UK spouse visa savings question
Hi everyone,
Please advise on the following situation:
My wife is applying for entry clearance and we are relying on her savings only. She's had enough savings sitting in her bank for more than 6 months. However, initially it was in local currency (KZT), but a couple of months ago she opened another USD account in the same bank and converted a significant portion from the KZT account into the USD account. At no point in the last 6 months was she below needed level of savings if both accounts are considered.
Does her situation violate savings requirements for the UK spouse visa? Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.

Re: UK spouse visa savings question
Likely to make the paperwork trickier but it shouldn't be a reason for a refusal providing all the correct documentation is provided.
