Joining Family of a settled person

Post by Sam davis » Mon Dec 22, 2014 9:53 pm

Hi,

I am an ILR holder and I need to process visa for my wife as 'dependent of settled person''. I understood that ,this has to show some financial proof.
My question is wther this financil proof must be for GBP bank balance or it can be in indian Ruppee in India bank?Can any one help me with an answer?

I am confused in the guidance pdf.

thanks
Sam

What financial category are you applying under? Category A is income above £18,600, which may be the most common route. There is a category for savings as well and it doesn't matter where the money is held (or in what currency), as long as it is an approved institution.

How much are the savings?

For the 18600 route you need six months payslips, for savings route you need £62,500 in savings.

Perhaps Category B might apply? Having earned £18,600 in the past 12 months and be at that annual salary now (OP this does not require you to have been with your current employer for at least 6 months like Category A).

Or you can use a combo of earnings and savings... Read the guidance. There are about 8 options for meeting the financial requirements!

Perhaps it would be easier if you detail your employments, where, when, salary etc and the amount you have in savings. Then we can advise how you can meet the requirements otherwise we get info in dribs and drabs and the thread goes on forever...

No. U need to show last 12 months payslips +bank statements ( clearly show 12 pay transactions).

Extra things which can help case worker to better understand your earnings

In a covering letter aggregate 12 months wage (job 1, 2 ,3 ) and show that u full fill £18600. (Part 1 of category B is met)

how many months with current employer let suppose 3 months and earn 1550 per month (minimum).

1550*3=£4650

4650/3 months= 1550*12 months= £18600. (Part 2 of category B is met)

Dont complicate your case by add savings things (In UK or abroad).

If your earning is 18600 or above and with current employer for 2 months. Cat B should be met part 1 and part 2. As i described in my previous post.

Hi there,

Let's say I am fully employed in Ghana Africa, and I got married to my Fiance' in Ghana.
She works full time in the UK as well but not earning up to £18,600.

I want to now join her in the UK as married couples. My gross annual income is up to £18,600 when converted.
Can i be the one to prove I meet the financial requirements or must it be her who is working in the UK?
