Just lost job but still want to do settlement visa

[jim 73]

Hi all I am getting laid of next week I have been working through PAYE.i have enough money now to do the settlement visa in which I will be going to Thailand in 2 weeks time to do everything . I more than meet the minimum income for the visa but my question is how do I go about it now without a job! I will have to go back doing agency work but don't want that until I get the visa for my wife to the UK then work.confused .com! Any answers appreciated

Do you have to tell them u are no longer employed?

Can you meet the requirement by cash savings ?

Yes, he would have to declare that he's no longer employed, the employer has to supply a covering letter advising the UKVI of the employment status.

What I wanted to do is go over and do the visa then find work when I come back?Can I still do the visa in this situation?or could I get a letter of a future employer to say I have work when I come back?I cannot do cash savings.

 If you can obtain new employment before submitting the application, then you could use 5.3. Category B: Less than 6 months with current employer or variable income – person residing in the UK.

Quote

5.3.3. Under Category B, the financial requirement must be met and evidenced in two parts. ......

 

5.3.10. So, under Category B, the assessment of the financial requirement is based on: 
 (1) The gross annual salary or income from salaried or non-salaried employment at the date of application..........

(2) The actual amount of gross income received from any salaried or non-salaried employment in the 12 months prior to the application............

Any chance of asking your employer for some compassion and delaying the termination of your employment for one month? They can still give you a letter of reference as an employee. Surely no employer can be that much of a bastard, can they? You would be on holiday for part of the month anyway.
