i need some advice.

My girlfriend has a passport and visitor visa to come to the united kindom, and has been told that she needs sufficient funds to live on, whilst she is here.
What i dont understand is why does she need it as she will be living with me and i will be supporting her.
Can anybody give me advice on this as i am a bit niave about this law.

You could always write a letter for her to bring with her to the UK Border Control Authorities stating your relationship to the lady, the address at which you will both be staying, that you will be at the port of entry to meet her & answer any further questions they have & that you will be responsible for all her living & travel expenses in the UK & will be returning to the port of departure with her to see her off.....That has been known to allay any fears as the onus is then on you as you could then be prosecuted if the lady was to then become a burden on the State.....
