Extending Spouse Visa - proof of financial income

Hello all,

Myself and my wife will be soon applying in January for an extension for the second 2.5 years of her family of a settled person spouse visa. I understand that as this is the extension both our salaries can now be counted towards meeting the financial requirements. Currently we are both on salaries that surpass the £18600 aunnual requirement. My question is if anything happened to my job and I was made redundant etc would we still be approved to for the extension as long as her salary remains unaffected and above £18600? Or would that mean we would be declined because I as the sponsor have briefly fallen under the financial requirement while looking for a new job?

Thanks and kind regards

Why not you keep the things simplified and only show your partner's income & use her financial documents only if you will be redundant.

Thank you for the reply.

Oh I was not aware we could submit the financial requirements just based on her income if I am the sponsor? if that's the case, then worst case scenario if anything happens with my employment we would need to do that if that is acceptable. Thank you

Yes it will be fully acceptable

Hello,

myself and my wife will be applying to extend her current spouse visa in January to the next 2.5 years and I have a question about the proof of income documents. I am planning to submit six months of payslips and six bank statements as I am full-time employed and earn over £18,600.

My question is myself and my wife do not have a joint bank account but she transfers most of her salary into my account because we have a joint credit card instead ( to collect reward points) and I just pay it off with both our salaries along with all others household bills.

Would I need to show evidence of where this extra money
she transfers is coming into my account is from i.e. her payslips and bank statements also?

Or Would it be better for her to stop transferring anything for 6 months so we can use bank statements with just my salary and nothing else going in?

Thanks in advance
James

If you are meeting the financial requirement through employment then HO wont care anything other than matching the wages credit with payslip.

Great thanks for your help
