Here are some common worries about the “Financial Threshold”.

If your partner, unmarried partner, the civil partner or fiancée is applying, you need to understand Appendix FM.
Here some of the most common scenarios:
You do not fully understand what factual documents must be supplied to meet the financial requirements?
You are retired and living off saving, but cannot supply supporting evidence of saving because the saving is held in an offshore account, as the financial requirements under Appendix MF do not make sense?
You are a company director and earn over the financial threshold, but only claim dividends, and the spouse application has been refused because you did not supply proof of earnings?
