How much money is expected in your bank account?

When you apply for a spouse visa and they ask for your bank statements, how much is suffient to them? from you and your spouse? What if one of your accounts is into the over draft? will they deny you because of that? Any info on this would be greatly appreciated, please leave a comment...cheers

The overdraft doesn't matter, nor does the balance. What they are looking for is a regular income that matches your salary slips. You need to show that you are earning above the income support level (the income level at which most benefits become payable). To prove this you should have at least £105 per week left over after rent/mortgage, council tax and utilities and £56 per child.
