Help on spouse visa

[coffeegirl]

Hello
I hope someone can help me as I am in a bit of a panic about my near future spouse application. I am the sponsor and we were thinking that we would be able to apply near April time 2016 however just looking through the application has made me panic about the applying time.

My situation is this that I work in a full time job and I am paid the same figure every month of £1300 every month. This is my first job and I have worked in this job for 12 months. I was under the impression that in order to meet the financial criteria - I would need to get a second job and make the difference and collect 6 months pay slips and then I would be able to apply however reading online and looking at the application form has made me panic into thinking that I will also need 12 months pay slips for my second job as well.?

In my second job, it is based on hours and I am contracted to 15 hours per week so my salary (paid every month) is £400. Both the jobs combined give me an income of over £18600 annually.

But I am now confused and panicked. Do I need to provide 12 months of job 1 and 6 months of job 2 payslips? Or 6 months job 1 and 6 months job 2? And which category??? It is making me crazy that I may have to wait a further six months. Please somebody put me at ease.

If you apply under Category A, you only need to provide 6 months slips for both jobs. The application doesn't really work for 2 jobs, so you just need to put this info in the additional information section.

The main thing is that both jobs need to be salaried, because you can't combine it with a non-salaried job.

I have a property and the deeds are with my sister and my dad. It has been empty for 3 years since we had it. I have now got a lodger in the property and he pay me some monthly income since past month. My father and sister agree for me to keep all the rental income.

I also have full time job and part time job where i am nearly earned £18600 but adding rental income will take me over the threshold by February rather than June. I will be applying under category b. What documents do I need to prove the rental income and is there a minimum time the rental must be paid into bank account?

Please help thank you

He is not a lodger if living in the property on his own, he is then a tenant.

That aside, rental income is taxable. Is the property in your name or in your dad/sister name? You have declared this income to HMRC I assume and if you have a mortgage, hopefully you have consent to let. So you would only be able to use the amount after tax/expenses, if you can use rental income.

sorry yes i meant tenant . He started living last month and pay 200. I have not declared income yet as tax returns are not until April. It's joint deeds with 3 persons. No mortage - bought outright

Sorry for so many posts, I am just trying to find solutions for applying.
I have realized that I will be applying under category B. My previous months bank slips will be £16200 +£1500 from second job started in October. Which leaves me with £900 to earn. My second job are unable to offer me any more hours and If I just stuck with them - I could be waiting until June. So as it is Christmas - I was thinking of getting a third job to cover the £900 shortfall. Can someone confirm whether I need to have held the job for minimum amount or I can apply as soon as shortfall is completed which should be in February? I will have worked for 2 months in 3rd job?

anybody?

Example d on page 27 of this document:

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... t_2015.pdf

Suggests that it would be okay for you to just do that job for a month (but might need to prove it is a permanent role). Even though this example shows 2 people working, it also shows that one person only worked 3 months in new job. So you should be able to combine salary.

I would suggest contacting an immigration advisor if possible also just to clarify, but I think this would work for you. Just make sure that the pay is either completely salaried, or completely non-salaried. You can't combine across salaried and non-salaried.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. I have read that document sooo much and I also believe the same as you. However I am not sure about what exactly is salaried income and non salaried.
My job one is a salaried pay job as in that i get the same amount every month regardless of work done. 2nd and 3rd job are non salaried and paid hourly. so can i still apply under cat b?

This is the main issue I think. I personally would class non-salaried as being paid cash in hand, or no contracted hours. Maybe you can get away with saying it is salaried and just say hours vary with overtime?

[coffeegirl]

Hello

I see - no it is not cash in hand.

I am paid through a pay slip and monthly. I have set hours however i do over hours sometimes.
3rd job is pay slips as well with money going into bank account weekly.
what do you think of that

Please keep your queries regarding spouse visa under one topic.

[coffeegirl]

Hi

I'm in between 2 accommodations at the moment between spouse visa. I have my own property but am estranged from my father. Can I use my own property without speaking to father? The deeds hold my name in the title but there is also a restriction which says something along the lines that I can't sell, lease etc without written consent of father. Would I need written consent of my father for my husband to come and stay?

[Casa]

Yes if the deeds state that this is required as it would be assumed that your father could object. You would have to submit a copy of the deeds with your application to show evidence of ownership.

Edit: Now that your threads have been merged, I can see that you were intending to include rental income in order to meet the £18,600 minimum income level. Now you appear to be saying that you will be submitting ownership of this property as evidence of adequate accommodation for you and your spouse.

[coffeegirl]

Is there a priority service or not? And does it work or not? Any experiences?

[coffeegirl]

Hello
- there appears to be some confusion over my thread and some of the posts have not been made by me.

Regardless - I have recently decided that I will provide my own home for accommodation. I wasn't aware that the title deeds are actually in my name so I will now be submitting those as well as my latest council tax bill as I intend to move into the property once husband gets here.

I was considering rental income however it hasn't been logged with anybody official therefore won't count. I will be meeting the financial criteria using 3 jobs through Category B.

What do you mean 'some of the posts have not been made by me'?

[coffeegirl]

I mean that I do not recall writing those - as such I also think someone may have hacked this account.

Which posts exactly have not been made by you?

Do you access the forum from a public computer or internet cafe?

Is your partner perhaps logging in using your username?

Change your password then if you believe you have been hacked!!

I have changed password - my partner is not in this country and does not have access to my online accounts.

[CR001]

my partner is not in this country and does not have access to my online accounts.

Yes, we are aware of that since you posted that he is apply from abroad, he clearly could have access to the internet and some spouses do share their log in accounts.
