Hi everyone,
I really appreciate reading all the contributions to the list. I'm a UK citizen, my wife's American and we live in the US. We're hoping to apply for a visa for her so we can move back to the UK together. I have a job offer over there so that part is fine.
However, in satisfying the income requirements for the twelve months prior to moving to the UK, I know I can't use my wife's actual salary - but can we use her non-employment income to help reach the 18,600GBP limit? She's a PhD student, and receives an annual stipend of $20,000, I believe that money is eligible, but I wanted to check. I'm also a student, so I don't think I'll reach the 18,600GBP limit on my own.
Many thanks
