Hi simply_me
The 18,600 is what your boyfriend must earn each year not savings. There is lots of good advice here on the forum. I am thankful to all those who comment. Someone will point you in the direction here
Good Luck...

Hello Andy_Joana
Thanks..yes my bf cannot reach that 18600 yearly income..
again thanks

Can your boyfriend get a second job ?

As of now he has only one job

To be truthful I would give yourselves more time. Hopefully your bf can visit you in the phils a few more times and maybe look at changing his job with better pay in the mean time.
I changed my job ready for when my wife hopefully gets her visa and comes to the UK.
It will work out, just stay positive.

my bf visit me already last feb.2-29,2016
thank you so much

A man has to be willing to put in the effort necessary to bring his partner here.

£18,600 per annum (gross) salary is only just above the 'poverty line' here in the UK, so it's time for him to consider ways of increasing his income.

Daydreaming is not good enough, sorry to say.

Its oki understand,,,,and thanks for the information

have a nice day
God bless

Don't get yourself down hearted. Its better to know the truth and then put positive actions into place.
Only new here myself, but I find everyone is positive and supportive.
Talk to your bf and start making plans for your future.

I would visit my gf / wife every 12 weeks in the phils at huge costs and sacrifices. Being apart was terrible, but we've got through it. After nearly two and half years, hopefully she'll be with me for good.

Take care

thanks you...yes we are starting plans for the future,,..thats why i came acrros this website..and get some idea where should we start..ive been many website but this is the one so far has information about....my bf will come back next year the same it would be four weeks he will be here...but the end of it we will be far each other again..but anyways he is willing to sacrifice our second option but yes he could aford to buy land and build house but it would be small budget well left of his savings...he will dont have work in here ...Honestly this situation that we are facing it is realy makes me more stronger to fight what we have...So i do always think positive....God is good all the time

I sugest your bf to find another job that can support your visa application in the future. We have the same situation 2 years ago. He's worried he cant bring me in uk. He's in minimum wage. So he decided to find another job, sent his cv thru online. Fortunately he got the job. We got engaged october last year and got married january this year. Think positive @simply_me

Hi @simply_me ,

Your boyfriend can borrow money from his parents but do not take full amount in one go,do it in a period of a month. And also he can combine his salary and his saving but it must at least 6 months on account.

Go visit the uk visa website and it will tell you how can calculate savings and salary to quality.

Take care.

Good if you have parents that would lend you £62,500 (required amount if no savings used) three times to cover the Fiancée visa + 2 x FLR(M)s

My parents would have told be to bugger off and marry an English girl

You absolutely right but hopefully they have a parents would lend them money to be able to meet financial requirements.
Wish them luck.

Does your boyfriend own a house, live at home or rent?

@Mae Nic
