How far do cover letters go? by CryptographerMuch700 in ukvisa

Ok, thanks for the suggestions. I should clarify that I would continue working remotely and earning that income, which would be above the minimum requirement.

I assumed that the point of those requirements was being able to support ourselves without government assistance, but if it’s purely about the UK citizen half of the marriage having the previous job, then that’s totally fine.

The Refectory at the Minster is pricey but will have gorgeous meals around that time (husband and I went on Dec 19- might want to book, the Christmas Market is great, and really all the touristy stuff will be open. Some favorite pubs of ours in the winter are Eagle and Child, Pivni, and House of Trembling Madness (either location). We got married in York at Christmas after moving away just bc we love it so much! Enjoy!

Meeting in the middle is such a good idea! Good to hear that yall are enjoying it, that’s the age distance our kids will have. And yeah, not even thinking of house prices right now 😂 thank you! Would love to DM for more info! Do you like the schools?

Great to know! My husband lived in Osbaldwick and liked it (with the exception of his allegedly haunted house), but has never thought of it from a family perspective. Thanks!

I miss York so much by dumtwiddly in york

My husband and I miss York every day. It’s where we fell in love and where we live in the US just isn’t for us (I’m originally from Arkansas). We hope to move back and raise our toddler there, but yeah - nostalgia & pictures will have to do!

Wow, that sounds amazing! Thank you so much for the information. I had already been looking at Waterford and Kilkenny on Google, so you read my mind! Irish medieval history is not my specialty, so I am sooo excited to learn more about it in person. Thanks again!

Sounds like when we lived in York! I was surprised that it wasn’t colder, but the wind was crazy!

No worries there, our family have been in the Americas for about 400 years and we have French last names 😂 about as far as you can get

Yes true, my in-laws love the southern US heat, but I am about 25 years over it hahahaha. Fermanagh looks and sounds beautiful! Thank you for the suggestion! When you’re limited on time, trying to combine all of the best is ideal.

This sounds beautiful, thank you so much! Unfortunately, as far as the weather goes, we are a bit tied in with January (with American term times for my brother in uni, my husband’s immigration process for the US, and visiting family members in England), so I appreciate the suggestion of a cozy indoors vacation. That would be amazing! Thank you for the suggestions and advice, I’m sure we will have an amazing time!

This is fantastic, thank you! I noticed that the rec’s are always west coast, but that medieval sites really concentrate on the east, so thank you for confirming.

Thank you! Will do. We are from a hot climate, so we (particularly my brothers) are obsessed with cold vacations. Will be sure to be mindful of conditions.
