Under the new rules, you have to make the minimum £18,600 a year. Anything less means you need an insane amount of savings to make up the shortfall.

If you earn £18,000 per year, you will need an additional £17,500 in savings in addition to your salary for the first visa, you will need the same amount again for the second probationary visa, and £16,600 in savings in addition to your income for ILR. The calculations are based on a required £16,000 savings considered the minimum threshold on which to live, plus your income shortfall (£600 x 2.5) for the first two visas, and £16,000 + your shortfall of £600 for ILR.

It's a truly miserable situation when you're so close to the amount required. If you don't have these savings, is there any chance you can apply before 9th July?

No if you apply from 9th July onwards. Can you do overtime to enhance your income (though you have to be earning the higher amount for 6 months prior to applying)? Or as stated, can't you apply before 9th July? The visa can be post dated by 3 month, so you don't have to get married till later in the year.

If you're successful in getting another salaried job in addition to your current job, you'll need to earn the needed amount consistently for six months before you can apply. This is the same no matter whether you marry in the UK or abroad.

As well as salaried income, there are other sources of income that can also be considered though some of these require you to demonstrate that you've been in receipt of them for up to 12 months. For a full picture of how you can fund your fiancé, download and read the Statement Of Changes (starting page 39) which sets out all the funding possibilities: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/si...oi-fam-mig.pdf:

137.
At each stage, an applicant will be able to meet the financial requirement through one or more of:

• Income from employment or self-employment of the sponsor (and/or the applicant if they are in the UK with permission to work).

• State (UK or foreign) or private pension of the sponsor and/or applicant.

• Any Maternity Allowance and bereavement benefits received in the UK by the sponsor and/or applicant.

• Specified non-employment income of the sponsor and/or applicant.

• Cash savings of the sponsor and/or applicant, above £16,000, held by the sponsor and/or applicant for at least the last six months and under their control.

• Exemption from the financial requirement (income threshold), where the applicant’s sponsor is in receipt of a specified disability-related benefit or Carer’s Allowance in the UK.

Are you able to apply before July 9?

If you can apply before July 9 and are approved, you will have enough money, otherwise, you'll need more savings in the bank in order to appy.

I wanna show my wife's salary plus her fix bond savings account to reach the 18600 requirement. We are applying in October.

- Her Salary is 18000 but she has 20000+ in a fixed Rate bond Account which matures every three years. However we can close the account and get the money anytime we want (with some penalty). Can a fixed bond account be used as a cash savings account?? She receives the statement every year year for account for interest paid explanations. Is it fine?

- If I cant use the account as savings account, can I atleast use the interest earned (this year interest earned in February 2012 of 700 GBP) as income not from employment, so 18000 salary + 700 interest (income not from employment) = 18700, requirement fulfilled.

Please give your vaulable expert advice.
