What are my chances at Settlement VISA Success?

[pompeyboy]

Ok, I promise that this is the last time I ask questions on here. I want experienced people to judge their opinion on whether my UK Settlement VISA will be successful. The cost for our applications are $6500, so I want to know I have a reasonable chance. Here is our situation...

1) I am a dual citizen of UK/Canada. I have my British passport (through my father's birth in UK), so no worries about me coming to UK.

2) I have a wife (of 17 years) and four children (ages 5-15). They are all Canadians.

3) I am leaving my current job of 3 years with a major tech company and have a solid job in the UK with the same company. My pay will be 27,000 GBP and after taxes that becomes about 20,700 GBP.

4) My wife has a degree in a business field where she has worked for over 20 years. She does not have a job offer in the UK, but has contacted agencies and they say with her resume, she will have no problems getting a job. The guidance says they will consider the sponsor and my wife's potential income.

5) We have an offer of accommodation from a friend in the UK. The friend has a 5 bedroom (plus receptions). It is only him and his wife that live in this house that is owned by him.

6) We have savings of about 5000 GBP after we pay for our 5 visa applications. If I wait a month, I could probably have another 2000 GBP in savings. I just don't want to wait if I don't have to as we want our kids in the schools there.

What are your thoughts on our chances?

Thanks so much.

His thoughts are that you should stick to one thread. I think that is good advice.

Pompeyboy, if you're really unsure of the extensive advice you've been given so far, it may give you peace of mind if you consult a legal professional.
