HSMP Forex rates / Spouse

[talktome]

hi , a newbie here
I had two queries on my HSMP application
1. salary structure drawn in your home country, how are the forex rates calculated eg do the home office take a 1yr average
The reason I ask is coz i am very near the limit and if the GBP appreciates I may not qualify for the same.

2. I am not married now but If I do so , after 6 mths , would my spouse be eligible for a WP. Assuming I have been successful in my application.

Thanks

1) Yes you can use average FX rates based on the rates in effect during the months you earned the income. Just show them how you made the calculation.

2) If you marry before you get HSMP your spouse wouln't need a WP as she would already be a dependent on your HSMP visa (no work restrictions). If she has degrees and work experience, she might even enhance your application.

If you got married after you got HSMP it would be possible for her to become a dependent, but it would be much more complicated.

does this mean I can assume my own currency rate and show them the calculation using the same ...... would I need to provide bankers statement or proof in this regard
Also regarding the second point I had ..ie abt spouse application...Ina situation where I already I have the HSMP and get married later , would I have to apply for a separate HSMP .... I know there is something like a dependent visa but not too sure how it works for HSMP......

You cannot assume your own exchange rate. Use an independent source like a news paper or a website. You could state them the website used. www.oanda.com if it is any good to you. Else use any other you know.

On your second question, you do not have to apply for an HSMP again, you only need to apply for a dependent visa for your spouse.

In forex, logically speaking, we always go for a currency which charges a low interest
