Yes your fiancee's income will be taken into account as well as yours (as long as she's working legally and not going over her allotted hours if she's on tier 4). What visa does she hold?immihelp wrote:Please could someone help us with a question. My fiancee is in the UK - when we apply for the spouse visa will they take her income into account as well as mine (the sponsor) in determining the maintenance amount?
Also... part of my income comes from my parents. They have been contributing to my income indefinitely and will continue to do so. Will ukba completely discount this and only take account of my salary from my job when calculating the maintenance amount?
Thanks so much, we're extremely grateful.
Mostly they look at her current job but they do consider job prospects (but job prospects are the weakest form of financial evidence).immihelp wrote:Hi, thanks for the information. She's on a student visa and is working 20 hours a week. Once she transfers she'll look for a full time job. Will they take into account here current 20 hour job, or will they look at her prospects for earning a full time wage?
As regards to teh maintenance amount, is it £105/week extra after rent? Should we pay food, bills etc from that £105, or should it be free and clear after all living costs... i.e. for savings?
We're intending to draw up a budget for the application. This will show that we clearly save money each month. How much should we be earning and saving to satisfy the maintenance requirement? Or is it simply about making £105 over the rent?
Thanks, we're really grateful!
