Your qua...

A new report about South Africa couple in BBC news had me a little worried

We had a child who now holds a British Passport and born in UK. Does that mean I the 18600 thershold still applies or £22000 for FLR? I understand the 22k is for only non uk children.

Its possible as I had similar situation like you and applied with 6 months worth of info. See my previous thread for more details

sorry to bump old topic. But would I need to prove financial requirement for FLR with 2.5 years worth of statements or 6 months like previously?

Hello

My wife is free to travel back to the UAE to see family etc.

But will this effect her visa if she travels for long periods e.g 3 weeks or effect anything when we apply for FLR? Considering she only entered uk 1 month after the visa was granted.

So my wife has been granted LTR for 2.5 years as a spouse (visa).

Do I then apply FLR (which one ?) and prove again the same things I prove in the LTR application once the 2.5 comes to an end?

Then after 5 year we can apply for ILR? Does this involves financial requirement etc ?

Myself: British citizen Wife: Japanese citizen My wife has a visa under the new spouse rules. This visa will last 2.5 years after which we will need to renew it. We also have to renew it at the 5 year point too. My question is around my financial requirements. Obviously I was able to meet them for ...

It hasnt dipped below £1550.00 threshold for the past 6 months period and my gross annually income is above 18600 per year. i also have letter from my employer to confirm my gross annual income for both jobs. how soon can i book an appointment with VFS in Abu Dhabi to submit her documents? e.g can ...

I would like to say congrats for your wife visa..I want to apply via same category A. i got two jobs and my monthly income was variable but over £1550.00 for the last 6 months. e.g Nov 2012 (£1880) and Jan 2013 (£1560) per month. Can you please explain how you did it mate ? In a random order : 1. P...

In a random order : 1. Passports (my wife had two - long story) 2. Certified copy my passport 3. Work contracts, payslip (6 months) and a letter from employer - also a letter from employer to verify payslip are legit. 4. Marriage certificate and translation 5. about 10 pics of us together and some f...

Good news my wife approved at Abu Dhabi on 21/4 , we applied on 28/3.

Like to also add I applied via Cat A with two jobs with 6 months of payslips,statements. Some people said you can't but I proved you.

Cheers anyway

p.s so we apply for FLR after this visa expires?

I'm not sure if we're allowed to link to other immigration forums, so I'll just quote what a well-regarded mod on one of them said on the issue without directly attributing: The wording can be clearer, but what the UKBA means by Category A is someone who has one job working for one employer earning...

Thank you

Any help would be appreciated.

I am applying now on Visa4uk.fco.gov.uk, At the end of the spouse form it doesn't give me an option to complete the Appendix 2 VAF 4A financial requirement online, so I just print off and complete it and submit at the embassy?

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/IDIs/chp8-annex/section-FM-1.7.pdf?view=Binary - staff guidance have a look. CAT A: With the current employer for 6 months or more CAT B: Less than 6 months with current employer or variable salary B doesn't apply to me because I h...

Yes, if you have two jobs it changes the nature of the requirement. Then the requirement is that you have earned at least £18,600 gross, over the course of the last 12 months . Show as many payslips as you need, to evidence this. Oh and I believe you must have been in at least one of the jobs for s...

Just to clarify I will be sponsor my wife soon.

I have a offer of employment contract from my work just lays out all my details : gross annual salary,when I start,annual leave,where I work and what I do etc and signed by me . Do I still need to ask for a contract of employment?? Or this the same?

My wife is a Iraqi national who residence in UAE (all her life). She had a old passport which expired in June 2012 then later recieved a new passport which she used to sit the IETLS test. The Iraqi consulate then renewed her old passport which also contains her residence (UAE) permit. And provided a...

Yes

My question is my combined jobs mean I earn £18,600+ per year. In one my jobs my employers paid me twice in December because of bank holidays. This means I will not get paid in January because I will already paid in December. Will this make a difference? Problem am not paid on fixed dates. I really ...

Thanks for you input. I have another question about the English requirement, my wife completed the IELTS general test and got 5.5 overall. Speak : 6
Listening : 5 Reading : 4.5 Writing : 5.5 - does that mean she has satisfied the language requirement?
