Apr 3, 2018 at 18:26 comment added Sabin17 @Traveller i dnt intend to stay at my husbands house. Since the exam is only held in manchester... but that is also what i am concerned about.
Apr 3, 2018 at 18:20 comment added Traveller @dumbcoder Assuming the OP intends to stay with her family in the UK does the husband being unemployed muddy the water even further? That is, could the ECO take the view that the OP would indirectly have recourse to public funds ie via any benefits the husband is receiving?
Apr 3, 2018 at 18:17 comment added user16259 Also, anyone visiting to take plab must be intending to work in the UK and so inevitably have weaker ties to home. I would expect the home office to factor this in. I imagine you should include evidence of your exam booking.
Apr 3, 2018 at 17:26 comment added Sabin17 @user16259 i hope so too. Ive invested a lot of time and effort in these liscensing exams.
Apr 3, 2018 at 17:21 comment added Sabin17 @Traveller i have put some thought into the finances and yes i could show savings. Its the family ties that has me worried since my husband resides in the Uk.

Apr 3, 2018 at 10:49 comment added user16259 @dumbcoder I agree. I hope Sabin17 and the home office take the economically rational view that it is better to work as a licenced doctor anywhere than to live illegally in the UK, unable to practice your profession.
Apr 3, 2018 at 10:36 comment added DumbCoder @user16259 If she didn't had an husband who is a British citizen, that would have been enough. Considering her husband is a citizen, that muddies up the situation quite strongly. The officer would find that as a very big motive to not return.
Apr 3, 2018 at 9:18 comment added user16259 The fact that you are applying to take a recognised test (and optionally a related course) is very strong, as is the fact you have a job. Hopefully this outweighs not having property.

Apr 3, 2018 at 8:07 comment added Traveller How much do you plan to spend on your trip and is this a reasonable amount given your monthly income and general financial situation? Can you show savings in your home country and is it feasible to leave your daughter in the care of relatives during your visit (it’s not clear from your question where your husband resides)? A stable job, family ties and savings should be a reasonable premise for a short visit application.
