The big risk with this route is that nobody knows how it will play out post Brexit. Have you looked at the spouse visa route based on earnings?

Is this having a job to go to that earns the certain amount? Considered this too but unsure how to go about finding the work while still in oz? 

This is what I am interested in too. Im British Born and have an Aussie hubby and son. Hubby misses the ancestry visa by 1 generation and saving up the required funds for the spouse visa is impossible. This seems to be our only option, the surinder singh route. That is if it is possible...

I wish I was returning in 2016 with my hubby n bubs. Trying to get my head around getting my Aussie hubby a visa. Can't afford the 60 odd thousand as don't have a house to sell so now looking into me getting a job offer. Just want to be back there already. Hard being torn between two countries.

Does your partner have a UK born parent or grandparent? Or perhaps a European born parent or grandparent? If no then your only option is the spouse visa which will require the savings amount mentioned it can be from the sale of a house in which case it doesn't have be held for 12 months. Alternatively you would need to have a job already lined up before you go earning at least 18,600 pounds per year plus i think it's an extra 2,000 if you have a child. Not a very fair system to me but it is what it is. Good luck to you.

His one generation out, his great grandparents were Irish. Looks like the only way will be for me to get a job as we don't have a house to sell or that amount of money. Does seem unfair really. They make it as hard as they can for us! Obviously don't want us back ?

Be aware, too, that as a family, when you arrive, there are benefits that you and your child should be entitled to as citizens, will not be available to your family because they could be seen as providing government support to your DH and his visa will specifically exclude any form of government support. My friend is on the spouse visa and it isn't very comfortable for them (regular reviews of their situation/income too). I'm guessing you've exhausted all other visa possibilities?!

Just wondering what other visa possibilities are there? I am British and want to go back-to the UK with my Aussie husband and bubs. There is no way we will be able to afford to save the amount specified to be in the account for however long. Interested to find out whether there is an alternative route? Seems they make it so hard for us to be able to return back home which our families!
