I am originally from the U.K. and after 21 years we are selling up and moving back. The kids and I have dual citizenship but my wife just has US citizenship, so we will be applying for a spousal visa. The dilemma is which category? I am currently negotiating with my employer who is a big multinational to work remotely from there. They want to do that, but I have nothing in writing yet and they are trying to figure out how to do it. The complication is that although my company has a presence in the U.K., my department does not, so the internal accounting systems are messing things up and it is taking a long time to sort out.
Also, we are putting our house on the market it two weeks and being in the heart of a Silicon Valley, it will sell immediately and once that completes, possibly in July, we would easily qualify under the savings category, although from what I understand, you must have the money in an account for 6 months first.
We already have had an offer accepted on a house in the U.K. and we should be completing that towards the end of August. The kids are already enrolled in school starting in September, so we really do need to move by the end of August.
I am now getting concerned about how long the visa application will take as time is moving on and although we will qualify in multiple categories, I don't know if we do right at this time.
So does anyone know how long the whole process could take if we go for the premium processing?
