Spouse visa

Now in process of sorting out paperwork for spouse visa, my american husband has over £50,000 in savings to come and live here, when applying do i still need to send in my bank statements, i am on benefits and we will be living off his money till, either one of us or both of us find work?

As the sponsor you are required to send the most recent 3 months of your bank statements if you have a bank account even if your only source of income is benefits.

Is it only 3 months? The UKBA website says 6 months....

Is it only 3 months? The UKBA website says 6 months....

Not according to the information I have says 3 months and I just checked it to get this:

MAA5 What evidence of maintenance is required? For applicant's and / or sponsor's funds:

*Statements covering at least 3 months
*Are there regular transactions?
*Are the funds immediately available?

Large deposits with no evidence of normal transactions need careful examination.
The extent of the evidence required will depend on the circumstances of the case, with some applicants required to produce more detailed evidence of funds available.

Where there is doubt that the funds will be at the disposal of the applicant, the ECO may ask them for a written undertaking.

Ok great! thanks so much! totally confused on my end! but so much better so thanks for the info!!
