Re: Employment Letter for Spouse Visa

They use your base hourly rate before deductions. It is a bit unusual to see agency deductions taken from the base hourly rate. In law an agency cannot charge you for working through them hence it does look a bit strange. All their charges etc should be taken before your base rate. So that might pu...

Re: Is the £29,000 family visa threshold for one child?

Hi All, My friend advised me to submit my spouse's application before April 11, even though I only have four months of payslips instead of the required six. The goal is to meet the £18,600 threshold initially and then submit the remaining two months' payslips later. I'm uncertain about the acceptabi...

5 years Spouse to ILR Visa

Dear members,

I'm interested in understanding the consequences if one fails to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) within the stipulated 5-year qualifying period. Does this automatically result in following the 10-year route, requiring the individual to renew their visa every 2.5 years?

Re: Is the £29,000 family visa threshold for one child?

Hi secret.simon,

I intend to sponsor my spouse, and I aim to present my income. However, I am short by £400. Can I compensate for this shortfall by demonstrating savings, considering I don't have a substantial amount as previously mentioned? I'm questioning the accuracy of the formula I suggested.

Savings to Cover a £29,000 Shortfall

Dear Members, Concerning the shortfall in the £29,000 threshold, I understand that you need to demonstrate savings to meet the requirement. Here's an example: If the shortfall is £400, then £400 multiplied by 6 equals £2400. Therefore, saving £2400 over 6 months would cover the shortfall. Could you ...

We don't know yet. Nothing in the rules have changed as yet as the proposal still needs to go through the parliamentary processes.

Re: 2 year route for the family spouse visa

I appreciate your response.

If the UKVI grants a visa for my spouse, is it accurate to say that the initial visa duration is 2.5 years, and as it approaches expiry, we can seek an extension for an additional 2.5 years?
