Funds Bank Account

Post by humanist3 » Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:20 am

Hi there,

My wife (who is going to sponsor me) earns far less than the 18500 threshold. I understand that I need to have a shortfall of 50k to cover the difference.

My question is should this difference be in my bank account or her bank account? I have the funds in my account now , is that Ok?

Thanks

As long as the funds are available in a bank account which can be withdrawn immediately if needed in the UK, it should be acceptable. You need to make sure that the bank your fund is deposited is a recignised UK entity and has branches in the UK atleast.

You will need to show at least 6 months bank statements showing that the funds have been there for some time and they are true savings.

Hope this helps.
