Financial Requirements for Family Visa for Spouse (UK)

[Steps]

Hi,

  I am going through the application form for my family visa for my wife to stay in the UK. The financial requirements for this visa i was told £18,600 per year, with proof of salary 6 months salary slips. However, there is this tick box with the following statement on the application:

 

"Payslips covering any period of salaried employment (current and previous) in the period of 12 months prior to the date of application"

 

Again i thought you had to provided 6 months salary slips!!! Can anyone ellaborate on this?

As far as I’m aware it is six months payslips if you have been in the same employment or 12 months payslips if you have changed employment. I stand to be corrected however by one of the experts.

What is the Schengen visa requirements? I want to sponsor a Lao passport holder for a Schengen visa to visit Slovenia for one week. How much the sponsor is responsible if the person becomes illegal by not leaving the Schengen area? I have a US passport sponsoring a Lao passport holder for a Schengen visa. The goal is to travel from Slovenia to Paris and get  lost in Paris in Lao community.

I recommend you start your own thread, rather than hijack this one.

My Thai wife, just got her citizenship - her British passport delivered last week !

 

 

 

Does this cover it: ( https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-fm-se-family-members-specified-evidence )

 

2. In respect of salaried employment in the UK (except where paragraph 9 applies), all of the following evidence must be provided:

1. (a) Payslips covering:
   1. (i) a period of 6 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for at least 6 months (and where paragraph 13(b) of this Appendix does not apply); or
   2. (ii) any period of salaried employment in the period of 12 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for less than 6 months (or at least 6 months but the person does not rely on paragraph 13(a) of this Appendix), or in the financial year(s) relied upon by a self-employed person.

 

I know how daunting those forms seem ????

 

 

Hope it all goes well.

The missus kept a record of most things re requirements and timelines.

 

We went via Croydon(London).
