spouse visa

[STEVENJAG]

Unreal, with todays job market they make it so hard so if the economy took a turn for the worst and my decent job was no longer my job wed be struggling to ensure her stay here, we will have savings of over 19,000 so could go down that route worst case, but if your out of employment would want to start dipping into that...it seems they dont want any one settled to feel settled, always worrying, wondering.my jobs decent but i always feel lucky to have it, suppose wed both just have to work if ever any future problems.
What are these documents they require then for the flr?

- You need to meet the same Financial Requirement as when the Fiancee Application was made. You did that already so should be OK for FLR(M)

- Yes it's tough to maintain the Financials for the continuing visa's. However, once the first FLR(M) is granted and if your wife will be working then the combined incomes will be used to meet all further requirements, so not so bad really.

- Do remember that only savings above £16k are allowable to make up any shortfall.
Based on savings of £19k you'll be allowed to use £3k
This £3k will need to be 'factored' based upon the visa period being applied. For 1st FLR thats 30 months (2.5 years)
So the £3k becomes £3k divided by 2.5 = £1200 towards any shortfall

- Cash savings cannot be combined with self-employment income
