salary requirements

[justchecking]

Hi, I am in a similar situation with income and very concerned about our application - planning on feb - but with approx £3000 in current account on top of income hope we'll be OK. I am planning to attach a budget that shows outgoings now and predicted budget for when my husband is with me, it won't be +£100 per week and will need to show reduced phone bills and childcare to prove that I can support him - its going to be very tight and it worries me but I have no way of getting a better salary so we'll have to go with what we've got - will let you know the outcome...(in a few months I guesss)

it's not £100 a week after you've paid everything, just your rent/mortgage and community charge, but i wouldn't use that figure anyway , its only a minimum guide

well for the next couple of months borrow a a bit of money from friends or use your credit card to help increase your savings and make it look that your out goings are small as possible ,but obviously you will have to include outgoings items that are on your bank statements

does your husband have a skill ? you could mention that and once in the UK he will seek employment and so minimise the chances even further he would need recourse to public funds

as long as you're working and have savings you should be ok, if you're budget don't look good, don't send it then !!, i never sent one , but if its good i would
