hi, can anybody help me with my questions??
If I marry my partner in his country Fiji then return to the uk, do I need to earn £18.600 for him to qualify for a spouse visa or do these rules only apply to a fiance visa?!
Please help, Thankyou

You need to have an income at that level, or have cash savings to plug any shortfall in that amount.

I earn£17300 how much savings would I need??
Is this law going to stick or is there any chance of this being over turned??

[Annabella01]

Also what proof would be required to show what I earn??

You need to read the guidance. This explains the savings uplift and documents needed.

If your fiancé is in the UK lawfully and working now then his income could help.

Is it ok to earn the required amount from working two jobs? If he is an overstayer would this count against him even after the ban was lifted?

[Victoria]

What 'ban' are you referring too?  there is no 'ban'.

Yes, two jobs is fine as long as the saray requirement is met.

Sorry, I ment if he was an overstayer on his current visa ( just thinking worst case senerio 1 yr ban) would that have any affect on obtaining a spouse visa in the future? Is that figure before tax?  

[Victoria]

There is no ban for overstayers applying for spouse visas.

It is before tax.
