what options for spouse?

[bigmarco]

Every case is different , if you are happy to pursue the application then go for it but explain in your covering letter /sponsor letter for your spouse , how your financial circumstances are ....your savings etc....with all the supporting documents....just prove to them(UKBA) that she will not claim any benefits once shes here or until she got her ILR.

good luck

I disagree with this. Every case is not different when it comes to financial requirements.We shouldn't be advising people to go for it if they quite clearly fall short on the financial requirements.
At almost £1000 for a spouse visa application you need to be pretty sure of success before submitting it.

its ok to disagree bigmarco,,,...but like what i've said every case is different!!
..if bikeinbatangas is happy to submit the application with all his supporting documents, why not???
all the guidance notes is in the website and i suppose he read it all and understand it ???

I concur..... if you don't pass the financial requirements you fail ..... END OF.
There is NO flexibility.
