Hi there
It’s my first post on here so not sure if I am posting in the correct category, so correct me if I’m wrong.
Anyway, regarding the financial requirement for spouse visa, I have a question about adequate mainatance allowance and whether I meet the requirements.
I have used this for information:
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... gov-uk.pdf
So abit of background: I (British citizen) want to sponsor my husband (Pakistani national living in Italy). We have a infant daughter who is British citizen.
I live with my parents and pay no accommodation costs towards anything eg bills/food etc.
I receive carers allowance also work part time weekends, and have £9000 savings (with proof of where they came from and held for 6m+)
So carers allowance as i understand is:
A–B≥C (calculated weekly basis)
A minus B is greater than or equal to C. Where:
A is the net income (after deduction of income tax and National Insurance contributions);
B is housing costs (i.e. what needs to be spent on accommodation); and
C is the amount of Income Support an equivalent British family of that size can receive.
• So my net income (A) is £21.05 (child benefit) + £67.25 (carers allowance) + £122.08 (weekend job) + £62.93 (£9000 savings divided by 143 weeks) = £273.31.
• Housing costs (B) is zero.
• Income support equivalent (C) is £116.80
(Personal allowance (couple over 18)) +
£17.60 (Family premium) + £37.50 (Carer premium) + £68.27 (Child personal allowance) = £240.17
To calculate income support 20/21 I used this link taken from the above adequate maintenance document :
https://www.rightsnet.org.uk/resources/ ... me_support
So, £273.31 (A) - £0 (B) is greater than £240.17.
So does that mean I meet the requirements?
Thanks!
