Now that the new threshold rules have been introduced of £18600. Will the ukba still require you to have a large chunk of money left over after bills etc?. If you earn over 18600 gross in a tax year will they be satisfied by this. Also if you have children coming to uk on british passports (not sponsored) surely you could claim child benefit etc. Not for the wife who would be sponsored? Would they still require some kind of proof of disposable income etc? Earning over £18600 is one thing, but by the time i pay rent all bills, and taking care of my filipino wife and my two kids (would have british passports) there would be very little left. Also having to pay flights and wifes visa fees. What are the ukba actually after? Nothings really very clear...
