My wife is currently living and working in the UK legally using a post-study work visa. On Aug 9th she will be applying to switch to a spouse visa. She has been her current job since Feb 10, does this count as 6 months? Or is this 1 day off? To meet the financial requirement: Are we eligible to submit her work salary under category A or do we need to use category B?
We would not be able to account for the previous 12 months, so category B would not be viable for us, right?
Her salary is just under the financial requirement and I am not currently employed, but I have £63k in savings held for the past 6 months, so can make the financial requirement with that alone.
Would you recommend we include her salary anyway? If we use a combination of category A and savings, and they find it not be '6 months' worth, would they discount the savings as well or just discount the salary portion?
What is the safer option to apply under category A with combined savings, or apply under category D as savings alone?
Thanks for any advice
