Re: feeling guilty overwhelmed and sad
Yes having savings will help. As far as I know the current amount of income you need to sponsor your spouse is£18,600. This can be made up by savings but it is calculated differently. It is the shortfall x 2.5 . So say you earn £12,600 a year, which you should on a minimum wage. The shortfall is £6000.
£6000x 2.5 is£15,000 and you must have this in your account for at least 6 months.
You haven’t said if you have worked here before, your chances of getting a job all depends on your qualifications, field nd experience.
