there is no immigration rule or law states you need savings, only that you can support your wife without the need for recourse to public funds..
some people have been unemployed, living on benefits with no savings and still got a visa... of course having a job and savings would reduce the risk of her needing recourse to public funds, i think who ever told you if you didnt supply the bank statesments showing 7k your visa would be refused was out of order
thou the embassy wants to see money you can get instant access to.
have u sent any bank statements already, if so how many and were any overdrawn ??
have you anyone, family member etc who could act as a sponsor and would be willing to provide 3rd party finanical support should the need arise ?
