Spouse visa application declined

Dear all members,

I have a question regarding financial requirement.

I am earning £18560 a year.

My p60 for year 2020-2021 is £19300.

Do I still need additional income to cover £40 short from my current job or my p60 for this year will cover that?

Thanks

P60 was issued in April so it won’t reflect you recent pay I believe. Are you salaried or unsalaried? Alternatively you can do overtime or probably speak to your employer to increase your income and if you have with them one year, you should consider CAT B if they are able to increase your salary to £18,600.

Actually I changed job and my current salary is £18560.

I am salaried.

I don't think they can increase my salary.

I will have to find a part time job to cover this shortage of salary

Well even if you find a new job, you either apply under Category B or wait until you have been with the new employer for 6 months to apply under category A. If you have recently changed jobs and you have been less than 6 months with your new employer, your income can only be counted under category B alternatively, you should speak to them if they can allow you to do some overtime to make it up.

Thanks.

This is a fixed term contract, wont allow me to do overtime.

I will have to find something else to cover this shortage.

Dear members and gurus,

I am currently in the process of applying for spouse visa for my wife. Let me give you my scenario:

I was employed by an agency on temporary basis from Nov 2019 until September 202hye 1. The salary paid to me was £18600 yearly.

I just joined a new company as soon as I finished my temporary assignment. The salary that I get it £18500.

As the salary is £100 short, I also have a part time job to cover this requirement for £18600.

My question is:

I just completed one month with new employers. The requirement which I read for spouse visa say that we need to provide six months payslips. As I only completed one month with both new employers, will this be a problem? I got all payslips from agency job from last two years. However as far as I know, the yearly salary should be £18600 no matter how many jobs you do.

Can someone please clear my confusion for the payslips of current job - I will be submitted two payslips for new job - one for Sep and one for Oct and intending to apply for visa in the first week of November.

Please can I get reply as soon as possible?

Dear gurus and all members,

I have submitted spouse visa application for my wife last week.

I have just checked and noticed that, in application form, I have entered post code for one of my employers incorrect. It was auto selected as my home post code, however the letter from employer states the correct postcode.

Is this an issue or shall I notify homeoffice about this?

At least your employer has provide you with employment letter so it has their correct address on it and if you are extremely worried about, you can write a cover letter if you haven't attended bio otherwise it's fine.

Hi all,

I have applied for my spouse's visa on 3rd Nov 2021. I got an email on 26th Jan that they are unable to conclude application as they require spouse's further bank statements and payslips for the agency job although those payslips don't fall within the financial year of application made.

I have provided them the same day.

Can anyone tell when is the decision likely to be made as we will be completing 3 months of application on 3rd Feb 2022.

Thanks,

Umair

Can you post the email you received?

No one can tell you with certainty when decision will be made. Note that for straightforward application can even take up to 6months or longer.

Hi all,

I have written in this forum before about applying for my wife's spouse visa. She got an email today from HO regarding her visa application is declined based on financial requirement:

Let me give you my case scenario:

I was employed by an agency on temporary basis from Nov 2019 to Sep 2021.

I applied for spouse visa on 3rd Nov 2021.

Before application, I switched my job from an agency to a permanent role & only provided one full month's payslip and one half month as I joined on 13 Sep 2021.

I also used previous job's wage slips from May 2021 to Sep 2021.

I went for my wedding in March 2021 and came back May 2021 hence continued my job.

HO asked for my previous payslips from Oct 2020 to June 2021. However as I was in Pakistan and wasn't working in UK from March to mid May 2021, I didn't provide those payslips.

The application fall under category B of financial requirement when you are with your current employer for six months or less.

However the application is refused based on below:

As your sponsor has been employed with their current employer for less than 6 months, you will need to meet the financial requirement through Category B. The Immigration Rules states that under Category B the financial requirement must be met and evidenced in two parts. Firstly, you have to evidence that your sponsor is currently employed and earning an annual salary of at least £18,600. Secondly, your sponsor has to evidence that they have earned at least £18,600 over the 12 month period prior to the date of application.
In regards to the first part you have provided one partial and one monthly wage slip for your sponsor’s employment current at X COMPANY showing they earn a gross annual salary of £18,561.96. You have also provided a monthly wage slip for your sponsor’s current employment at Y COMPANY showing that they earn a gross annual salary of £4,992.92. This means your sponsor’s total current annual gross salary is £23,561.88. I am therefore satisfied that you meet the first part of Category B.
Appendix FM Partner Refusal Version 01 17
In terms of the second part, you have failed to evidence that your sponsor has earned the required threshold over the 12 month period prior to the date of application. You have submitted weekly wage slips that cover the period 06.11.2020 – 05.03.2021 then from 04.06.2021 – 17.09.2021 from your sponsor’s previous employer, Z, which show total gross earnings of £13,751.50 in the 12 months prior to the date of application. From the evidence provided your sponsor has also earned £2,474.93 in their employment with Xl and earned £416.66 with Y. Your sponsors total gross earnings from all employment sources in the 12 months prior to the date of application is therefore £16,643.09. You have provided no further evidence that your sponsor has held any additional employment over the previous 12 months and I am therefore satisfied that you do not meet the second part of Category B.
Based on the details outlined above, I am satisfied that the required threshold has not been met in regards to the 2 parts of Category B. I therefore refuse your application under paragraph EC-P.1.1(d) of Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules. (E-ECP.3.1)

I thought the category B is fulfilled here provided all wage slips and annual salary covering £18600. Didn't know the previous employer should be 12 months.

Can anyone shed any light on this.

I am thinking to reapply next month when I will be having six months with my current employer (£18516 a year) and employer Y to cover the threshold of £18600.

Can anyone also tell if I just provide wage slips and bank statements of only current two employers and leave the agency payslips as next month I will be having six months anyway with both my current employers?

Thanks
