need some advice

Post by abu21 » Tue Apr 15, 2014 10:32 am

i am applying for a ILR visa for my spouse who is outside the uk in Pakistan and i have a query i need solved

i started my first job in Feburay 2014
and my second in April 2014

i have a earning of £1850

my savings are not very much i think round about £150 and if this amount is not acceptable then how much should my savings be

my pay day is the 28th of every month


i will have 5 months bank statements i can not provide the six because my wifes test expires on 15th July 2014 but i was thinking that maybe the payslips and statement i get from my 2nd job can make up for the 5 i get on my first one
and and i will also have 5 payslips from first job and 3 payslips from second job and i would like to hand in the visa form before her test expiry date
i would like to know would 5 months of bank statements and and 5 payslips be ok or would it have to be 6 ?
and if no i can not link the statements then would i have to show 12 months statements because i am doing 2 jobs

Are you sure you are applying for the correct visa? ILR - SET(M) is for a spouse who has completed their probationary period in the UK.

Then SET(M) - ILR isn't the correct application (which you were advised in Nov 2013). You should be applying for a spouse settlement visa - VAF4a. I'll move this to the right forum.
You need a minimum of 6 months payslips from both jobs and 6 months bank statements. 5 won't be acceptable. Regarding savings, these will only be considered if you have over £16,000 held in an account in your name for at least 6 months.

If your total monthly income is from both jobs, you have to wait until October 2014 to apply when you have been in your 2nd job for 6 months.

Is £1850 your monthly salary?
If not, as Casa advised - you need sufficient savings for 6 months in addition to salary.
