Returning to USA with UK spouse?
« on: February 16, 2013, 06:14:06 PM »
(Question for a friend!)

They have $27,000 in savings, she is USA and he is UK, they have been in the UK for 4 years, they are married... no kids.

Can they get an approval for the visa to go to the USA together to live there, with that amount of savings?

They do not have job offers, but they DO have a place to stay when they get there.

Anyone know? Is there a suggested or set savings amount?

Many thanks!!!!!

The US allows assets to be used in order to meet the financial requirements. The total needed is three times 125% of the poverty guideline for the year for their household size ($18,913).

So no, they won't make it on savings alone. They'll need a co-sponsor in the US.

Thank you! Sadly that was also my understanding when i read the rules... I was hoping I was wrong.
