ILR question: ability to live elsewhere
« on: September 18, 2019, 05:04:41 PM »
Just a sense-check here, hopefully my very final question.

I know the board usually advises people to answer YES to this question: "Could you and your partner live together outside the UK if necessary?"

However, my partner has a genetic condition that is treated for free by the NHS. He has to inject medication at least 3x/week; in the USA, each one of those injections is about $9000 before insurance (I've never actually *had* health insurance in the USA, so this terrifies me).

I'm thinking it's fine to answer the question NO and explain the condition; is this correct? As long as he has medication, he's 100% fine. But the risks in the USA and cost make me think it's a hard no to living there.
