My wife and I are applying for the settlement visa from Ecuador at the end of January. I´m the sponsor working in Ecuador and we plan to apply under Cat A combined with D (savings) since I fall short of the salary threshold. Our savings, held in our accounts for over 6 months, combined with my salary mean we can meet the income requirements
However, I have an issue with my monthly pay. I've worked for the same organization in Ecuador for almost three years. It is a charity and in the last 5 months we have had our own financial crisis due to a lack of funding. This has resulted in me not getting paid for almost three months. Things have only now started to improve and I have just received October's pay and I have been promised that November and December's will be paid this month also. I've also been guaranteed that I will be paid January's salary on time at the end of the month. All of these payments will take place on different days as money trickles in for the organization.
I'm worried how this will look in our application as there is no way to avoid that I will be receiving four seperate monthly salary payments in my bank account in January. I´m planning on asking our HR department to write a letter fully explaining the situation and confirming the dates I get paid. Also, my work have said they will be able to produce special payslips just for me that show the date that the pay was entered into my account (normally our payslips do not include a transaction date, just the month it corresponds to). I was also thinking about including 12 payslips rather than 6, just in case.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation and could recommend any other advice? Also, if my January pay isn't paid on time at the end of January, would my December payslip be accepted as the last one since it will be less than 28 days old? Thanks a lot.
