Hello everybody,

Not an expert in the matter, the following is based on my limited understanding of the matter:

After deducting housing costs such as rent/mortgage and Council Tax, the sponsor income be at least £102.75 per week for a couple ( add £57.57 per week for every dependant child included in the application). The sponsor (British citizen / settled person) can use allowances from public funds that he/she is entitled to, along with income from employment / self-employment to pass the "finance test".

For applications submitted after 06-Apr, I believe these (respective) amounts will increase to £105.95 and £62.33.

AIUI, your (i.e. - person applying for leave) income cannot be taken into account to meet the finance test, but am not sure.

Wait for others to confirm my opinion / correct me.

Thank you for your information.

My wife gets 460 pound per month, and we are living in her father's house for free untill we can find our own home, he made me an invitation letter certified by a lawyer and gave me the teenancy agreement.
What do you think about that please?

Many thanks again

From what I have read you're not supposed to work on a fiance visa, http://www.workpermit.com/uk/fiance.htm its only after you have a marriage visa that you can work.

Adilos21; what information did you take with you and how long did it take for them to give you an answer?

I am a student living in the UK for almost 7 years, my fiance and I met at Uni, and we have been together for almost 5 years. We plan to get married in the summer.
I am currently on a PWS visa which runs out Sept 2012.

Would it be easier to apply for the spouse visa in person or post the application?

Thanks
