6 months payslips for spouse visa, confused.

Post by Jedai Prince » Sun Feb 18, 2018 12:33 am

Hi everyone

I am going to apply for a spouse visa but I am a little confused regarding how to align my payslips from my two jobs.I am a British citizen and I have two jobs. Both my jobs are non salaried and I am paid hourly. If you look below you can see different pay dates between my two jobs as well as different pay periods.

1st job: Gross Income (6 months payslips)
Payslip date 4th September:£550 ( Pay Period Aug)
Payslip date 4th October:£1600 (Pay Period Sept)
Payslip date 4th November:£1700(Pay period Oct)
Payslip date 4th December:£1800 (Pay period Nov)
Payslip date 4th January: £1750 (Pay period Dec)
Payslip date 4th February: £1910 (Pay period Jan)
Total: £9310

2nd job: Gross Income(7 month payslips)
Payslip date 29 August:£180 ( Pay period Aug)
Payslip date 29 September:£60 (Pay period Sep)
Payslip date 29 October:£120 (Pay period Oct)
Payslip date 30 November:£200 (Pay period Nov)
Payslip date 15 December:£200 (Pay period Dec)
Payslip date:30 January:£230 (Pay period Jan)
Payslip date:28 February:£150 (Pay period Feb)
Total:£1140



Will I be ok I if I apply in the first week of March. Do I meet the 18600 maintainance requirement? I have heard that payslips cannot be more than 28 days old while making an application. If it's true, when do you think I can apply? Your opinions will be highly appreciated.

Many thanks

You already meet the requirement with your first job
I would like to advice make sure your employment letters state that you are non-salaried so the eco is aware to use the calculation for non salaried.

I would apply before 4th of March if I was you.

Thank you very much Arfinkhan128 for your reply. Your advice is duly noted.

I would also like your advice on my employer letters. My first job provided me with a employer letter stating everything including my average annual salary of £18620.

But my second employer refused to provide it saying the homeoffice will calculate it from payslip and since I’m on hourly wage they cannot provide annual average salary on the letter. Will it be fine if I apply with this letter or will HO refuse my application because of my second employer not putting annual average salary on my employer letter. Your feedback will ne highly appreciated.

I am a little worried and confused because I heard people get refused for not putting annual salaries on their employer letter. Is this true? Please advice.

Many thanks

I think employer is saying correct because you are a hourly paid worker with varying wages. It's you need to calculate the annual income by taking the average instead your employer. However, you need to explain it on appendix 2 form but better to explain again on additional info section too. If your employer doesn't contain that information then I don't think that application will be refused.

But in your case you can meet requirement from first job so better to not show second job which will increase the paper work and may cause confusion to caseworker.

Thank you seagul, but One of my friend who applied for his wife’s visa said on the application form they ask for total income. He said if you don’t provide all income details they they will refuse the application. I am confused about it.

Mdimrr, why do you think visa will be refused. Any perticular reason or do you know anyone who was refused because of employer not mentioning annual average income??

Please I request everyone to kindly advice as what I should do. I don’t want to get refused especially after gathering all docs and all the hard work plus so much money will just go waste. It’s also hard to stay apart from ones other half and I also don’t want to appeal as it’s time consuming.Your responses will be highly appreciated guys. Please advice me.

Many thanks

Mistakes made in appendix 2, part 3A financial requirement section :cry:

Post by Jedai Prince » Wed Apr 04, 2018 4:39 am

Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing good by the grace of Almighty.

I don't know what to do really . Kindly advice.

I applied for spouse visa application for my wife a month ago. I showed I met the financial requirement in appendix 2, under 3.3 category A (ticked the box).

I have 2 jobs (non salaried) . I filled the details of my first job which is my main job. I put my yearly gross income as 18700 in part 3A. I already meet the financial requirement with this job.

However, I have also mistakenly filled the entire part 3A section which also includes details for category B. I put my second job there by mistake. I only early about 2000 pounds yearly from my second job.

3.13 of part 3A says: Had your sponsor had other salaried employment in the U.K. , in the 12 months prior to the date of application?(Category B) I ticked this as yes ☹️
I then went on to fill the rest of the section with my second job details till 3.20

At that time of filling the Appendix 2 form I didn't realise I was filling the wrong part of the section. My mind was occupied with worries about the other documents. Today I simply went across my application all over again just to kill some time and realised I made mistakes in the appendix 2 😡

I think I should have provided details about my second job in the part 5 (continuation and additional information). I don't know what to call myself , feeling very low, will it cause any problems with the decision making ??

In the additional information box in part 5 I have asked ECO to look at my sponsor letter. In my sponsor letter , I clearly wrote that I meet Financial requirement with my first job already with average gross income of 18700( under category A ). And that I also had a second job from which I earned average gross annual Income of 2000 pounds and that I am including the second job to further support my wife's application. I have provided 6 latest payslips from both jobs (12 total) along with 6 bank statement showing the net wage coming into account . I have also included 2 employer letters.

Please advice as what to do? Will ECO consider it under category A ? Will it confuse the ECO or result in refusal ??

Many thanks

Stressing will not resolve the issue.

If you have explained the situation in the sponsor letter then the ECO should be able to make sense of it all.

Worst case scenario: the application will be rejected because the financial requirement is not met but should be a straight for appeal based on the information you have provided.

In my opinion you shouldn't have mentioned about the other small income job since you can easily meet the requirement through your first main job. But still you did intelligently good to mention it in additional information section and at least filled with form correctly with main income job details. Do not over stress now.

Thank you so much Walker and Seagul for your reply. I have ticked category A in the Appendix 2 Do you guys think they can refuse just because of filling up the wrong section for category B aswell. Please kindly reply. What should I do, should I update them again with a letter explaining, telling them to disregard the category B section?

I just hope the case worker who deals with my application is a fair and just human being and gives a positive decision.

Thank you so much again for your replies.

As mentioned earlier that if you have filled correctly the relevant section with category A main job then more likely there wont be issue although you mistakenly filled out the category B section as well. But you have already clarified them that mistake in additional information section which I think is more than sufficient. Still for your brain satisfaction only if you wish can send them a covering letter clarifying again that fact then its totally up to you but it wont cause any bad affect on application. good luck.

No update yet, still waiting, what about your application, when did u apply? One of my friend recently got refused only because eco was unable to contact his employer, the refusal made me shocked, I think ukvi r finding simple mistakes and refusing application just to meet Theresa Gay’s net migration target plan. Fingers crossed.

No he has only one job, he works in a restaurant, ECO tried calling his employer but his employer didn't receive their call. On his refusal letter Eco hilighted that thy tried to call to verify but couldn't reach his employer. Plus they has also put other reasons about relationship but I think the main reason is the first one.

No there would have been much more to this refusal than the phone call.

Spouse visa refused. Unbelievable! :(

Post by Jedai Prince » Sun Jun 03, 2018 7:49 am

Dear members,

My application for spouse visa is refused for ukvi's stupid document scanning staff. They refused my application by claiming I didn't provide 6 months payslips. They said I only provided 2 months payslip which is not true at all. Ukvi have become so dishonest I cannot believe such dishonest people get away playing with people's lives.

There is no other reasons provided
. Please kindly advice as what should I do? Should I appeal? Should I also make a complaint to the complaint department? What are my chances

I have clearly provided a sponsor declaration form stating that I provided 6 months payslips signed and certified by a solicitor.
