Cash savings requirement for ILR

Its still some way off but my wife's visa expires Sept 2019, which will make it 5 years.

On the previous application, FLR(M), I showed savings of £62,500, and it was fairly straightforward at the premium centre.

On next years SET(M) application, what are the cash savings requirements?

Lastly, as I'm born British, will my wife need to wait 1 year before applying for Citizenship or can we apply immediately following a successful ILR?

thanks

I just saw another posting from a few months ago that suggested the ILR savings requirement is £34,600, or have I misunderstood it and it remains at £62,500?

The same at each stage - £62.500

Hi Casa

The table in 7.2.4 shows that £34,600 would be the level at which cash savings would suffice? Happy to be corrected.

£34,600 - £16,000 = £18,600

Thanks for the correction. I believe you're right due to the previous requirement of £62,500 having to cover a 2.5 year period.
