Spouse Visa Extension

[Vesh123]

1. My Husband asked his employer to send the employer letter and they stated as below. He is working hourly but every month hours are fixed (i.e.26 hours) and sometime get extra hours as well. His last 6 earnings are £1241 + £1174 + £1174 + £2506 (worked extra hours) + £1174 + £1965 (worked extra hours) . So based on this earning is it still salaried?

Does the payslips shows basic pay and also shows overtime separately or it shows both overtime and basic pay togeher? if both are togeher then I would suggest non salaried non formula where you add last 6 months payslips divide by 6 x 12 and use this to workout short fall for savings as explained above. Otherwise x 12 basic pay and use non salaried formula to calculate OT separately and combine both together to give you total and this will be used.

"I am writing to confirm that XXXX is currently employed in a part time fixed term appointment as an Hourly Paid Academic Support in the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at the University XXXX. He commenced employment with the University on 1 May 2022"

2. If above earning is not salaried and declare as unsalaried so would it still fall under Category A ( as working with same employer more than 6 months i.e. since May 2022)?

3. What if after sending the application, if his that job also get terminated for some reason ( while application is pending) would it effects the application and get refuse?

Provided you meet the requirement at the date of the application. There’s a court case last year about this.

4. Can we totally rely on Cash savings (not employment) then how much we my need the savings for last 6 months?

Thanks TODMATT for your reply.

1. I checked with my Hubi and his payslips shows both basic pay and overtime together so as per your last comment we believe it would be Non-salaried, is it right?

2. If we calculate the last 6 payslip and apply the formula then it would become £1241 + £1174 + £1174 + £2506 + £1174 + £1965 = 9234 /6 = 1539 *12 = £18468 ??

3. So that above income £18468 would fall under category A ( employment is more than 6 months , working since May 2022) ?

4. Rest short fall would be £18468-£18600= £132, which we can get from savings. And we need £16,330. Is it correct?

5. What documents we need if we show income and saving to support our application?

6. Regarding your below reply, does it mean it won't affect the application if lost the job? Can you share the case reference link please

Provided you meet the requirement at the date of the application. There’s a court case last year about this.

Hope to hear from you.

You don't need to register the divorce. If the process was legally done and completed in home country with you having decree absolute of the divorce.
Was this completed already and you were free to marry at the time you contracted a new marriage?

Yes, my first husband was here and we got divorced at back home (not here) and registered there, I also have the divorce certificate. I already got 2nd marriage at back home and want to bring him here. So thought I need to register the divorce here as well as he was here on dependent visa ( although I requested HO to cancelled it)?
Thanks

If you have your decree absolute, all that needs being done is to provide it when asked as you fill application.

One more thing, My husband live on one bed room property. Do we need to send the tenancy letter? In the checklist they haven't asked to upload that document?

Thanks
Vesh

[AmazonianX]

There is an aspect of the application which is on meeting adequate accommodation requirements so providing evidence to include tenancy agreement, NOC letter from landlord or agent is required.

Thanks. My husband's property agent gave the letter as below. would it be sufficinet?

To whom it may concern,

Re: Address London, UK

We confirm that Mr. xxxxx is a tenant of the above property and have a tenancy from 22/02/2014.

[AmazonianX]

Need to include that they have no objection to his wife joining him in the property as her presence will not lead to overcrowding.

Thanks for your help. Few more thing if you could help on below:

1. if we only rely on the cash savings then we need 62500K cash saving?

2. And let say my husband's account balance was 65K in April 2023 and he kept using that account for personal expenses and balance keep fluctuate between 63K and 65K till today so do we meet the saving requirement within last 6 months?

3. current account would be ok or it has to be savings?

4. Can we use online statement downloaded in PDF?

Your help would be apricated.

Hope to hear from you.

Thanks really useful the Guide.

I've wrote the below covering letter would that be ok to explain the both financial requirements?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I meet below both requirements based on saving and employments and saving alone. So it’s my request please refer to either of these.

1. I’m claiming that my husband held cash saving in his current account above £62,500 for at least 6 months prior to the date of application and under our control can count towards the financial requirement

On 28th March 2023 the starting balance is £66,259.01 and ending balance is £75,873.87 on 3rd October 2023. The minimum balance we have £63,422.79 which remains above the £62,500 for at least 6 months. For this purpose, I’ve attached mu husband’s bank statement.

2. My Husband has the Job with University of XXXXXX since May 2022 (i.e., above 6 months) and his last 6 months gross salaries from April to September 2023 are as XXXXX:

• Based on the above 6 months he has earned £8,453.64 in the same job. To calculate this annualised
average the following calculation should be used:

(£8,453.64/6) * 12 = £16907.28

Short fall is (£18,600 - £16907.28) = £1,692.72

• Above short fall can be used through saving in my husband’s bank account. The amount of savings
that can be used towards the financial requirement is as below:

£1,692.72 * 2.5 +16,000 = £20,231.8

My Husband has above £20,231.8 savings in his bank account for last 6 months which can be used to meet the financial requirement of £18,600.

For point 2 above refer to the payslips and the bank statement.

[AmazonianX]

Would suggest sticking with one and that of cash savings appears to be the convenient of either.
Simply present bank statements covering preceeding 6months, a declaration of the source of the cash savings and....voila.
Keep it simple.....and you will not even require long cover letter of explaining and calculations of shortfall in salary.
Ultimately, the choice is yours to make.

Thanks, I Understand and you are right. The thing is we want to make ourself on safe side so bit confused and your help really make our life easier.

1. So If we go for saving alone we are meeting the requirement?

2. Secondly when we go for extension and ILR do we always have to rely on saving category ( as first visa on this category) or can rely on job only?
