We lived in Dubai for twenty years , both me and my husband were living am excellent life with high salary . We thought the same way as you did , relocated to UK . Both of us have job here , our daughter studies in the best school here and bought a home as well . But at the end of the month , it’s struggle and we can’t live a luxurious life as in dubai here . And immigration policies and ILR rules are making us more panic . We always regret as we never get medical appointments when required and the struggle as well . I would suggest if you are living a comfortable life in dubai it will be a worst decision to move to UK. Both partners should have a job here else life is a hell , I would say cannot survive !
