Any advice pls?

We have filled out a rough copy of the forms, under salary requirements, nothing's changed - still on 35k a year, minimum outgoings will show bank balance of £3,500 on the date of appointment in January. Not kept loads in bank each month as we've been withdrawing and spending it, trips away stuff for house, wedding...etc etc, flights for March next year. I know they don't require savings if i apply under salary, but I'm sure it will help showing £3,500, as showed 2k for spouse visa?

's good, Steven - the MAIN factor being that your salary has stayed at almost double the Minimum Income threshold for sponsors - even better, you've managed to schedule an appointment at a Public Enquiry Office (PEO) ... where you'll have an opportunity to "iron~out" *unforseen difficulties face-to-face with the authorities.

Personally, though, I don't envisage you confronting any of *those ... providing you and your wife read carefully the accompanying Guidelines when completing her Application Form for Extended Leave to Remain.

Do we need to get Citizens' Advice or a visa advisor to check these forms, or are we ok just fill 'em out best as we can, we're going in person so any issues can be dealt with on the day. Nothing's changed finances wise, we've got all wage slips, bank statements, letter from landlord and employer...our main worry is same as with fiance visa... just a bit scared it won't go our way.

Hmm ... well ... ... I'm sure the **CAB would be happy to check the completed form on your behalf if you're both less than confident about the information you've inserted. Unlike a Visa Advisory Agency, ** THEIR service is provided FREE of charge ... as, of course, is ours!

So, effectively, what I'm saying IS, rather than going to the added expense of hiring an Agency, just ask us here on the forum should you come across ANYTHING at all you're unsure of, and we will help to ensure the Application Form is filled-in correctly.
