needs help on savings thingy please!
Hi everyone!
I would like to ask if a savings of 1500 quid is enough to apply for a spouse visa and the visa fee will be included in that amount.
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Basically, Marga ... the sponsoring partner needs to earn at least £18,600 gross per annum. Unfortunately this is a hard and fast rule which is inflexible.
My understanding is, that savings can only be used *to make up a shortfall in the amount earned - and, in *such cases, MUST exceed £16,000 - while independent means of £64,000 is required in the event of there being NO earned income.
So ... to say, the 1,500 quid you've mentioned, will NOT count.

Thanks Arthur Little.
My husband is earning above the 18,600 quid per annum.What worries us is the savings he has in his bank account.
So you mean,a savings of 300 quid will be okay to lodge the application?
Thanks again.

Hi Marga. No need for savings at all. As long as you meet the required threshold. To put your mind at rest. I have just lodged my application with no savings at all. Not a bean!!
