If you are earning sufficiently then use your income alone. OR You both can combine your incomes to cover the shortfall. OR If there is still shortfall then use employer letter confirming her sickness and in that case that period (unpaid sickness) will be discounted. For example if she was sick for...

Hi Guys, I wanted to ask if our spouse visa renewal could be impacted by unpaid sickness. My wife has been employeed since May, 2019 . I have been employed since November, 2016 . I want to know if we can still apply under Category A as my wife and I both typically earn well above the £1550 threshold...

Hi, I have a quick question. If my wife was to get pregnant and had to go on maternity leave, how would our joint income be assessed for the renewal? I know we need to meet £18,600. If the SMP + my income is not enough, however her salary prior to it was? Then is it possible to take the salary from ...

Yes you both can combine your incomes if both of you have worked for your employer for at least 6 months till the date of application under category A. So I can do Cat A application when combining both mine and my spouses income towards the Spouse Visa extension/renewal? Assuming both of our combin...

ideally its better to have 12 months payslip when the job is new. Where does it state this?? 12 months required if combining two different jobs if current employment is less than 6 months, as far as I understand. Thanks for the quick reply! So, if she gets a job say by August/September 2019 and has...

Hi guys,

My question is that my wife’s spouse visa is due for renewal in June 2020. She is not employed as of right now and my income is £9,000. We intend on combining our income to meet the requirement of £18,600.

Does my wife need to be in employment 12 months before renewal or 6 months?

Thanks!

Hi, So my wife's spouse visa is due for an extension of June, 2020. I am aware that prior to this that I need to meet the income requirements yet again, my dilemma is that I will by in my 3rd year of full-time University at that time and part of my course involves a compulsory exchange abroad (whic...

Hi Guys, My wife is in the UK and we've applied for a NINo for her, however the first time they asked us for documentation and we had to send it within a certain time frame and we were late and they cancelled that application. Now we've re-applied and she's been invited to an interview? 1. I just wa...

1) She needs to now go and collect her BRP, on her passport the vignette implies she only has 30 days to stay in the UK, once she collects the BRP, would that show the 2.5 years ? Yes 2) Is there anything we need to do after she collects her BRP? In regards to the immigration process? No. 3) Is the...

Hi Guys, Quick question. I currently work 2 jobs to ensure I meet the income requirement, I exceeded the £18,600 income requirement (by around like 4-5k) through working 2 jobs. I have since then started University, and don't want to work two jobs anymore. I did reduce my hours that I worked after s...

No we never got any call from UKVI. My husband called the call centre 5 times. I only got call from karachi VAC to collect passport. I didn't avail the sms service so I got email and call to collect the passport. Since your wife has already received the text she can go to the VAC and collect her pa...

She need to take her receipt and NIC vopy to visa centre. She'll be handed over a sealed courier envelope and only then she'll be able to find out if visa is granted or refused (which is why nobody knows what the decision is until she opens the envelope) Visa which is issued is only valid for 30 da...

Hi Guys, Finally after over 12 weeks on a priority application my wife receives a text from the Visa Center saying that the processed application has been received.

That's only for applications made from inside the UK.

Anyone know at all?

Hi Guys, I was recently looking over what my Lawyer had put in the Appendix 2 Form, under Part 3A, Section 3.8 - Where it asks for the Sponsors National Insurance Number (My NI number), it's blank. My Lawyer hasn't put anything in. Could this be because it wouldn't be required? We've included a cert...

2 Weeks as far as I am aware from the date biometrics are submitted.

Hi, Sorry I am on my phone so can't find much information on this. Is the Home Office increasing the minimum income requirement from £18,600? In the last link you posted it says this will impact pending applications also made prior to this change? I've submitted my application but I did so meeting t...

Hi Guys, I submitted a Spouse Visa Application for my wife on the 11th of July, (Tuesday). The Home office sent the documents back to us on the 13th of July (Thursday). Based on the timeline, and what other people have said. They usually send these documents a bit later on? Is there any particular r...

Hi Guys, My application is submitted to the Home Office in Sheffield, however I wanted to query the evidence I provided. I got engaged on the 25th of July, 2013. I left Pakistan on the 13th of August. From then, up until the 4th of April, 2017 - My wife and I communicated virtually daily. Through Wh...

Hi Guys, A quick question just out of curiosity. I've read that the TB certificate is valid for 6 months, now from the date of the test once it comes negative, if after that you do somehow get TB, what happens? Do you need to disclose this, or is this redundant then? Or what essentially happens at t...

However you will get the originals back before she gets a decision on her visa so you could send the original to her.

Oh, that's even better then.
