FIANCEE VISA - MY FIANCE IS FUNDED BY UK SPORT

[angelica salazar]

THIS IS AN EXTRACT FROM MY SPONSOR LETTER, WHICH EXPLAINS THE SITUATION, I WANT TO B SURE THAT WE ARE FULLY ELEGIBLE EVENTHOUGH HE RECEIVES FUNDINGS FROM UK SPORT, CHEERS!!

My pay ( £00.000 p year) comes in the form of government funding, allocated through UK Sport. I enclose my payslips and contract from UK Sport (since and until). I am not required to pay tax on this amount, and nor do I pay for any expenses accrued whilst performing my sport. The money paid directly to me is purely for living expenses while I am in the country.(not sure if is appropriate to mention this) This amount, combined with my savings, visible from my personal bank statements as well as my stocks and shares portfolio, will easily be able to support me and my future wife for the period during which she will not be able to work in the UK and further if need be. There will be no necessity for us to rely on public funds

Wow Angelica, a fit fiancé! Congratulations.

The wording looks good, but the sentence you are not sure about, I would omit that sentence.

Haha, yes the lucky guy is fit, however my doubt is if it doesnt matter where the salary he gets comes from, I mean, are public founds allocted through UK Sport, are we in the safe side with that when we stated There will be no necessity for us to rely on public funds.?

The term "Public Funds" as in "No recourse to Public Funds" is very closely defined, in para 6 of the Immigration Rules.

The money coming from UK Sport is clearly not within the definition of Public Funds.
