Financial Requirement Spouse visa 2019

Post by carolsre » Mon Jan 28, 2019 8:57 pm

Hi There,
I'll be aplying for a spouse visa soon but I have a doubt about the financial requirement, if someone had a similar experience or any ideas about it and could share I'd be very grateful.

My husband is working since august/2018 for a building company, he worked until november/2018 and came to Brazil to stay 2 months with me. He took this 2 months as unpaid holidays, and now he is back in England and is working for the same employer.
The plan is that he will work more 2 months and we will apply the visa, so he would have 6 months with the same employer (august - september- october-november/2018 plus february-march/2019).

My fear is that they will look just 6 months prior - which includes december and january that he hasn't work due to his vacations, and the financial requirement will be under 18.600 pounds.

Does anyone know if this holiday will be a problem? Or they will count just the 6 months that he has been working?

Thanks in Advance!

Your husband will have to submit 6 months of concurrent payslips + the corresponding bank statements showing earnings for this period of £9,300 (£18,600 p.a pro rata).

With the 2 month gap he will fail to meet the minimum annual income level.

thanks for the quick reply!

So if we want to be consider under category A, no other way but wait more 6 months right? :cry:

Me again :oops:

I have been told by an advisor that as long as he meet the minimum requirement we should be ok with this gap, for example if the payment for 8 months is 2000 + 2000 + 2000 + 1750+ 0 +0+2800 + 2800 =13350/8= 1668.75 * 12 = 20025.00 annual gross (he is on a non salaried employment - hourly rates).

Is someone in a similar situation please? Any advice will be very appreciated. I just ask one question for this adviser but can't afford now a full representation!

You pretty lucky because you still can meet the financial requirement through category A non-salaried person as indicated below:

Total of last 6 months wages/6*12=

2000+1750+0+0+2800+2800= 9350/6*12= £18700

Thank you for the quick reply!

And another question, you know if it will be a problem if part of this income is from another job? He works as a roofer for a company as a subcontracter but he does by himself some extra jobs on the weekends sometimes, making some extra money. He invoice his costumers and pay the taxes, also deposit the money on the bank, everything can be checked. This extra money would count as part of his income too? Thank you!

In my opinion to keep the case straight don't use his income from subcontracting rather use a good covering letter to explain the above calculations via category A non-salaried person route. Also make sure to attach 6 months of payslips even 2 blank ones with corresponding bank statements and the employer letter.
