My wife has a current job.
She has received the same amount every month and we have payslips for them
She received February payslip.
But as of this month, March she has had to reduce her employment and work part time due to health but hopefully will be back to full time employment in a few months.
So her monthly pay will off course be reduced. Her employer tells her that they will not write her a new contract as the old one is still valid even though her hours and pay will be reduced.
We do not know what to now write on the salary section for her as the payslip won't come till near end of March. To be honest do not even yet know how much she will be paid.
Sadly to make matters worse we have peo in less then two weeks and visa will expire 5th April
I can only think an option would be having her department manager writing a letter with stamp and seal explaining the issue, hopefully he/she can do that and UKBA will be okay with just that. Or do I use the last payslip amount.
Or do we ignore her pay and say she stopped working and just say I only work (this I am not comfortable with as I do not earn much and do not have much left over after bills etc.)
Any senoir moderators please kindly advice.
I know it is bad timing but sadly these things happen in life sometimes

Thank you.

What is your wife's current VISA category? Why are you concerned about the change in the salary?

Thank you for reply push.
My wife is on spouse visa and we will apply for SET(M)
I am concerned about the salary change as in March when we apply it will be less then her last payslips. I have no problem writing this less amount on the form but I will have no payslip to back it up (as that will come in after the peo appointment) and probably no employer letter stating the reduced work hours.
I just don't know what figure to put in question 8.3 (what is your pay after each month... )
Do I go by the regular payslips up to February (full-time amount) or do I go by the temporary March figure (part-time amount) for which we will have no payslips and documents.
In a couple months hopefully she will be better and back to full-time work and full pay.
I am worried to use the regular payslips figure up to end of February as it will not be the same salary in end of March and for a few more months and so the UKBA might consider it lying.

I am sorry for confusing post as I myself am confused on how to deal with this issue.

Thank you

Since your wife is on a spouse visa, it wouldnt matter much how much she earns ...so I guess you can relax on the payslip part ...

Thank you sunil for reply

but I am not sure what you mean by this as I think there is still a maintenance requirement in the SET(M) visa and with my earnings after expenditure being low we would prefer to include a salary for her in the form.
Any advice on weather to use the temporary salary without any payslips or regular one with payslip would be most appreciated.

Again thank you.

Please kindly any advice from senior members on what to do.
Thank you.

my understanding is you dont need to show the source for the maintenance of funds.. all they need is the bank statement showing amount specified for 90 days..


as far as earning is concerned I dont think you need to worry about march salary ( personal opinion) since you dont have any records( payslips) for the same.
