Re: Someone help me ik confused

^^ That. It is assumed that any overtime you earned over 6 months could continue to be earned over an entire year regardless of whether you actually end up earning it. You will need to show that you meet the financial requirement again when you have to apply for an extension to the spouse visa, so i...

Re: Someone help me ik confused

Does overtime count when sponsering a spouse? Or is it only based on contracted hours? Also if I started doing 40+hrs from today would I need to wait 6 months and show 6 months worth of payslips or 12months? You can include overtime as "an annualised 6-month average for the overtime which will be a...

If you are in a job earning the equivalent of £18,600/year now, and can get a job offer earning at least £18,600 in the UK, this could also be used to meet the financial requirement. The many ways of meeting the financial requirement are detailed in the guidance document linked below. While what you...

Re: UK expat returning with Canadian wife scenario

Would UK Immigration have a problem with this plan? I don't think there's a guaranteed answer to that question. It's not really the intent of the visitor visa to be used in this manner and you might have issues with some of the eligibility requirements (you’ll leave the UK at the end of your visit,...

Re: Advice - Self Upload vs Upload Services

It's a fairly standard response they send. Just means they are still working on processing your application and it will take a bit longer to get a decision.

Re: Self-Employed Allowances (financial requirements)

This isn't the most common category used for applying for a spouse visa, so you might find the number of people knowledgeable about the specifics of this category to be quite small.

Re: Spouse Visa Extension with Cash Savings

For the extension - Cash savings would be around £38,000 and she earns about £12,500/anum. So that should be enough. (£38,000 - £16,000) / 2.5 = $8,800 £8,800 + £12,500 = £21,300 The amount of cash savings that can be applied annually plus the annual income would exceed the financial requirement (a...

To clarify a bit, it's a rolling 12 month period.
