Carers allowance - Spouse visa

Post by Kasim12345 » Wed Dec 18, 2019 1:43 am

Does anyone know, if applying a spouse visa and being a carer on carers allowance (which means i don't need to meet the 18,600 financial requirement) how long do I need to prove I'm on it for? Also If I'm working 15 hours to meet the adequate maintenance, how long will I need to show wage slips for?

The guidance document linked below should have answers to most of the questions that come up for this type of application. As far as I am aware, there are no minimum periods of time as long as you can supply the required supporting evidence.

With regards to evidence to prove an exemption from the financial requirement, you need to provide the following:
"a) Official documentation from the Department for Work and Pensions or Veterans Agency confirming the current entitlement and the amount currently received.
b) At least one personal bank statement in the 12 month period prior to the date of application showing payment of the amount of the benefit or allowance to which the person is currently entitled into their account."

With regards to income, you need to provide the following:
"a) A letter from the employer confirming the employment, the gross annual salary/income and the annual salary/income after income tax and National Insurance contributions have been paid, how long the employment has been held, and the type of employment (permanent, fixed-term contract or agency).
b) Payslips covering the period of 6 months prior to the date of application or such shorter period as the current employment has been held.
c) Personal bank statements covering the same period as the payslips, showing that the salary/income has been paid into an account in the name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly."

I'm just a guy on the Internet who immigrated to the UK. My opinions are based on my experience and interpretation of the immigration rules and should not be considered legal or immigration advice; your mileage may vary.
