[ALUB]

I'm back I need some information regarding visa settlement... I posted before that i was refused three times for visit visa and the last time i want my daughter to join her father in UK... Thank God she there now but I am still worried bout my husband and daughter. I am planning now to apply for settlement visa but i need more information.. I am now here in Saudi working I got a yearly contract and have good salary my husband is not working and under the govt fund. My daughter she is only 9 months old now and i really missed her so much. I want to apply here in saudi for settlement visa i need to know if i have a chance of approval if i apply here since i have the work and my income is good. Can i apply and work also here if i will be approve? I need the job here to prove them that i am not using any money from the govt that i can support my self....I just want to be with my love ones specially my daughter who really needs me and my husband not in good condition. I am worried that no one there to look after my baby if something happen to my husband.I want to apply my visa in six months time to show how much money i have in my bank to support me in two years. I really need help now any suggestions ...

Firstly I an sorry about your situation. From what I have read on here if your husband is disabled and claiming disability allowance you might stand a chance. If not your husband needs to earn £18600 per year to support you. They will not take your earnings from abroad into account. I am sure the others on here will give you advice. Good luck.

Yes my husband is under disability allowance... He can't work at all and thats worry me because he maybe ok now taking care of my daughter but im worried that he may not be strong to take care of our baby for the next month specially during winter where he always have severe asthma due to cold weather. It terrify me everytime asthma attack him i cant look at him....But i will still try to apply for settlement visa i need to be with my daughter....My husband dont want my child to be raise in philippines he wants it there with him.

ALUB, Andy is correct.
If your husband is not working then it's not possible that a visa leading to settlement will be granted to you under the circumstances you describe.
Perhaps your husband could try and find an immigration advisor for a free consultation about any possibilities that might exist concerning you and your daughter.
Just thinking outside the box.

He is now looking for immigration advisor for consultation I am just hoping they help us with this matter....

I'm hoping he can receive help.
In principle any DLA he receives will allow exemption from the financial requirement of £18600 income.

However he still needs to be able to provide evidence of sufficient maintenance and accomodation to support you.
I think a quick consultation will be enough to determine if the overall situation looks OK.
Good luck

If it's TOEIC test at Hopkins test centre then it's OK

By the way, did you check if your husband can meet the maintenance requirements for income as an exemption from Financial Requirements?

It is the same. You are applying for a visa to settle in the UK.

A settlement visa can be either, spouse, Fiance or civil partnership.

No, If you are applying for settlement visa then you will need to be in the UK after the visa is issued. Having the job in Saudi will have no bearing on the visa application as you would be expected to leave your job to settle in the UK.

hi to everyone I need more information for visa application. Do i need to take the Life in UK test and get medical for tuberculosis here in saudi i already passed the english test i took three months ago HOPKINS is it still valid or they need other english test ESOL before i apply this comming february 2013. My husband always ask me that i need medical before applying.

[melovesengland]

im sure your english cert has validity date on it so please check it. if its valid still then you dont need to take another english test.

no you dont need to take life in the uk test yet but you need to pass the test for your ilr or citizenship application in future.

saudi arabia is not on the list of countries that uk requires the applicants to be screened first.

but just to make sure try to go for a medical to obtain a cert. they might look for your cert in the airport. just to avoid hassles for you.
