Financial Requirements for Spouse Visa Application from Pak

[Annonymous]

Hi,

I am here on my ILR and work as a senior Accounts Manager for a Resturant company and my salary is £32,000 per annum.

I got married in Pakistan back in September 2012 and now I wanted to apply for my wife visa.

The question I would like to ask here is that I get paid by Cheque will this be a problem. I've got all of my 6 months bank statements with my regular salary amount paid in they are ready.

The other question I've got is that I've changed my bank from Natwest to Lloyds after using Natwest for 3 months and for the rest of the other 3 months I've got my salary paid in to the LLoyds will it be a problem.

The 3rd question here I've is that I dont have a regular amount saved up in my bank account though I've got a saving of nearly £4000 which I've saved up gradually or may be a little more than that just wanted to know will there be any requirement to keep a minimum balance of a certain amount in to your account each month to apply for your wifes visa or to the sponsor of your wife.

Many thanks and waiting for your useful replies.

Cheque is fine providing you have proof it is deposited i.e. the bank statements. I would get the employer to include on the letter, the method of payment is cheque. Though, personally s(he) should be using bank transfer now, I'm always cautious with cheques as they can and do bounce.

Savings is irrelevant providing you meet the financial threshold. Changing your bank should not be an issue providing you have the last 6 months bank statements showing the cheques being deposited.

( my 4 payslips under category A were paid into account by company via cheque and payment method is cheque on payslips and same shows on bank statements too ... while last 2 were done through bacs ( bank to bank transfer ) and payment method on payslips for them is Bacs and statements shows Bacs payment too )

is it something to worry about ?

meanwhile i also provided p60 , hmrc letter saying my tax code and all ... job contract and employer letter authenticating payslips ?
