to rent our home from us in Canada. After we pay mortgage, we will receive $400 CAN/month from that.

Can anyone give me advice or their thoughts on whether my wife and kids could get a settlement visa? Do you think they have a chance?
