Mother In Law (to be) visit for wedding

[tone]

Thanks again chaps!
Are "savings" really a big deal? Apart from showing a half decent monthly income if I had £500 in the bank for a weeks trip here would that suffice?
Just that my new house purchase is killing the bank balance and I dont want to put everything on the rigid enemy (some say flexible friends)!

Cheers

You need to demonstrate that there are sufficient funds for the duration of her visit. And don't forget to say that.
To me £500 seems fine. Try to think of a way to convince the ECO that this is for the MIL's support by suggesting that the account is specifically for the MIL's visit.
Just need to do everything to help the ECO feel comfortable that's all.

Just my 2 centavos worth
