If anybody has to ask about what the poverty line is then I would imagine they shouldn't be trying to bring someone from another country and think they can support them as well. Good luck :D

16/10/2006- Interview date- I'm nervous and my fiance is cool calm and collective. And she's the one that has to do the interview.

I don't believe the OP was asking for a definition she was looking for the table of figures.

:bonk:

According to the guides, it looks like the government doesn't think it takes very much to support people in general. 21K for a house of 3? I wouldn't discourage anyone right now, things are hard enough!

You are just plain rude. As mentioned, I was looking for a graph, and I found it thank you to the nice people here. Why reply at all if you are going to be so negative?
