Issues with spouse application

[rawgold]

I hope your employer hasn't only been paying you £5.19 per hour.

lol...is just an example CASA

there are conflicting information on where to send documents to in sheffield (my wife is based in nigeria)

thanks again mobeen... i earn more than 18600 without overtime... but they usually add everything up together and have been doing the overtime for years now.

Then it doesn't make hardly any difference at all then if you earn the required amount without overtime. Just to cover everything, double check why they round up like that, and you could mention it in your cover letter, but I doubt it will harm your application if you mention it or not!

appreciate

If you are giving example of per hour rate of £5.19 then that's fine. Otherwise no legal employment gives less than uk minimum wages rate which is currently £7.20.

In my point of view even the difference is 3p then you should get its clarification written on employer letter plus your own covering letter about that. In my opinion even you have fixed contract but if your wages vary then it's non-salaried because HO don't care about working hours/per hour rate but concerned about total required gross income.

Thanks Seagul... am on non-salaried employment. When I saw Judy got upset a bit and thought I should find out about it on here. I think it exactly the way mobeen explained it, they just rounded things up for me

Yes, you are still in Cat A.

Hi guys, just have this quick question to ask.

After submission of my documents I read from somewhere that an applicant was refused spouse visa because the bank statements were not original, though the decision was upturn by the tribunal. My question is what do they termed as original bank statement ? I submitted my basic account bank statements which I normally received middle of every month. It has the Santander logo and and other necessary information.

They must satisfy the requirements of Appendix FM-SE.

Can't stop thinking of any error on my application. I just thought I've made a mistake on the 28 days rule, I included a bank statement I got after application to show my last pay in October. I normally get paid twice each month so, I thought the best thing do was to get my bank statement for November which seemed to wrong judgement. Can anyone clarify this for me pls... I actually thought what they were saying is that one document should not be older than 28 days before submission
