Payslips for Spouse Visa

[saw87]

We are due to apply for my husbands spouse visa at the end of January. We are leaving the UK mid January to travel to my husbands home country to submit the application.

I'm paid on the 26th of each month and my payslip is issued a day or so before this. So the problem is my January payslip (issued by the payroll company) will not be available in time for me leaving the UK. My HR department have offered to print a copy of it off the system and write a letter explaining that the official slip is issued at a later date but the money will be paid on 26th January. Will this be OK for the application? Or could this risk refusal?

I am going to submit 12 months pay slips just to be on the safe side (applying under category A) and have them all stamped and signed by the employer to confirm they are authentic.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

not sure in which category you are applying. Is it spouse visa in settlement category?

If so you need six months payslips and bank statement as part of the financial requirements in cat-A of appendix-2. And provided you apply before you pay day, you can simply provide the previous six months payslips and bank statements.

I would suggest putting in only original payslips (and not copies) as they are very particular about settlement visa applications from recent experience.

Do make sure that the payslips match bank credits. Read my post: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=121988

Could the HR not simply post it to your non-UK address? You could hand them a pre-paid recorded delivery post and in that way you are covered.

Although what you say sounds reasonable I am not sure you want to take any risk!

Thank you for your advice. My HR have agreed to send the January payslip by recorded mail to my husbands address so we should have it in time to submit. Thankfully they are being very understanding of the situation.
