Hi,
How much cash savings required for ILR if a partner cannot provide any income?

Your opening post made no mention of a dependent spouse AND child applying for ILR
Your previous posts suggest the the child might have been born in the UK. If the child is British, they are NOT included in the financial requirement.

Earnings minimum = £18.600 p.a
Correction to error in my previous post:
Savings = £16,000 + £18,600 = £34,600

A child is British. Only me issues ILR in June next year from FLR(M). My husband doesn’t have a job at the moment so I might be ending of to prove with my savings only in worst scenario.
I couldn’t find that information from the Gov site.
I appreciate if you could urgently advice.
Kind regards

Cash savings, as your question in your opening post was what I've based by reply.

Your post has been split from the member's topic you had tagged your question onto. It's not only unfair to the other member, but also causes confusion.
You can apply with savings alone if you meet the minimum funds required.

what exactly is your immigration track ? you keep mentioning FLRm ? there are different rules for different category of immigration track ... are you PBS tier category applicant OR spouse, (marriage ) category applicant .. the amounts are different for each category.
the original poster has very clearly enquired about
my savings only in worst scenario.
and the replies have been only about earnings per year.....there is a CASH SAVINGS only option as well.
the OP has again repeatedly asked about SAVINGS but all responses have been about EARNINGS amounts PER YEAR ....
The minimum INCOME threshold was set at £18,600 per annum for couples with no children. If the sponsoring British citizen and their foreign partner or spouse have a dependent child the INCOME threshold rises to £22,400 PA. An additional £2,400 PA is added for any subsequent child. THESES ARE INCOME EARNINGS FIGURES .....it has nothing to do with SAVINGS CATEGORY...
i have read this somewhere.....
Any Tier 2 UK visa holder wishing to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK will have to EARN upwards of £35,000 PER YEAR in order to do so from 6 April 2016.
This new amounts will subsequently affect many Tier 2 visa holders wishing to apply for ILR .The new INCOME requirement of £35,000 will not be applicable to any ILR applicants who are in occupations found on the shortage occupation list, nor will it apply to scientists and researchers in PhD level occupations.
AGAIN THAT IS EARNINGS .....
as regards SAVINGS ONLY route ...
you need 62 500 SAVINGS IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
AND YES you are correct 62 500 SAVINGS has to be shown for entry clearance
and same amount of 62 500 is also for FLR
and it is also 62 500 needs to be in savings for ILR
with these savings you do not have to mention any earnings at all.....
if you do not have that amount OF SAVINGS then you can combine some income and some savings but there are complicated rules about that (if you are self employed etc)
hope this helps

Why do you insist on confusing posts and posting about a visa category that the OP is clearly NOT on, i.e Tier 2. Please desist from doing this, it is unnecessary and causes stress and confusion for members.
Suggest please read the topics, circumstances and visa route carefully before posting advice!!

@SAMISPOUSAL You have completely misunderstood
the savings level for ILR.
It is NOT £62,500. It's
£16,000 + £18,600 = £34,600

yes .. i now realise .. financial requirement for ILR is £16,000 + £18,600 = £34,600
entry clearance and FLR both were 62 500
sorry for misunderstanding..
