Thanks for your reply,..Much appreciated

I have this habit of calling her my gf as opposed to my wife -) sorry..she is my wife.
yes she is a uk citizen..english so was hoping it wouldnt take that long..was there any amount we needed to have in my account as maintenance?
i am very confused why its taking long.

It's your wife, the UK citizen who is your sponsor and while any savings you have will be taken into consideration, it's her income and savings that matter. In general, they expect her to have at least £111.45/week left over after paying rent and council tax in order to support you.
