questions about spouse visa

[brightb23]

Hello

I earn more than 19,000 and I will be applying for my wife soon who is currently in the uk on a student visa and we are already married back home. I will be applying in September but I currently want to apply for student finance towards my own studies. I’m applying for both the fees and maintenance, will this accept my spouse application in anyway ?

If you will be meeting the financial requirement through your salaried/none-salaried employment then your other borrowings will have no affect.

You could apply under Cat B, if, you meet the requirements, see Appendix FM 1.7 (click).

I’m about to apply for my wife’s visa application. She is in the UK on a student visa.

1. I’m submitting 12 months payslips as requested. 8 payslips from my previous employer and 4 from my own limited company paying myself salary. I just discovered that the total pay within the 12 months period isn’t up to 18,600 as required, is this an issue?

2. I made a mistake on the application form with the name of my current employer ( my limited company) do i have to inform
the home office about this error?

3. Do i need to submit anything about my limited company ? i with for the option of being an employee since i pay myself.

Thanks

You can't combine your payslips from your own company. Your dividends could have been combined but only if where the company doesn't belongs to you or to your other family members. See the quote from appendix fm 1.7 as what can be combined with category B.

5.3.10. So, under Category B, the assessment of the financial requirement is based on both:
(1) The gross annual salary or income from salaried or non-salaried employment at the
date of application. This source can be combined with Category C: non-employment
income , Category D: cash savings and Category E: pension; and
(2) The actual amount of gross income received from any salaried or non-salaried
employment in the 12 months prior to the application. This can be combined with the
actual gross income received from Category C: non-employment income and
Category E: pension over the same 12-month period. Category D: cash savings
cannot be used under (2).

6.1.6. A director or employee of a limited company in the UK who receives dividend income from
the company can count this income as non-employment income under Category C,
unless the company is of a type specified in paragraph 9(a) of Appendix FM-SE (i.e. it is
in sole or limited family ownership). If it is, this non-employment income will be
considered under Category F or Category G as appropriate: see section 6.3. of this
guidance for further information.
