Settlement Visa for wife

Lewis12345 · Post by **Lewis12345** » Tue Oct 17, 2023 12:41 pm

Hello I’m new to the forum and sorry if this has been mentioned before tried looking but maybe easier to make a post

I want to get my wife over to the uk permanently I believe it’s for 2 years 9 months to start with so that the visa I’m going for

My situation is that I’m self employed just started as self employed as I was employed for 20 years on books had some time off work now going self employed

The question I want to ask is
I’m working for a umbrella company so my company I work for pays the umbrella company they take my tax and national insurance out then provide me with a wage slip
with there name on it
Is the umbrella company my employee?

Would the umbrella company have to provide the employment letter stating my job role salary etc or the company that provides me work ?

As long as I have a minimum of 6 months wage slips bank statements and the minimum of £18600 I could then apply ?
Thankyou

Your wife can only get ILR if she had family visa for 60 months under the 5-year route. Does that apply to her ?
And yes, the umbrella company will be your employer and you need all those documents from them if you are applying under category A

Thanks for reply
Sorry it’s a spouse visa so she can come on that for 2 years 9 month then after that u apply again for another 2 years making it a total of 5 years then after I can get the final settlement for her

So I will be applying for the spouse visa so all the same with documentation I mentioned

6 months wage slips as minimum
Bank statements
Employee letter
That’s the financial side

Also do they take a your minimum wage and subtract it from your highest to average your pay or as long as your over the £18600 on your wage slips when u apply is that not needed

I was worried if I went on holiday I would not have a income for few weeks and they would take that as my minimum payment from my highest
Thanks

Thanks also for reply
Sorry to sound stupid u said but not confused still

The lowest month remuneration will be used as the basis for calculations of meeting the financial requirements this ends up being at least earning £1550 in a month.

They basically take your lowest pay of that month I get paid weekly so would it be the lowest for a week ?

So say I went away for 2-3 weeks within that 6 month period and 3 weeks of wage slip said £0 because I was not earning or getting paid holiday pay would they use that £0 as the lowest week/month

Would it be best to work straight though without taking holiday ?
Thank you

Having done a bit of research and looking example c page 21 I feel I’m correct in what is below

I full under category A non salaried as my wage is different each week and I’m paid for the job role I carry out

So I need to be employed for minimum of 6 months so then I only need 6 months of wage slips but as paid weekly it will be 24 weeks of wage slips

They don’t go by the lowest wage slip as it’s non salaried

But instead add up each week wages then % 6 x 12 and that gives my annual salary

I can have some weeks where I earn nothing ( holiday )as long as my annual salary is above the £18600 as I’m on non salaried

Just checking this is correct
Thanks

Correct, using annualised calculations.

Thankyou for answers back guys much appreciated
This site has already been very helpful by reading many posts.

I have come across a issue now i work for agency/umbrella company they supply my wage slips so have there name on them and also my bank statements but I work for my client and the umbrella company are saying they can’t issue me a employment letter as I’m not employed by them as my work comes from someone else

But the employment letter has to come from who’s supplying my wage slips right ?
Thankyou

Correct. Your employer is the person who pays you and pays your tax to HMRC etc.
