Spouse Visa Renewal/Extension Income Requirement

Hi guys,

My question is that my wife’s spouse visa is due for renewal in June 2020. She is not employed as of right now and my income is £9,000. We intend on combining our income to meet the requirement of £18,600.

Does my wife need to be in employment 12 months before renewal or 6 months?

Thanks!

ideally its better to have 12 months payslip when the job is new.

Where does it state this?? 12 months required if combining two different jobs if current employment is less than 6 months, as far as I understand.

Thanks for the quick reply!

So, if she gets a job say by August/September 2019 and has relevant payslips from December 2018 -June 2020 this should be fine for our renewal in June 2020? Combined with my payslips at my current job (I would have been here for 3 years).

Yes you both can combine your incomes if both of you have worked for your employer for at least 6 months till the date of application under category A.

So I can do Cat A application when combining both mine and my spouses income towards the Spouse Visa extension/renewal? Assuming both of our combined income is over £18,600.

All we need is for her to be in employment for 6 months or above prior to the date of application?
