Helping my husband

Are you prepared and able to support him for a period of time after he moves on a spouse visa? Or help him get any equivalencies? (I have a friend who just finished his UK GCSE's in his 20s)

The lack of a high school diploma may get in the way of many things. Community colleges and libraries often have GED programs, if you want to PM the town he's in I can have a closer look tomorrow to see if I can find anything. If he's been out of work for an extended period of time, it will always damage prospects but if he's willing to do anything then I'm sure he will be OK. We have seen people get fast food jobs before they've even been able to set up bank accounts. It's definitely not glorious work but it's a paycheck!

The town he lives in is so small there is nothing in his area, the closest town to him that can provide something is about a 20 minute drive which would be fine if there was public transport from his town. - unfortunately they only offer this transport to the elderly and disabled.

I'm more than happy to support him for a while after he gets here, i manage to put a couple hundred in m savings each month at the moment and while my savings will be mostly depleted paying for the visa i will still have enough to support us each month.

Just as an FYI - a number of apprenticeships have shown up in my recent job searches. To qualify, as they are often government funded, you need the equivalent of A levels and to have resided in the UK or EEA for a minimum of 3 years. They really don't make it easy for spouses to adapt to life here.
