UK Spouse Visa Financial Requirement

Post by mmehmood27 » Thu Jun 18, 2020 4:49 pm

1: My wife found a job in nhs with an annual Gross Salary of £18,500 (40h a week) permanent job contract, however upon requesting and performing well, the management was happy to change the job contract to 45h/week and thus increasing the Gross Annual Salary to £20,800.

She has started to generate the payslips with this updated contract of £20,800 annual Gross salary and also these 5 hours ( from 40h to 45h a week ) are not considered as any overtime in her payslip but infact considered as Basic Salary.

The total Gross pay stated on her payslips now is ( 20,800/12 )= £1,733.


If a person is working on a 45 hours a week permanent contract with a gross annual salary of £20,800, Does he/she meet the financial requirements for spouse visa ?

Is it fine if its 45h/week and not 40hours?

Hello

What type of visa does she have?

As long as the hours are allowed by her visa, the revenue threshold seems met to me.

Hours/pattern/contract doesn't matter whereas only gross income does. Usually a monthly income of at least £1550 fulfill the criteria.

She has an indefinite status.

However, we made our first application in 2017 whereas we received an email as case no Straightforward hence after waiting for good 8 months we decided to cancell the application.

Now this is the second application, so i was wondering if the financial requirement is met and if the first application plays any role in this one?

As per above the financial requirement can be met. The outcome of previous application won't have any affect/influence provided all key information was given correctly.

Don't let this email scare you. You may receive it again. Just let your application go to its conclusion.

Do you see any specific reason?
