Thanks Joe... sorry I know I'm being a pest, you must have heard these questions time and time again. I know you're not an ECO but you clearly know what you're talking about so any advice would be gold... because I am very confused now as to whether I will make the financial requirements!!!!! Seeing as my fiance's savings are not as important as I once thought...

Basically my income from jan-june will come from my non-repayable teacher training bursarry - which is £700 a month (i dont have any direct debits or bills to pay, so on paper it's enough to support 2 people i believe). Obviously these installments don't come with payslips though... however - it is technically still an income... Right? Could I show these with the paper work to 'replace' payslips?

I will start work full time in July 2011 earning 300 p.w after tax...so despite the above, and the fact that we will have over 10k of savings between us - would you advise for me to wait until i have 3 months of these payslips and then apply for the visa in September 2011!?

Or maybe I could fly over to him before I start my full time job in July.. get married.. and then come back and once I had 3 months worth of pay slips.. apply for the spouce visa...!!

I am terrified of the fiance/spouce visa being rejected.

i need to breathe...
