Right, I am sure you have already done a lot of homework and made a really good application for Visa.
There is no definitive answer, but if you earn £ 100.95 plus your rent plus council tax, then you are near to meeting maintenance requirement of spouse visa. Not having a job is in itself not a bar to visa, but it does bring lot of things into play. eg you have enought money saved up to sustain yourslef, how likely is that your spouse will find employment upon arrival in UK. Basically the establishment of the fact the you two can support yourself without relying on public funds.
You have filed your application, so the best way would be to pray and wait for the outcome. You have done all you could, and there is no point just getting nervous. Good Luck

Thank-you, sweetie. That was helpful to hear. It's in Chicago now and they sent my husband an e.mail saying it will take up to 15 days to be processed. Whether that is 15 working days or 15 days including weekends I don't know. I'm guessing 15 working days. In that case we have 14 days left. I'm sure the logest 14 days of my life!!!

My husband went for his Biometric Scan in Nashville on Friday. They did not take the huge file of information the lawyer and I collected and sent to my husband, so we have to figure out how to get it to Chicago (shouldn't be hard to figure out). I know that my income isn't huge, but the lawyer keeps saying it's "above benefits level" so should pass the requirements. It's the one thing that worries me the most. If this doesn't go through it will be beyond heart breaking. They lawyer wrote a 5 page cover note that went into great detail, but a lot of it was lawyer mumbo jumbo that I don't completely understand, but I'm assuming he knew what he was doing and knows what they like to hear?

Ugh, just looking for someone out there that either knows the process of Spouse Visa applications through and through, or some people who have been there and aren't RICH, so had to show they could afford to carry their spouse until they get a job without the need of benefits. Which I can. When the file of information reaches the desired place everything will start to snowball, so I'm getting antsy. I want the desired outcome for us so that life can stop being on hold and really begin. Can anyone spare some time to settle my nerves?

Many thanks xx
