I am a British woman married to a Turkish national. We have lived and worked together in England but are now in Turkey. It was our intention to stay one year to give my handicapped son a taste of life abroad, for various reasons we were unable to return as planned, 9 months ago as I flew home to my brother's funeral, my husband was brutally attacked and left for dead. I want to go home to England with my husband but new UK Border policy is making that impossible. I have calculated that I will need 16,000 pounds in the bank for six months plus an income of 18,600 per annum before I can apply for my husband's visa. I am 57 and my husband is 53. he has been left brain damaged and disabled by the attack. What can I do to overcome the difficulty of getting a visa?
