since being in this forum only twice as a spouse visa been refused, one was because of lack of money he didnt declare and the other i cant remember but after a appeal both will be given.
let you and your hubby fill in the form and any silly questions you both have, just ask here
just tell the truth and provide all you need.
dont quit your job until you have the visa and i dont see the reason why you need to tell them about giving them the info about having a year of absence
