Spouse Visa Application

[hoshmand]

Hi dear!

I want to apply for my Spouse visa in two months, but I have not got my P60 from last year! Do you think that would cause any problems??

thanks

It's a not a mandatory document. Whether you need to provide this entirely depends on what else you don't have.

Thanks for your quick reply!! The thing is I worked for a News Agent for about 8 months last year, and then I went abroad! I was abroad for about 10 months. I came back on July this year and started working for the same News Agent! I asked him to give me my P60 from last year he says that he has not paid my taxes to the government, therefore he cant give me a P60. So all the tax he took off me last year has gone in his own pocket. But I have all my payslips!! What should I do? If I show the last year's payslips, do you think they will check and see that my tax has not been paid??

Showing what you earned last year is useful but not as important as showing what you earn now and will continue with that on-going income into the future. Three to six months of bank statements and payslips from the period before the application is better than a P60 from last year.

However, you do need to bear in mind that what your employer is doing by withholding your tax and probably your NIC contributions is a criminal offense..on this part. Make sure you keep all your payslips to show that deductions have been made.
If the ECO makes a standard check on your employer's HMRC registration to check your employment this non-payment may well be evident...or you won't appear on the HMRC records are working there. He'll be unable to issue you with a P45 either if you leave his employment, until his tax affairs are in order.
Reading your post again, it isn't clear whether you are applying for a settlement visa for your spouse to join you, or you're intending to apply for your own ILR. Do you have British Nationality?

That's Casa. I did not see that part. This is a very serious issue. Are you even sure that the entire basis of you employment is not a charade? I think you should seek legal advice.

Thanks for your reply! Now I am scared. I am applying for my spouse to join me, I have British Nationality.

I find it truly unbelievable and I think you are a bit naive working for the same employer whom you know full well did not pay your tax and NI contributions to the appropriate authority and you still agree to return to him for work him

That is right! But I did not know this, I only found out few days ago, when I asked him to provide me with P60...
