Hello all, my Brit wife has finally talked me into moving to England. We have a plan worked out, but now she is getting nervous. I have done several searches and read a lot of posts and the Britainusa site, but would like confirmation from someone that has made a similar move.
The plan so far is this: Our house sold way faster than expected, so she will return to England next month and start looking for a job and a flat. Her brother has room for her to stay while she looks. I plan on going early next year, likely Feb or March. I am receiving unemployment sub pay until the end of January. There is also a good chance I will be called back to work by then, which will mean I can quit and collect my holiday pay, as well as lock in another year of service credit. I also need to liquidate a lot of household goods and our vehicles, pay everything off, close all the accounts, etc. It will also allow time for me to visit my family scattered around the states before I go. I can stay here with family.
She wants to go now so that we don't have the expense of moving twice, as well as having our son change schools an extra time. ( We are in a rural district and short-term rentals are non-existant.) Besides the massively homesick thing
Will this work? Should we apply for the visa now or closer to when I leave? If we apply now, we won't have the cash from the sale of the house that we are counting on for the means of support until we find work there.
Thanks for reading long post.
