For initial spouse visa application there is no requirement of 2 years of cohabitation evidences.couchsurfer wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 4:49 pmI am hoping to get a bit of advice in relation applying for a UK spouse Visa, hope that's ok.

The thing that’s worrying us the most is; proof of living together for 2 years. This is the case in the dates mentioned above but we lived in a friend’s apartment in Brazil so don’t have many official documents with both our names on with the address. We can ask her friend (owner of apartment) to write a letter stating that me and her both lived there for the 2 years. Is that likely to suffice? We do have a few bank statements and a joint account with our names and the address on, but that's it, plus a few internet bills.
Ah right, thanks for that. Having only just started to look at the process we both got it into our heads we needed to prove the living aspect as well. Re the marriage, our certificate is in Portuguese, done at a registry office over there. I assume its a case of translating that using an official source here in the UK?CarlH88 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 5:38 pmI think the most important part is that if you're married, there is no time limit how on long you relationship must have been nor how long you've lived together.
What I did was take the tenancy in my name and have my wife as a permitted occupant. Then on her arrival, she presented her BRP at the letting agent.
If you have the spouse visa process ongoing, she must stay in her country, Brazil.
Hope that helps a little.

Have you earned at least £18600 during the last 12 months from the aggregation of all types of jobs?couchsurfer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 11:47 amHi all,
Firstly can a temporary job be accepted as salary during the 6 month wait period? With the bulk of the payslips coming from a permanent job?
I also have a few questions about the employer letter confirming where I work, the pay, hours etc.
I have been doing a temporary job within a University since Sept 2nd and will finish on Friday 9th nov. My September payslip was a lower amount due to the way the pay deadline worked when I started, meaning my October and November pay will be more despite only working 6 weeks across these 2 months. I can’t really use the September payslip as it amounts to about £300. However the payslip in October is just over £1500 and in November it will be a similar amount, probably a little more. I will also have a November payslip from a permanent position which I will start next week. We have more than enough savings to make up the shortfall, as my salary is £18,000.
My question is how should all this be conveyed in the letter from my employer? More specifically relating to what I earn before tax, hourly rate, hours worked etc (for the temp job). I have been full time since I started, doing 36.25 hours a week, however I missed the odd day so the hours worked slightly vary on each payslip, and differ massively in September because of the payroll deadline. Would a letter stating the specific hours I worked each month be ok? Referencing the hourly rate and what I was paid ensuring it matches with the gross amount on the pay slips? Not including September given the lower pay.
I will be starting a permanent position in a different department with the same employer on Monday so I assume I would need another letter relating to this or could the information all be put in one letter explaining exactly when I became permanent and the different salary
Many Thanks for any help, would be appreciated.
You looks like neither be fitted in category A nor in category B. Also your saving is too short which should be at least £62500 and 6 months old.couchsurfer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 2:33 pmNo I haven't, I have been back in the country since August. Before then I was earning relatively small amounts in Brazil. I understood that you need 6 months of pay slips earning £18,600 if not, then savings to make up the shortfall?
My new role will be £18,000, which is about the same as what my current temporary role has been paying since September, same company but different department. We have £30,000 worth of savings, more or less half and half in BRL and GBP, which will grow by the time the 6 month period is up.
Thanks for the reply
You can combine savings above £16,000 with income to meet the requirement. With £30,000 of cash savings held for at least 6 months, you would only need to prove a salary of £13,000 per year. Keep in mind only the amount of savings held for at least 6 months can be used, any growth in the amount during the 6 month period would not be considered. I understand you are working with the same employer but wish to use 2 different jobs with them in the 6 months prior to applying. The wording in the guidance and rules is such that this would seem acceptable as they are with the same employer, but it is not clear that this would be the case is the implication of the wording is that the employment has not changed. Definitely consider other interpretations of that as I could very well be wrong, but you may be better off waiting a few extra months until you've been in the permanent position for 6 months.couchsurfer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 2:33 pmMy new role will be £18,000, which is about the same as what my current temporary role has been paying since September, same company but different department.
