Im new to this forum so I dont know anyone yet but i've been reading through your posts and replies and you all seem like a nice bunch.

Background: I met Anne (a filipina) online, we fell inlove and were a couple for over 2 years, ive been to see Anne 4 times and last month we got married. Its so hard being apart as im sure you all know so we really want to get a spouse visa asap.

Ive been reading through the threads and posts for aaaaages and ive found some answers to a few of the questions i have, but theres still a couple of questions that I would love an answer to if you can help.

*Anne and myself are both 26 years old. Is age relivant when applying for a visa? I wouldn't see why not but im just wondering.
Not a problem the fact you are close in age and way over the marriage minimum age in both countries means no probs

*Ive only been living in my own house for a month or 2, is that long enough?

If its yours no probs i can see do you own or rent?

Ive heard many different answers from different sources and im confussed, such as:

You only need 3-4 months of bank statements and bills.

6 months is the best from what i know

You need to have at least £2000 in your bank account.

Not vital but recomended both to show the eco you have a reserve for the two of you. remeber a person is moving country and needs both supporting and to buy clothes and various things to help them settle. Plus heating , phone bills back home and "exotic foods" which tesco dont stock
So its very wise to have a dewcent sum as you WILL need once your mahal is here in the UK.

I really just need some clarification, sorry for the long post and many questions and thanks for your time reading through them.

Don't be sorry with out questions it be a pretty boring forum
