Hi. Can you guys help me cause I'm so confused. I am talking to a girl in pakistan and going to meet her soon. If all goes well we wanna get married. I was born in the UK and I have worked at the same place for the past 9yrs however my yearly wages are probably around the £13k cause I went down to part time last year. I'm thinking from April to go back to full time which will make my wages around the £18.8k mark. Now my question is this;

If I marry her abroad. What do I need to do before she can come here? Do I need to wait and show 6months of payslips and they assume what my other 6 months wages will be like or do I need to wait the full 12 months and show 6 months wages at the end of the tax year in march which will show my last 12months earnings?

Also I know you have to show bank statements. But is bank statements just to show you're earning this amount or is it to show that how much you're spending? Like what if I am spending or taking out my money every month and don't leave much in here is this an issue or do I have to get my wages and keep like 25% in my bank account every month?

Is there anything else I need to do?

All help appreciated.

Hello

Considering you didn't even meet with the girl, you are a bit in hurry here

The salary you need to show is £18600/year demonstrated by payslips and corresponding bank statements. They don't care how much you spend.

If you earn less, you can compensate by savings. Do you have any savings at the moment?

Also, where do you live? Is it a flat? a room somewhere?

Probably there might be planning for arranged marriage through parents/family members which most often happens in many south Asian countries where first family member meets each other while couples meet later.
