Spouse Visa Help Pakistan

Post by marshal8732 » Tue Jan 12, 2021 9:57 am

Hi

I'm in process of applying for a Spouse Visa for my Mrs who is currently in Pakistan.

I have a document list that I made for her visa application.

I'm looking to do the application by myself as a solicitor is charging a lot of money.

I would appreciate it if someone can guide me on which form I need to fill for her spouse visa.

Documents list:

Applicant Passport (Spouse)
Applicant parent details (spouse)
My passport (Sponsor)
Sponsor Passport with stamps to confirm traveling to Pakistan
Recent Ticket copy of traveling to Pakistan

Nikkah Certificate in English (Marriage Certificate)
Pakistani ID card for Spouse with my name as Husband
Nikkah Ceremony Photos
Nikkah Ceremony Invitation Cards
TB- X-ray for Spouse
Naric Confirmation for English requirement being met
ScreenShots of What’s App conversation from Random dates
Tenancy Agreement
House Report to confirm enough space in the house
Utility Bills and Council tax

Sponsor Documents:

Passport copy along with ILR copy
6 months’ payslip (printout)
Letter from employer to confirm the payslip is genuine
The contract for Employment (is it required ?)
Letter from employer to confirm the employment with salary details
Personal Bank statement ( Amount Corresponding with Payslips

Below is from HO on what employer letter should contain

The employer’s letter should confirm:

1. you or your partner are employed there
2. the job title or position you or your partner hold
3. how long you or your partner have worked there
4. the type of contract (for example, permanent, fixed term)
5. what you or your partner earn before tax and National Insurance
6. how long you or your partner have been paid your current salary
7. the payslips are genuine

While in apparent good order, it appears the letter needs to address the last 2 points.

For point number 6 do I need to mention annual income or monthly income in the letter?

As my monthly income has varied due to furlough.

Also my payslip does not reflect the hours or rates on it due to furlough should I put down as CAT A in salaried

Employer to State the contracted income and ref income as per current situation. Note that consideration made by HO for effect of pandemic on income.

Hi

As for the ref income due to furlough does it need to be mentioned for every month for the last 6 months on the letter.

Your employer can mention the periods which you have been furloughed and does your payslips shows furlough on it?

Yes my payslip shows furlough on it.

As my wages varies so I will be non-salaried.

Just want to confirm I will ask from employer to mention 6 months' wages and as for the annual, I will do it according to the guidance formula. 6 months wages/6 x 12 and ask the employer to mention it like this

Is that ok

If you are truly Non salaried, the amount you calculated using the formula above will be put on the application form where it ask how much do they earn because that's the amount to be used towards meeting the financial requirement.
Just because your salary varies doesn't you are Non salaried. Sometimes where someone is in a salaried employer and they carried out overtime, their income can varies. As per official guidance regarding overtime, bonus, commission and tips etc are calculating using Non salaried formula and you then added it back to your salary.

Salaried & Non salaried is defined differently in the guidance.

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... t-v5.0.pdf

"Non-salaried employment includes that paid at an hourly or other rate (and the
number and/or pattern of hours required to be worked may vary) or paid an amount
which varies according to the work undertaken.

Salaried employment includes that
paid at a minimum fixed rate (usually annual) which is usually subject to a
contractual minimum number of hours to be worked. "


Your employer should also use your income to calculate your annual salary.

As my salary is varying DO I need to ask my employer to mention the total of 6 monthly salaries on the letter prior to the application.

Does the employer need to mention individual each month salary on the letter or total of 6 months is sufficient?

As my salary would have been different if it wasn't due to furlough does the employer need to add all the last 12-month salary and mention it in the letter as the salary im receiving is not the same as when I started work prior to furlough?
