Applying for Spouse Visa - Please advise

[Bucki]

Hi All

I will be applying for SPOUSE VISA by the beginning of October 2015, and need help.
After reading a lot of information provided on this forum; here is my conclusion:

Requirements:

- a secure Job
I started in middle of March with 18 Month contract then received permanent contract after 5months.
Therefore, I will provide both contracts!

- £18.600 (TAX included) per year
I am currently on £20.000 + Benefits per year (round to £24K per year - Tax included)

- Payslip for last 6 month
unfortunately, all my payslips are online and will have to print them on a paper.
Will also ask to print them on headed paper with stamp from HR << if this is required??

- House-Accommodation
Unfortunately, I do not have my own place but live a shared accommodation!
However, I also got my own double-bed room at my parents house. The house is rented by them and they are on Incapacity Benefit << hope that does not play a role ??

I will provide a letter from the housing association stating there is enough space for my wife to move in.
I also will provide a letter from my parents having no objections for her to move in.

question: will I have to provide any figures to "how much rent I am paying?"
obviously, as they are my parents ... I am not paying a monthly bill, if this makes sense!

- Proof that we have meet or married
Yep, we been together since almost 2 years and got engaged and just recently married too.
However, I have dual citizenship and got married back home with my homeland passport (not with UK pass). We got the marriage certificate which is in English language also.

Therefore, I will provide pictures (facebook link to our profile)


- Saving ?!
Saving over £11K but I guess my monthly income shows the 18.600+ figure so, I dont think the saving is relevant?


------------------------------------------

When it comes to Visa Online Application, I will fill it out with her details and myself as the spouse / sponsor! Hope, I will not have to hire a solicitor to do this, as it costs me over £800 for the application!

Guess the application itself is straight forward... right?


QUESTION(S)

- Is there anything I am missing as part of the application?
- could I start the application this week and have the date (appointment) set for next month, because I am still waiting for my last payslip by the end of this month ?!


Thank You for your Support

I am not completely au fait with spouse applications, so I will respond to only two specific points.

Saving ?!Saving over £11K but I guess my monthly income shows the 18.600+ figure so, I dont think the saving is relevant?

They don't even count. Only savings of more than £16,000 are taken into consideration.

- Payslip for last 6 month
unfortunately, all my payslips are online and will have to print them on a paper.

Getting them stamped and signed by a person from HR will almost certainly be required.

- House-Accommodation
Unfortunately, I do not have my own place but live a shared accommodation!
However, I also got my own double-bed room at my parents house. The house is rented by them and they are on Incapacity Benefit << hope that does not play a role ??

I presume that your parents live in the housing association property mentioned. It is not clear from the context, so I am clarifying.

Indeed, the property belongs to a housing association and they rent it (on benefit due to illness).
the house has 2 double-bed + 1 single bed. Enough room for me to move in actually.

Just not 100% sure if this is still ok, from a point of legal and requirements?
Been told that the online application will ask "how much monthly rent do you pay" hmmm !!

What about the other points I raised, are they fine ?
Also, can I start the online application this month and set the appointment for next month?!

Oh by the way, my wife passt the UK VISA test in March 2014
apparently there is a new Test after 6April 2015 and the previous Test is valid till 5th Nov 2015

ps: yes, I thought so; I will get them stamped and signed by HR

apart from the online application?
any other forms required ?

thanks
