UK spouse visa - category b - new job probation?

Post by tillyrie » Tue Jun 17, 2014 7:30 pm

Hi, I'm about to apply for a UK spouse visa for my wife, using a form FLR(M). Just a question on the financial requirement, I've been offered a new job this week which is well above the financial requirement. I'm inclined to take it and apply under category B, however the role (like many in the financial sector) comes with a generic six month probationary period. Could this probationary be used against me in the application? It is a permanent job, and I wouldn't foresee their being any issue with me passing the probation,

Any help gratefully appreciated!

Shouldn't be a problem.

So far as you have actually earned the Financial Requirement in the last 12 months.

Thanks both.

Yes, met the financial requirement in past 12 months. My only concern is the contract says I only officially pass the job once I get past the six months probation. I know this is all semantics as I've got the job, but obviously just concerned how the border agency view such things!
