Hi :Hellooo:
Just to kindley ask for our further leave to remain, is there any set amount of savings i should have in the bank at all?:cwm3:
I am disabled myself and i get full Housing/ council tax benefits, I get D.L.A higher rate care and mobility, and E.S.A, i get around £240 a week, so i get over the £111 a couple would get on J.S.A, after bills retn etc as mine are zero amount to be paid, i have just over £120 left over a week, and my wife has just over £1700 in the bank, i know i'm on disability benefits and we were granted a visa to start of with, now its stage two and my stomach turns with worry once again, i carnt manage to travel to do the application in person with her as i'm just to ill (and i feel really bad about that) so were doing it by post, as i have this kind of money coming (£240) income and i have been saving like mad since the wedding trying to build up our savings again (this has been very hard living on a small amount of money and saving like mad) as when we first applied i had over £2000 now it dropped because of the wedding costs etc, can you kindley offer any advice on what is a right amount to have in the bank and if you think my income is ok for the F.L.M
Thank you (so nervous again with the whole process) :NoNo:
