Spouse/fiancee visa - my girl's financial details

[eddiek]

Hello again everyone,

I am currently watching some spouse/fiancée visa related videos on youtube, and lots of them make reference to the requirement for both the husband to be & wife to be, to submit financial details as part of the visa application.


From reading through documentation on the gov.uk website, I was under the impression that only the sponsor's (i.e. just me) finances were required to be submitted, not my girl's financial details.

Can anyone shine some light on this topic, as I am a little unclear on this point right now.

Thanks again :)

As far as I am aware---if it's for a VISIT visa--i.e--a max of 6 months--then the applicant needs to show some evidence of money to support themselves during their "holiday"---whereas for a settlement visa--spouse or fiancee--then the sponsor has to meet the financial conditions--i.e. Income/Savings.

If its for a fiancée or spouse visa, the only time her finances might be useful is if you don't met the financial requirements of £18k6 a year and you could use her\your savings to make up any shortfall

As long as you meet the FR then her savings are irrelevant but if she has any just include - it cannot cause any harm... :xxgrinning--00xx3:
