Hi All!
I am officially filling out my application to move to the UK to be with my husband. I have asked questions here, read lots of different post, but i figure one thread might be simpler to post my running questions here as i complete this process.
A little background:
I (US citizen) am looking to move to the UK with my husband (UK Citizen) with our daughter (both US and UK citizen). My husband is moving back 12/01/2017 (so Friday of this week) and living with his friends (a married couple with no children) in a 2 bedroom house they own (with mortgage). They plan to allow me and our daughter to live with as well for the application. My daughter and I will be moving to the UK together once my visa is granted (with y'alls help). I am travelling for Christmas with our daughter to visit my husband 12/21/2017-01/01/2018. I plan to submit my application on 01/02/2018 as non-priority as i still have items to sell along with finishing the close of our home.
Our means of application is from an inheritance i was given from my late father; the inheritance is 2 real properties, one is 1/2 ownership of 50 acres of land and one is 1/2 ownership of my childhood home. The court order officially making this land and home mine was filed June 20 2017 and the specialty warranty deeds removing my dad's second wife from the property were signed July 21 2017 (though i do not plan to include these deeds as the court order specifies the properties were to go to my sister and I.) We sold the land on September 17 2017 and this gave me $74k (which sadly is not enough) and i then sold my rights to the childhood home to my sister for $35k in October 2017. Both proceeds from sale were deposited into the same account. I plan to include both the deed stating the sale of the land (with the sum of $160k showing for sale, half of which was mine less the fees =74k) and the affidavit of payoff for the sale of my fathers home (35k).
Spouse and my background:
We met in 2006 when i was traveling to visit the UK for a summer holiday. We were married in 2007 in the US and then in May 2008 spouse moved back to the UK as we could not seem to get a visa in the USA and I was pregnant with out daughter. We stayed separated for 2 years and divorced in the fall of 2010. Then in 2011 spouse made the big gesture and we remarried in July 2011. We have been married since 2011 and gone through the US immigration process and currently my husband is a green card holder waiting for his interview for a US citizenship (he plans to return to go to the interview and to take the oath ceremony.) However due to family matters we are looking to move back to Scotland to be near his mum and father.
On to the questions:
1. On the Personal Details and Travel history under Travel and Criminal History when it asks if you have been issued a visa for the UK in the last 10 years, is this talking about a visitors visa? I have visited the UK 3 times (included the upcoming trip) since 2007.
2. Will the affidavit of pay off and the special warranty deed work as show of sale of the inherited real property?
3. Do i need to include the special warranty deed from the relinquishing of my fathers second wife's portion of the property be needed? Noting that the Court Order clearly states she is to withdrawal her rights to the real property. (if needed i can quote what the court order states)
4. Other than supplying a copy of our 2007 marriage certificate along with our 2010 divorce decree do i need to explain anything further with the divorce?
Again thank all of you for your help and feedback!!!!!
