Help I am confused. Financial requirements

[ataq]

am a british citizen I want to apply for my wife and child to join me.


Can someone help me to understand if my finacial situation meets the requirement for an appliaction.

I have been told the have been recent updates. I know the income I need is £22400 but not sure how
multiple jobs earnings can be combined or the time required to have worked in a job.

Currently I have a job with £19000 salary. I have had this job for three months.
Before this job I did a contarct that I earned £16000.

After a few months from now the total saraly at that point would be more then £22400 earned.

Would this be ok for an application if I apply after the few months considering my current job will be less the £22400 however my total earnings
for the last 12 months has been over that £22400 amount.

I can see what you're attempting to do but I don't think it will be allowed.

If you've been in your current employment at the time of application for 6 months or more, you can apply under category A. However your earnings will need to meet the minimum requirements and be evidenced by 6 months of payslips & bank statements.

If you've been employed for less than 6 months, you can include your earnings from previous employment under category B and be evidenced by 12 months of payslips and bank statements.

At first glance it might appear you could make an application under category B. But, in both categories, your earnings at the time of application MUST meet the minimum requirements.

Under similar circumstances, a category B application might be useful for someone who in the 6 months prior to applying found their wage lower in one or more months but which taken over the year would meet the requirements. In your case, I'm afraid your employment contract and/or letter from your current employer will not show the required £22,400 salary and your application would fail.

This is my understanding of the rules.

If the current salary is over the required amount how many months payslips need to be sent, 6 moths or 12.

If two jobs are used to reach the amount does it inrease the amount of months pay slips required

You will need to be employed for 6months or more earning the required amount to qualify. If you are doing 2 jobs to do this then you will need to show 6 months payslips, contracts and employment letters from both employers to do the application.

Is the child yours? If so, that child can be granted a UK passport. You would not have to prove earnings for the child and would only have to prove 18600. You would still need to have been in your job for 6 months...

SoHopeful - thanks your reply

I want to be sure of this because someone told me if you have two jobs to make up the required amount,
you would need to have done the jobs for 12 months.

Can I get more concensus that 6 months is required only even with 2 jobs.


Regarding the question of making my child a british passport, unfortuanly I was born abroad so
I became British by descent myself which means my child cannot get a british passort while abroad.
Again please cansomeone clarify this as well

thanks

Can any one else confirm the 6 month or 12 months.

Note I have heard new changes have come increasing if 2 jobs to 12 months, is this true.
