Hi,
I am in the process of applying for a spouse visa for my Egyptian wife. The Financial Requirement for her is the standard £18,600. I have been employed at my current employer since April 2015 on a salary of £28,500. Before I joined my employer (Company A) they were acquired by another company (B). The contract that I signed before starting work was for company A and did not contain any details about the acquisition.
I have recently signed a new contract for Company B and will officially be employed by them from the 1st of April 2016. I also expect my pay level to rise from the 1st of April, but it has been kept the same in the newcontract.
I intend to apply on around the 15th, just waiting for the NARIC english certificate to come through
I am wondering whether I am supposed to apply as category A and include a letter from the HR department explaining the acquisition and that this is a continuation of my employment but just under a different name. Or do I need to apply as category B?
For Category A I would need to show bank statements and payslips for 6 months as well as a letter stating my position, salary level and my continued employment + employment contract. Should I include both contracts if applying under category A or just the new one and have a letter stating that it is the new contract.
However for Category B I will have been working at Company B for Under a month and so may not have any payslips yet. Do I need to include 12 months of Pay Slips and Bank statements as well as a letter from company A + letter from company B and a copy of the employment contract? Should I get HR to write in the letter explaining the change?
I have seen this link http://www.immigrationboards.com/immigr ... 70528.html , however in their case there was no new contract and in my case my benefits and contract have changed.
Please let me know your recomendations.
Thanks
