You only need ONE person to meet the income requirement, not BOTH.

Hello everyone,

Hope someone can help me on this. My wife is applying for her ILR next month. My 6 months payslips are ready but the pay is different each months as I changed 2 companies. Here are the details of my pay.

Jan - £1800
Feb - £1960
Mar - £1860
Apr - £800
May - £2200
Jun - £1950

As you can see I was paid on £800 in April. I head that ECO takes the low amount payslip and does the calculation. If that's true then my income would be only £9600 and I would not meet the financial requirement but if the calculate my other month income then I would definitely meet the financial requirement. Can someone please let me know that my wife's visa might get reject because of this. Annual income of my wife is £10500. Thank you.

Hello

Can you share the revenue over 1 year rather than 6 months?

If you aren't working with your present employer from at least 6 months then you would have to apply under category B. For this purpose you must have earned at least £18600 during the last 12 months and must be employed on an annual income of £18600 on the date of application.

The £800 is fine if this was because of the COVID-19. Such as furloughed etc, There is a new update on the home office site. This will be disregarded and counts as 100%.

So your 6 months payslips is fine under category A.
