UK Financial Requirement

[catsutton14 0]

Hi, 

I'm a Brit married to an American.  I have US citizenship and we currently reside in the Maryland!  We're looking to move back to the UK next summer/early Autumn.  Due to planning to expand our family, we're trying to avoid the 'job offer' option and go down the 'savings' route.  I know if you don't add anything else into the mix, they require you to have 62,500 (GPB) in savings and it must be in an account for 6 months.  We do not have that in savings (I wish!) but it does mention that a pension can be considered towards that amount.  My question is, is it okay if that pension is a US pension?  And secondly do we need to release the money from our pension account or can it stay in there and we just send a copy of our statement as evidence of how much we have?

 

Thanks!

I would expect to find very little information here other than for US immigration....good luck.

Have you posted your question on the UK Yankee site? They would be more knowledgeable about UK visa requirements.
