Spouse Visa "Settled" Question

I'm wondering if someone might be able to help me with a few questions I have about my settlement visa application.

My spouse is a UK citizen. We have been married for 2 years and we are both living and working in the US.
We need to move to the UK no later than September, when I will start graduate school in London. I don't want to apply for a student visa because I intend to live permanently in the UK.

We have a healthy savings accoung to pay for all our expenses. We don't have a job lined up yet because we can't interview in person because we're in the US.
Does he need to move to the UK, have a lease and find a permanent job before I can get a UK settlement visa? Would our savings account be enough to show that we are not going to claim public funds?

We don't want to separate and I'm hoping there is a way to have a successful visa application

Thank you in advance for your reponse(s).
