Amount of Money Needed for EC Clearance? from the USA...

Does anyone know how much money the Entry Clearance officer will look for one to have in their savings account? What has been your particular experience?

I am coming from the USA.

THANK YOU!

This was my experience (scroll down in the linked thread to see what I submitted). I had £4200 in checking and £60000+ in stocks/bonds, but I think only the checking-account balance was vital to the application. Recent large deposits should be explained if anomalously large. I hope it helps, and good luck - and no need to get more nervous by the day, I shouldn't think; the bar is not terribly high. AG

Wow, thank you SO much for that link. I think I have a MUCH MUCH better idea of what items I should start preparing!

Hi NbtD

I received my Entry Clearance from Los Angeles last week. I showed $3500 in my checking account plus an accommodation letter (= free place to stay until I can find my own place), and my job offer (I start my job on 8 Oct, first payday is 26 Oct).

Good luck!
