Marriage visa and public funds..............

[momer79]

Hi all,

I found this board quite useful.

I am in process of applying 2 yr marriage visa. I living in uk on student visa.

Can anyone guide me about public funds? I am working 20 hrs and earning 650 pounds per month and my wife is getting public funds:

1. Income based Job seeker allowance
2. Disability living allowance

I need to know that should i apply for visa OR my wife stop her JSA first then i apply (she cant stop DLA) ?

Incase of stopping JSA, my earning and bank statement woud be enough to prove that i can support myself and any dependant?

Earning = 650 pounds per month
Bank statement = £3500

Can Home Office raise the issue that i dont have enough money to support my family?

I can easily live in £650 without claiming public funds.

Regards,

Hi thanxs for your reply.

I have paid for my 1 yr fees and study will finish in Jan 2009 but i might do part time if visa is granted. My visa will expire in March 2007.

Many Regards,
