NHS payslip anxieties question

Posting this on behalf of my wife. How is this looking?

Hello all,

I’m just creating this post on behalf of my new wife. We both currently live in the uk and we’ll apply for a spouse visa. Please tell me if this seems alright:

* wife has graduate visa, passport from Taiwan and permit that expires in December

* currently live together - its mortgaged. I will provide title deed of my property, permission letter and I will also provide a mortgage statement too.

* cat b 12 month payslips and 12 month bank statements from me only. My own salary is above the 29k threshold and her salary is minimum wage. I will provide employment letters too. I have employment letters from both jobs. My current one I’ve only worked for 5 months, so a bit short of cat A threshold. Although I could wait a month and do cat A.

* proof of living together: Joint bank statement, joint council tax, joint water bill, letter from gp, letter from home office, union letter, letter from bank

* proof of genuineness: 20 photos including of both our families together, uk marriage certificate, joint railway pass, flight, train and hotel receipts.

* document how we met

* document highlighting how we met and how long we’ve been in a relationship for

* knowledge of English: masters university degree in England

* she’s from Taiwan, so no requirement for TB proof.

* will provide passport scans and her brp


I’m NHS. So basically nhs payslips have our salaries written on the top left, but this doesn’t take into account things we get paid extra for, such as night shift and weekend allowances. So my salary doesn’t match what my basic salary is written as. My wage slips vary but they’re always over the visa requirements. If I never earned any allowances, my salary will be £30600 per year. Just in December when I swapped jobs (within the nhs) one employer paid £1100 before tax and the other paid £1700 before tax as I didn’t work a full month with either of them.

Pay 12 months since May (the pensionable pay as total pay will include things like expenses and one off payments from government).

May 23 2802.50
June 23 3164.05
July 23 3018.42
Aug 23 2943.42
Sep 23 3154.21
Oct 23 3063.63
Nov 23 3105.40
Dec 23 1753.19 (old employer) + 1153.08
Jan 24 124.58 (old employer) + 2694.27
Feb 24 2553.25
Mar 24 2821.21
Apr 24 2894.44
May 24 2728.28

So these are my pay slips I intend to use as evidence that I meet the financial requirements.

As said earlier, I was thinking of waiting a month and going cat A, but we are both eager to get the ball rolling.

Please tell me your thoughts.

What you outlined appears good, you may go with Cat B if so eager or wait 1 month and go Cat A using 6months financial evidence.

Hi guys, thanks so much so far, you guys are fantastic.

Just a couple of questions regarding the application on the financial section.

> Same income continuously, above financial requirement

I selected this option. I’ll be supporting my spouse with her visa application. My salary is £30,639 (nhs)

However, often my salary is higher due to weekend allowances. Is it still the same option? For example, my pay might be £2900 before tax, then £2500 as it depends how many weekends I worked. But if I didn’t have weekend work, my pay would always be equal to 12 months of £30,639.

I also said this was my salary as per my employment letter and my contact. “What is their annual income before tax for true employment in gbp(£)?”

>optionally, I will also provide the following documents as additional evidence (p60, signed contract)

Are these required? We’ll be using my income as it’s above £29,000. I was under the impression that I just needed 6x bank statements, 6x payslips and an employment letter. Yes, it says it’s optional, but is it really saying it’s optional but you still need to send it?

I have both but the p60 only covers December- April and the contract is digitally signed.

If there is option which states Not same amount continously, above financial requirements " that seems correct to your circumstances

I also said this was my salary as per my employment letter and my contact. “What is their annual income before tax for true employment in gbp(£)?”

Don't overload application with documents that you think are beneficial, provide what is asked of you.

Thanks for the reply!

Other people stated that the non continuously option is referring more to non salaried, hourly wage jobs. Is this wrong?

Why would there be options for p60/work contract if there’d be no impact on the visa application?

Anxiety about NHS payslips just need clarity

Sorry if I come across as dumb, just posting this as my payslip looks chaotic and I’m worried HO will misinterpret it.

My employment letter states my annual salary is £30,639 (not including unsocial hour pay).

I chose a payslip from April and:

In:

Basic pay £2553.25

Saturday EN £89.32 (Saturday shift allowances)

Sunday EN £178.64 (Sunday shift allowances)

AFC absence £23.74 (annual leave allowances)

Payments:

Pensionable pay £2844.94

Taxable pay £2468.92

Non taxable pay £634.05

Total payments £3239.10 (this includes expenses such as mileage which I omitted in this post)

Net pay £2517.42.

I’m guessing HO will look at the pensionable pay or will they add my in-going’s and check my employment letter? Or will they just look at my basic pay?
