If I was in your position I would be approaching this from a different direction. I would producing a personal budget sheet for the next two years showing my expected outgoings including all household bills, food, and personal expenditure. You also need to include any necessary travel expenses (flights?), wedding costs, and visa fees which currently are at least £1200. As in my opinion this would give you a stronger case than just stating that your savings should be enough based on the income support figure (so long as your expected outgoings were less than your savings...).zibal wrote:Ok, thanks.

If the Income Support level for a couple, per week, is £93, then that's just under £5k per annum. Adding £10k per annum for rent gives £15k per annum. So, over two years that's around £30k in total.
...so, if we have more than £30k in savings, we should be ok?
(Note, we both expect to find work during those two years - this is just worst case scenario stuff.)
A budget plan is good. It shows how much your outgoings are. How do you get £1200 for visa fees?djb123 wrote:If I was in your position I would be approaching this from a different direction.

If you came here on a spouse visa you would have to pay for the the spouse visa (£515) straightaway, then within 2 years you have to pay for the Life in the UK Test (£33) and ILR (£750). Actually more like £1300....scorpiolady wrote: A budget plan is good. It shows how much your outgoings are. How do you get £1200 for visa fees?
