Simple solution. Ring around about 6 Immigration advisors. Since July the 9th they will have processed many spouse / fiancee visa applications. Some are guarded but some are not and give away free information in small quantities. Some of you just want to know how you stand with the bonus element of the new regulations. It will cost you nothing to ask. Lead them to believe that you are interested in their services. Once you have gained their confidence they tend to be more forthcoming.
Imply that you would like to use their services but fear that you may fall foul of the regulations on minimum income. See what they say.
