Spouse Visa Financial Requirement combination Cat A and D

[sameeh]

Hi All,

I am on a spouse visa (my husband has ILR) and I would like to ask a very specific question about financials requirement for my visa extension which is due in 8months time in July 2018.

Question from experienced members is would there be any issue if I apply my visa extension based on my below circumstances and calculations.

I have recently started working part time and earn £8400 a year from my salaried employment.
My husband has been working with his current employer for over 2 years as part time and earns £3400 a year from his salaried employment. In addition to his part time job he used to have one other full time job which he has recently left to look after our British national baby where he was earning £20,000 from salaried employment.
We have savings of £35,000 in our joint bank account.
We do not claim any benefits.
We live in a family owned house in a very affordable circumstances.

My understanding from reading the UKBA financial requirement guideline is that I can apply by combining Category A & D (Cat A salaried employment with current employer for at least 6months and Cat D Savings over £16,000) by combining my salary (£8400 yearly) and my husband salary (£3400 yearly) and covering the shortfall with Savings (35,000) held in our joint bank account in UK for over 6 months.

Calculation:
Our combined annual earnings are 8400 + 3400 = £11,800
Shortfall is £6800
Cash Savings required to cover the shortfall is £33,000 (6800 x 2.5 = 17,000 + 16,000)
Available Saving in our joint account is £35,000

You advise would be really appreciated.

Best Regards

You said recently you start working on £8400 but if you haven't worked from 6 months then how can you add your £8400 with your partner wages of £3400 under category A.

Thanks for clarifying that. Yes if it's after 6 months then above calculation should be fine as long as rules remain same.

Hi All,

I have quick question in regards to declaring the source of funds in our savings account savings to meet the financial requirment.

Savings are held in a joint account (me and my partner) over 6 months at time to application.

Do we have to write declaration letter 1 by me and 1 by my partner OR a just 1 declaration by both of us OR just mentioning it in the application form the source of funds will be sufficient?

Prompt response would be highly appreciated.
