Moving back to the UK

[EmKamp 16]

Hey, Everyone. 
 

I did a post around 3 years ago about the difficulties adjusting to the US. At the time I had my GC and was struggling to get by and found it incredibly hard to adjust to my/our new life here. 
 

I did take everyone’s advice. And I am so thankful I did. Thank you to everyone who commented on that post with their advice. 

Another 3 years have passed by and being in a more financially stable position and I have had my citizenship for over a year, we‘re still wanting to return to the U.K. This is nothing negative towards the the US. I love this country because it is the country I met the love of my life. 
 

We do plan on returning to the U.K. I have googled and researched as much information as possible and there is one thing I am struggling to understand and I would love some advice/answers from my fellow VJ people. 
 

As I am not currently a resident of the UK, I do hold British citizenship. Me and my wife have had jobs earning over the £18,600 threshold for 3 years. The accommodation side of things are no problem. 
 

Now this is what I do not understand. As a British citizen returning to the U.K, do I have to have a job lined up within 2 months of returning? Or, if I have cash savings over £62,500 would that be an option instead? 
 

Im a little confused on the financial side of things. Can I have savings or do I need to have a job lined up regardless of my amount of savings? (Over £200,000) 

 

Any information would be appreciated and I thank you for the time to read my post. 
 

Thanks.

Here is a site for Americans moving to/living in the UK.

 

My limited understanding is that you will need to use savings.

Hey! Do you happen to have an update to your journey? 
 

I am from the UK and thinking of moving back with my American husband. Feeling lost and confused- not sure where to start!

Unless you qualify for DCF you can file the I 130 on line

Thank you for responding. I was inquiring about this journey back to the UK with my American husband. I am dual- originally from UK. We potentially are looking to move back. Unsure where to start with it…
