Income threshold as brother is director of the company I work for

[shakeelhussain]

To all forum members
Good evening
I am a British citizen currently preparing to apply for a spouse visa for my wife, who is from Asia. I am employed full-time by ABC Pvt Limited, a UK-based company, where I have been working for the past two years. My brother is the director of this company.

For the last six months, I have been employed full-time, earning a gross monthly salary of £2,500. I believe I meet the financial requirement under Category A for my wife's spouse visa application. However, I would appreciate clarification on a few points regarding the financial assessment.

The company’s tax year runs from 1 November to 31 October, and the most recent accounting period was from 1 November 2022 to 31 October 2023. During that period, my gross salary was £1,500 per month. As the company is owned by my brother, I am concerned whether it would be classified as a "specified company" under immigration rules, and whether I can still use my last six months' income to meet the financial requirement.

To summarise, I am seeking advice on the following:

Can I use my income from the last six months (where I earned £2,500 per month) to meet the financial requirement under Category A, even though my salary in the previous financial year was lower (£1,500 per month)?
Given that my brother is the director of the company, does this classify ABC Pvt Limited as a "specified company," and how might this affect my application?
I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to proceed with my spouse visa application under these circumstances.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Kind regards,

Be aware that not many people here would have had your experience and that the moderators and Respected Gurus aren't lawyers, so would be unlikely to help.

Your experience, of being sponsored by a sibling, is quite niche. You may have to wait for a while for a response.
