Help! Cash Saving requirement

[Happy28]

Hi All,

I got a little bit confused about the financial requirement, so I guess some people here migh help me out on this questions.

I have read the Financial requirement on UKBA, and it mentions cash savings above GBP 16,000 can be used to meet all or part of the finanical requirement.

My questions is the following:
1. if my partner has already met the gross annual income of GBP 18,600 requirement, do we still require to submit the bank statment, which shows that there are more than GBP 16,000 in saving account for 6 months ?
2. Both my and my partner's saving accounts are changing all the time. Do we have to show that we have GBP 16,000 above in the bank account/saving account for the entire 6 months or it will be okay as long as we show that we have more than GBP 16,000 in our bank accounts when we submit the application ?

Thanks in advance !

That's only the entry level amount rather than the sum necessary. You would need to add this 16K to the salary shortfall (which would have been multiplied by 2.5). All sums need to have been held for six months.

Someone with no salary would need savings of 16K + (18,6K x 2.5) = 62,5K
