For the below question I answered "No" and explained she was living with her parents whilst her visa application was being considered for the period between April 2017 and August 2017. Is this the correct answer? Or the question refers only to the time since she moved to the UK with me as partner? ...
Is this means I wait for 6 months? Or another full financial year? You have to meet the financial requirement somehow. Based on what you have posted, your self-employment income plus property income will likely get you close. If your cash savings have increased since the last application, you might...
The immigration rules don't specifically state that overtime must be addressed separately in relation to the employer letter, it only references salary (or non-salaried employment by virtue of paragraph 18 of Appendix FM-SE). That said, hoping HO will figure something out on their own is a dangerous...
1. The spouse visa extension [FLR(M)] application is completed online. https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/family-routes 2. When you complete the online application, it will provide the required declaration forms for you to fill out and upload with you supporting documents. There isn't ...
A) For self-employment, the required documentation is to cover the last full financial year (which sounds like it should be 17/08/2018 to 31/08/2019). Anything outside that period doesn't really matter expect to prove ongoing self-employment income, which is also a requirement. It appears your appli...
Can he send the letter to me electronically or does it have to be hard copy? My concern is whether the Home office wants to see his original signature or a scanned version of the letter would suffice? Since all documents for an extension are scanned and uploaded online anyway, it doesn't matter if ...
They are only interested in your income to confirm it meets the financial requirement. Your other financial circumstances and what you spend money on are irrelevant to the visa and won't be considered.
1. My salary is 14k per year. My base pay is 1,116 per month. Past 6 months I've been doing overtime and these are my pay slips: August: 1700 September: 2400 October: 1560 November: 1710 December: 1820 January: 1559 Any earnings after 1,116 are purely from overtime. Do I qualify to sponsor my spous...
Only due to the fact that while I am in probation I only get paid for what I work. Is there any way I could go down that route? I suppose you could try, and I would certainly be interested in the outcome. Appendix FM-SE of the immigration rules states "Non-salaried employment includes that paid at ...
I have asked them to supply a fixed payslip but then I assume I would still need a letter from them to explain why my bank statement shows a much smaller amount paid in for that month.. Probably best this is mentioned in the letter so it's clear. The financial requirement is based on gross income r...
Will it really cost us £1523 just to tie the knot here, in the next 6 months? Yes. Following this do I then have to pay for a full spousal visa cost? I had previously assumed (incorrectly it seems) that there would be a minor fee to 'convert' this to a spousal (married) visa? Unfortunately there is...
This appears on the front page. "Visa4UK is now closed to new applications for customers from all countries except Cuba, Iran, Palestinian Occupied Territories and Sudan for certain case types." Try this one for a spouse visa from outside the UK: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/apply-visa-t...
If I add the lowest wage it totals £17110.20 for 12 months and this is below the requirement. Does this mean I cannot apply under this rule? It would seem unfair that for being off 3 days my whole application would be affected and this is really stressing me out. Yes, unfortunately, per the guidanc...
Just in case there is an issue with obtaining a letter from former employer with all the overtime details and pay rise, what would be the best way to address these points within the application? If you can't get a previous employer to do a letter, including the details in a cover letter you write y...
Overtime is considered separate from your base salary and is calculated as an annualised average of the last 6 months that is added to the gross annual salary. See page 31 of the guidance document linked below for details. Category A vs. B is based on length of time with current employer rather than...
1. We're meeting the financial requirements through cash savings. The problem is that it's an online bank and there's no regular correspondance or statements. I can request statements to be sent and I have been doing over the past few months, however these seem to be a cover letter statement detail...
I also was able to access the UKVCAS site and had the options to add/edit document well after my biometric appointment when I applied for an extension, so this seems normal. You will not receive any notifications that your application has been received or is being process; likely no contact until yo...
It shouldn't be an issue and I think the Home Office would be expected to make reasonable accommodations in accordance with applicable legislation. Might be worth mentioning in the application so they're aware, not everyone is interviewed though.
Will be renting from the Mom, won't tenancy agreement suffice? And NOC letter? I imagine it would, they're different versions of the same information really. Just giving the option of a letter in case the rental was a rather informal arrangement with no tenancy agreement produced or the premises we...
If you were receiving Carer's Allowance, you could qualify under the adequate maintenance route rather than having to meet the £18,600 financial requirement. Can't help you much with the criteria for the benefit unfortunately. Additional details in the guidance document linked below: https://assets....
Hi, got a few more questions. Would really appreciate some advice. 1. My sponsor has ILR and holds a Sri Lanka passport. Do I need to provide a copy of every page on her passport or just pages with visas or entry/ exit stamps? 2. Do I have to provide copy of every page on my passport? Or just the p...
What documents would I need to provide to the ECO ? Something to prove ownership of the property (like a copy of the property deed or letter/statement from the bank regarding mortgage arrangements) and a letter from the owner giving permission for both you and your wife to live there should be suff...
Does anyone know how long the new BRP takes to come through after having the extension granted? Congratulations. If I recall correctly from what was on the decision letter when I got it, the BRP is usually received a week or two after the decision is made and it is sent by courier. If she is not th...
I wanted to find out, do I need a housing report(Inspection Report) to show that show that there is enough space etc, as we have also had a child . You will have to show that there is adequate accommodation for you, your wife and any dependents for your exclusive use and also that the house will no...
Can we combine mine £11600 and her £13000 to fulfil the financial requirements? Yes, provided both incomes fall within the same financial year, which for self-employment they generally should. From the same link as above: "9.3.7. Where a couple are using their joint income to meet the financial req...
