I am thinking of applying for spouse visa in a week time.
I understand that I need to fill in Part 3A of Appendix 2 for financial requirements. I have few questions and I would appreciate if you could answer my questions based on the following information:
My salary information for the last 12 months is below:
Dec-17 £2,666.67 + £1,000 bonus = £3,666.67
Jan-18 2,666.67
Feb-18 £2,666.67
Mar-18 £2,666.67
Apr-18 £2,833.34
May-18 £2,833.34
Jun-18 £2,833.34
Jul-18 £2,833.34
Aug-18 £2,833.34
Sep-18 £2,833.34
Oct-18 £3,083.33
Nov-18 £3,083.33
In summary I got paid £32,000 basic salary between December 2017 and March 2018 (in December 2017 I got paid an additional bonus of £1,000 too). From April 2018 to September 2018, I got paid £34,000 and the from October 2018 my basic salary is £37,000.
Given the above, how shall I answer the following two questions of appendix 2:
A) 3.11 What is your sponsor's annual income from this employment before tax:
whatever your current income according to your payslip and employer letter.
B) 3.20 What was the sponsor's total income (before tax) from the salaried employment in the 12 months prior to the application?
£34833
C) 3.22 If the sponsor has not been employed by the same employer for 6 months prior to the application does their total income (before tax) from salaried employment received in the 12 months prior to your application meet or exceed the financial requirement you must meet? - shall I not answer this question at all? Because I don't think I can tick either 'yes' nor 'no'
leave blank if you employer is older then 12 months
D) How many payslips shall I submit for the visa application?
for safe side put 12 along with p60
E) Shall I include the bonus of £1,000 for questions 3.11 and 3.20?
just to make the application simpler, no need as you are away ahead of £18600.
I would appreciate your kind reply.
Thanks,
Shah

My current annual salary is £37,000 but this salary only started from October 2018, wanted to double check, shall I put £37,000?
B) 3.20 What was the sponsor's total income (before tax) from the salaried employment in the 12 months prior to the application?
£34833
£34,833 includes the £1,000 bonus paid in December 2017 though (please see schedule of payment above), answer to question 'E' below says not to include bonus?
C) 3.22 If the sponsor has not been employed by the same employer for 6 months prior to the application does their total income (before tax) from salaried employment received in the 12 months prior to your application meet or exceed the financial requirement you must meet? - shall I not answer this question at all?

D) How many payslips shall I submit for the visa application?
for safe side put 12 along with p60
I can submit p60 but current P60 is for last tax year which is April 2017 - March 2018, are you saying submit this?
I can submit last 12 months payslips, but does that mean, I have to submit last 12 months bank statements too? or 6 months is OK?
E) Shall I include the bonus of £1,000 for questions 3.11 and 3.20?

If you wish then can choose category B which isn't necessarily for those who are with their employer from less than 6 months rather is also for those who voluntarily choose it. Under category B you will have to attach 12 months of payslips with corresponding bank statements. Firstly your 12 months of wages must be at least £18600 which in your case is sufficient and secondly your current annual gross wages which seems fixed and is well over £18600 can meet the second part of category B which is £37000.shah185 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 12:27 pmDear members,shah185 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 01, 2018 5:15 pmDear members,

1) Given the above is it OK to write £37,000 for question 3.11 (although the new salary of £37,000 only started from October 2018)?
2) For Question 3.20 as suggested by Wahi66 to enter £34,833 but this includes £1,000 bonus shall I exclude this £1,000 of bonus?
3) Because over the last 12 months I had 3 different salaries, I can submit last 12 months payslips – but is it OK to submit last 7 month’s bank statements? Or do I need to submit 12 months bank statements if I am submitting 12 months payslips?
p.s. to moderators - I understand it is not right to create a new post every single time but this post had already been created and thought it would be best to ask here.
Thank you
Shah
I created this post a while back - so to moderators - although this post is different than my recent one but I thought it would be best to ask here as I had already created that one. I am aware going forward I should not create a new post but to ask any questions on the existing post.
If I were you then also opt category A and provide 6 months of payslips & bank statements. And I reply questions by taking £37000 annual gross income but also use a covering letter to briefly explain that.shah185 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 1:54 pmThank you Seagul,
With my scenario above, is it possible to go for 6 months’ salary + 6 months' Bank statements route? If possible I would go with that route rather than sending 12 months’ salary + 12 months' bank statements.
If I would like to go for 6 month’s salary + 6 months' bank statements route would the answer to the questions 3.11 be £34,000 rather than £37,000 (lesser salary within the last 6 months).
And then for question 3.12 answer ‘yes’ – although really I am not earning £34,000 now but for me to be under category A I really need to answer ‘Yes’ to question 3.12.
Questions from Appendix 2 are below:
3.11 What is your sponsor’s annual income from this employment before tax?
3.12 Has your sponsor been in employment with the same employer and earning the amount, as detailed in 3.11 above, continuously for 6 months prior to the date of the application? (Category A)
Thank you
Shah
Thank you both, I really don't want to give 12 months if 6 months is good enough, if HO ask later I can provide more - no problem with that at all.Londoner007 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 8:33 amTerrible advise to send P60s and 12 months of bank statements for a CAT A.
Simply you are relying upon whatever your salary rate was in the past 6 months (before any increase) as your base figure, and then in the employers letter have them mention your increase in salary.
Include 6 months of bank statements, 6 months of payslips and employer letter.
Thank you brother for helping me from the beginning and it would be very stressful without your help.Londoner007 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 11:39 amYes, its really straightforward. You more than enough meet the requirement.
Regarding financial requirement don't worry as you sufficiently be able to fulfill it. Regarding nickname there is no issue, simply add a picture in whatsapp as a couple. Regarding return of documents then you as sponsor send a prepaid envelope so that they return documents to you at uk address.shah185 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 11:47 amThank you brother for helping me from the beginning and it would be very stressful without your help.Londoner007 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 11:39 amYes, its really straightforward.

I feel like I am ready to do my Spouse Visa online application today. Last minute few questions please:
1) In Bangladesh like many we have a nickname which is NOT part of official name (i.e. nickname is not part of passport name).
Now I addressed her mostly with her nickname in most of the WhatsApp communications. Do you think it is a good idea to write about it in the additional comment section?
2) Because it is my wife who is applying from Bangladesh, and I want all the original supporting documents to send back to my UK home address do you think I can add the following in the additional comment section of online application?
"I would appreciate if you could send back all the originals to my husband's address in London, using the prepaid envelope provided."
Thank you again.

My wife submitted her spouse visa online application yesterday, her biometrics at Sylhet office is on 23/12/2018 where she will pay the application fee ৳ 170,515.00.
She is sending all her documents today via DHL to my UK address, so I am hoping to receive them in 4 days. She has printed two copies of online application and signed one for me and one to take to her biometrics appointment.
My questions are:
1) Am I OK to send all supporting documents to Sheffield before her biometrics appointment day?
2) Even if I can, I just realised that I do not have a receipt for application payment fee for which I will have to wait until her biometrics appointment day – is the application payment receipt necessary to send to Sheffield?
3) I know I need to send IHS receipt to Sheffield – is it the world pay email confirmation?
Many thanks
Shah
