spouse visa - Financial requirement; do i need to show all the jobs

[kumarg]

I am planning to apply for Spouse settlement visa for my wife. I have a couple of questions i quiet cannot find the answers for elsewhere. Hopefully someone can help me here.

In the last year, i have had 3 jobs. Current job - Last 3 months(Close to 18600 but not quiet but annually more than 18600), Mar 2017 to oct 2017 - salaried employment (Over 18600), oct 2017 to dec 2017 - Contracting under my own company (0 as i havent taken a salary or dividend yet, I am closing it as soon as i pay VAT and tax etc). I can meet the financial requirement with my current job plus one month from the last salaried employment. Can i leave my contracting out of the application form? If i have to put it in, what documents do i need to submit?

The letter from my landlord is 2 months old. Can i still use that?

No you can't cover the deficit in self employment income through previous salaried income. Maybe through savings possible.

I am sorry, I may not have explained it properly. This is my monthly income example -
Starting this year, a permanent job for £60000 annually.
Mar 2018 - £5000
Feb 2018 - £5000
Jan 2018 - £5000
Dec,Nov 2017 - 0 (Limited company)
Apr 2017 to Oct 2017 - £35000 (Previous salaried employment)

Question is since i do not have any salary from my limited company, do i need to put that in my application?

i would suggest you wait for 6 months in your current employment and apply for more success rate on your application. You can take opinion from other members in the forum as well.

Thanks. I have read that and my confusion stems from that. In 9.3.2 is states that,
9.3.2. For those employed as a director or other employee (or both) of a specified limited company in the UK, the relevant financial year(s) will be that covered by the Company Tax Return CT600 and corresponds to the 12-month accounting year of the company.

I do not have the CT600 because i havent filed it yet and have no paperwork for any money transfer between my personal bank account and company bank account.

According to their example, it works for me except for the 2 months inbetween where i was a company director.

5.3.11. Case studies – Category B: Less than 6 months with current employer or variable
income – person residing in the UK
Example (a)
The applicant’s partner works in the UK. She started a new job 3 months prior to the date of application and her gross annual salary is £22,000. She meets part (1) of the calculation for Category B because she is in salaried employment at the date of application and her gross annual salary at the date of application meets the financial requirement. In addition, she must have received in the 12 months prior to the application the level of income required to meet part (2) of the calculation for Category B. Before starting her new job, she worked for another company for 7 months during the last 12 months. Including her current and previous job, the total amount she has earned from employment in the last 12 months is £20,000.

The financial requirement is met under Category B because the applicant’s partner is currently in a job paying at least £18,600 a year and has earned more than £18,600 from employment in the last 12 months.

CAT B: Part 1) you are currently employed and earning £18,600
Part 2) and in the previous 12 months you have earned £18,600

CAT B is therefore met.

Provide all payslips covering past 12 months from all jobs + bank statements covering same period to show amount deposited into an account.

CAT A: not met - will be met in June 2018 if still employed at current position. Less paper work if you want to wait.

if think you still mixing up salaried and self employment income which both cannot combine. The example about category B you taken from guideline is actually belongs to employment instead self employment.
