Both (£18360+4300= 22660) will fall under salaried person. I agree with calculation. That's good to know that I meet the MIR correct? However do youse know if the HO will accept the shift allowance? That's what I'm worried about Yes of course and I know many people who have been approved with shift...

Hey, I just wanted to double check if I meet the MIR. Currently my basic salary is £18360 however, I receive a fixed shift allowance due to the shift pattern I work. The total is £4300 a year.

Define the shift allowance. Is this a contractual payment, due to night shifts or the like? Yes it is stated in my contract/it is a part of it that every year I will get £4300 shift allowance spilt in 12 monthly payments.

EDIT: Also I'm sure someone told me that easiest way would be to apply for a visit schengun visa instead of saying we're exercising EU treaty law and then once we're both in the country apply for residency card etc? Anyone have any idea about this?

Hi! Since my last thread on here, my husband (Pakistani) has gone back to Pakistan last year. We reapplied for spouse visa however that was refused as I work in the family business etc. I've been trying to find another job that earns £18600 but no luck and since we are both young (26) we decided to ...

Ok I've read this again properly. I would guess (although I'm not one of the experts here, despite accusations to the contrary!) that he can apply once you have the 6 months payslips. So if that is say 4 months from now, he can apply in 4 months, from Pakistan. How soon would he need to leave? We a...

To CR001 - even with priority they're taking 7/8 months?! We were going to apply through priority application if he had to go back to speed things up, but if they're taking 7/8 months that sucks even more :(. A bit more information about us - we're a young couple, no kids, my husbands been here lega...

Why would it take so long for him to return , is it because you don't meet the financial requirements for the spouse visa? In some cases someone has to leave the UK and then can immediately make an application to return (although of course you need to meet the criteria for the visa) Perhaps because...

Hi, I'm hoping someone on here can give us some advice as to what to do. Here is some background information: Husband came to UK on student visa in 2011 from Pakistan, he lived with us from then as we are cousins. We started to get to know each other and our relationship grew whilst we were both stu...
