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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Well I'm sorry to hear that. It seems to me that the advisor didn't help one little bit.
If your husband is in receipt of:-
- Carer’s Allowance
- Disability Living Allowance.
- Severe Disablement Allowance.
- Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit.
- Attendance Allowance
Then he will be exempt from the Financial Requirement income threshold of £18,600 pa min
This means he needs to be able to meet what is called adequate accommodation and maintenance.
In principle this means being able to show an amount of £111.45 per week after deduction of housing costs from total income.
If your husband can meet this then there should be no issues around finances.
Please check with your husband and see if he can meet that target.
Let me know and I'll point you in the right direction for documentation etc.
Sorry to say this but UKBA rules only count savings above £16000

The addition of a child in the household will have a impact of the income support level available for a family of the same size.
As I now see it your husband needs to evidence income of £176.44 per week after deduction of housing costs
You don't need to detail on this forum all the personal financial details, just can you confirm that your husband is able to meet that target of £176.44 per week?
