Hey ruksana,
I’ve just been going through all your videos in relation to spouse visa application etc. I just wanted to applaud you & thank you for taking your time out in helping & guiding others through the process. I can see how your videos are truly a godsend! I hope your account stays active so I can message you for advice in the future when needing assistance myself! May god bless you & your family!
Amen!! Thank you so much for your prayers. Yes, I don’t plan on taking my account down at all. I may not always reply straight away but I do try and eventually get back to all my comments. Thank you so much for watching, I am glad you appreciate the content 😄
Hi Ruks, thanks very much for the quick reply, yes that makes perfect sense, once again you've been very helpful.....All the best!
Aww no worries, glad it makes sense. Just leave a comment if you need help with anything else! Good luck with your application :)
@@RuksanaAhmed I think you have done a wonderful job, however I have a quick question. All the supporting documents? Once printed out where should it be provided ? Is the entire application not done online ? Ie would one not attach all his/ her supporting documents online ?
Thanks very much!
Hi Ruks.. just wanted to ask.. I have an account with a bank I have one current account and one savers my savings account is accessible at any time without restrictions.. my current account shows my income going in. Can I print statements for both as the savings has the amount needed and the current account has proof of my job.. your star ruks allah swt bless you and your husband 💕
Hi there, thanks so much for answering my previous question on another video. Could you tell me what you mean by the net pay matching the amount that goes into the bank account? Does this mean that the net pay as listed on the payslip needs to match, or are there other documents it might need to match as well (his contract only lists gross pay)?
I think my husband has his student loan payment deducted directly from his paycheck before it goes into the bank account, so I do think there might be a difference.
Sorry for all the silly questions, I am terrible with bureaucracy!
Hi, thank you for watching my videos!!
So on the wage slips there will be gross pay, tax deducted and then net pay is what’s left after the tax is deducted and that is the amount that will be paid into the employee’s account that is why the net pay on the wage slip needs to match the amount that goes into the bank.
The reason it needs to match is cuz if it doesn’t, they will wonder if it’s a real job cuz these things are almost never wrong!
The gross pay doesn’t need to be matched with anything really but they will use the gross pay to calculate his annual income.
Don’t worry if the gross pay on his contract and his actual gross pay end up being different. As long as it works out to £18,600 per annum, they don’t care about that really.
Hope that makes sense, good luck with your application :)
Thank you very much for your reply. I will apply your recommendations. Lots of love. P
Aww no problem 😊
What’s the difference between salaried and non salaried employment ? If someone is doing a 4 on 4 off job , paid per hour and gets paid monthly the same amount as long as they do all shift , is this salaried or non salaried ? Thanks
Hi Ruks, I've been watching your videos and they've been a great help.
Regarding pay slips, I get paid weekly so 6 months would work out to 26 pay slips am I correct in thinking?....Many thanks on your informative and clear videos.👍
Hi Mark, thank you for watching! I am glad you find the videos helpful. Yes, unfortunately weekly wage slips mean a lot more paper work!! 26 wage slips should be enough. Just make sure that the last wage slip finishes around the same date of the month as the first wage slip started, if that makes sense.
Hi!! Thank you for the video. Is really important that in the letter fron work have to mention "how long thw sponsor has bee. Earning the income that meets the fibancial requirements?
Johana,
when i first submitted my application my documents were not detailed enough and i ended up with a refusal, this is because my employer wasnt clear about my income or how long i had been working. I would suggest you put in how long you have been employed since and your annual income which needs to be 18,600.00.
If you need other assistance i used the following solicitors Which i cant recommend enough, email her An@tylerhoffman.co.uk and tell her chris told you about her she is amazing and will assess you and tell you what needs tobe done. they helped me after my first refusal and that was heartbreaking for me.
Best Of Luck.
Chris.
And also we have to have 6 bank statements? 6 differents papers? Not one paper showing 6 months?
hello sister i wish you put exemple about lettre of introduction
Hi, I have mentioned what points were mentioned in any letters we provided. Everyone writes letters in their own way and I think it would come across more genuine that way.
very useful thank you
Thank you for watching and I am glad you have found it helpful :)
Hi! Thank you very much for your videos they have been a lot of help.
I have one question. When you say no longer than 28 days for the date of the supporting documents does that mean those documents can be within 28 days before or after the visa application date?
Hi Gareth, thank you for watching my video. I am glad you find them helpful! They have to be within 28days when you make the application. Hope that makes more sense. Good luck with your application :)
@@RuksanaAhmed before or after
@@Abdallahsaheb They need to be no older than 28 days before the day you submit the online application form
I brought my wife here as a spouse visa in 2017 and that visa has expired and we did submitted extensions visa 28 days before it expire and now we received refusal letter from home office and the reason said we couldn’t meet the financial requirements I have no children but my wife is pregnant and baby is due end of January 2020 so they gave us permission to appeal if we have good reasons any idea when I do appeal tomorrow and how long will takes that they will issue the court date ?if it takes longer than 3 months then our baby will be here and they might accept that if our baby come then she is eligible to get visa right?the reasons I couldn’t meet the financial requirements because my hand was broken and I have been attakcked by group of gang and I got metal in my hand I got new appointment from hospital too as a evidence my Gp wrote me a letter and he mentioned my hand treatment still going on and my wife’s pregnancy plus he mentioned her 2 miscarriages she had in 2018 so that’s the evidence we have now we are from Afghanistan and we have reason the situation of Afghanistan everyone knows what is going on so any idea what should I do to win this case ?
When you say bank statement on company paper, do you also have to show your actual bank statement too?
I am getting paid into a Korean bank and my first two pay checks were cash because it is incredibly difficult to open a bank in Korean unless you have been residing here for a lengthy period of time. I am wondering if I can get the company invoice as proof enough?
Thanks for your content.
Yeah, I mean actual bank statements. You can ask for the bank to print you out statements from those 2 months if they can. Otherwise I would suggest you wait another 2 months and discard the months with no statements. I know it’s not ideal but those documents are a very big part of the requirements and you could risk a rejection which is even worse. You’ll be waiting a lot more than 2 additional months if that was the case
Hi thank you so much for all the videos what you are doing is great. I am applying for a spouse visa to bring my wife to the UK. about the pay slips i have recently changes jobs i have continuous pay slips. do the pay slips need to be from the same employer ? and what are the documents that need to be no older than 28days ?
Hi Hussein, thank you for watching my videos, I am glad you like them. It is ok that you have changed jobs recently and if you have continuously been earning above the threshold then that is great. The only difference with your application is that you will be applying under category B rather than A and you will have a total of 12 months of wage slips prior to application. So it will mean using wage slips from both your previous job and your current one (course you'll have more from your previous job) as you have not been with your current employer for 6 months yet.
The documents that should be within 28 days will be things like your employment letter, land registry, last wage slip, last bank statement, environmental health report on the house, any other letters really, bills, etc. I would suggest your last chats/call logs are no older than 28 days either. Hope that helps answer your question. Good luck with your application :)
Hi ruks
Just a quick question
Should the date of the wages being paid to your account should be the same for every month i.e. on the 5th of every month unless it lands on the weekend in which case they may move the date forward i.e. instead of 5th they may pay on the 4th. After this the Payslip can then be issued i.e. on the 7th of every month the payslip will come in. Thank You.
Hey, no it’s doesn’t have to be paid on the same date each month. Like you mention, weekends can mean the dates changed. Some places pay ever 4weeks instead of a specific date so it’s always the same day Friday every 4 weeks or something rather than the same date. Hope that helps answer your question, good luck with your application :)
Hi Ruks. Love your videos, they've been extremely useful in getting my own spouse visa application together! I'm getting married in India this month, and looking to apply next month to bring my wife over to the UK. I have a question pertaining to the financial documents. I've been working for my employer here in UK since last year (May 2017) and just been internally promoted to a more senior position. My current salary before promotion was already well in excess of the £18600 threshold anyway. However, do you think I should get my employer to mention this promotion in their employment letter, even though I am likely to only officially start in the new post in Sept/Oct 2017, only after the visa application has been submitted. Also, as it is technically a new job, even though it is with the same employer, does that affect whether I have to submit 6 or 12 months worth of payslips and bank statements? Or do I still use my original start date with my employer (May 2017), and therefore still only submit 6 months worth of payslips and statements? Hope this makes sense lol. Regards, Nino
Hi Nino, thank you for watching. If you won’t have started your new role when you make your application I think it’s best you don’t mention it. If you do, you may end up needing to show 12 months of wage slips, though it’s not a new company, it is technically a new contract as you will be in a new job role. Hope this helps :)
Thanks for your reply. I think I heard you mention that UKVI will call up your employer to confirm your job details, so it's probably best to mention the promotion in the employment letter right? Also if you don't mind me asking, did you use a lawyer at any stage of your application to check through and proofread your forms and documents thoroughly before submission?
Hmm, that’s very true. They only really call if they are suspicious of your employments (mainly when you work two jobs, they almost always call the second employer) but it’s best to be on the safe side I guess.
No. I just read the questions very carefully and did a lot of research.
Hi. Your videos have been very helpful. I have some questions, if you don't mind:
1) can we black out any sensitive information in bank statements for security purposes such as account number and sort code etc, NI number? Or did you leave it in?
2) is the 33 month spouse visa processed as soon as she enters uk with the entry clearance visa? Is this automatic or do we have to do anything?
3) did you black out and hide message content in your WhatsApp chat history or just leave it in?
Thanks,
Shyam
Hi, I didn’t black any information out on any of my documents, inc. bank statements, wage slips of chat history. As I took screenshots from each month, I was selective with the conversation I wanted to show.
Yes, the 33 months are from date of entry so when applying for the extension it’s to make the application 28 days prior to 33 months from date of entry...of that makes sense
Great video did you send all the important documents yourself in the uk or your husband in his country ???
Hey, thank you for watching my video. I’m glad you like it. Yes, I sent all of the supporting documents to Sheffield. I will do a video at the end of the series showing exactly what I sent and the order that I sent them in so look out for that. Good luck with your application :)
Hello thank you for this video. I just have one question which I am worried about. My some of my payslips and don't match the date in which the money is being transferred into my account. so If my payslip reads 5th of December and I am paid twice a month later on the 28th of January because they messed up at the office with my pay. Is that going to be a problem?
Hey! It shouldn’t be too much of a problem if you can get your employer to write you a letter to explain it all
Thank you thank you good bless you
Another question, if you receive checks as income and you have not cashed them in for the bank to have those details, can you use your check payslips as evidence?
Hi! No, they need to be cashed monthly otherwise there is no evidence in your bank account of a wage received.
Thank you so much.I really found ur videos really helpful.
I would need some advice from you.
Hey Priya, thank you for watching my videos. I am glad you are finding them helpful. Yeah course, you can private message me on here or send me a message in my Instagram. My username is ruksandfam :)
Ruks&Fam thank you sis so much. I am a Malaysian citizen,my boyfriend is a British citizen,he is currently finding a job..can I come to UK and get married or ask him to come to my country and get married.
meantime he is doing his small business. His parents are old,as they can't travel to Malaysia.
Thank you ,Your videos are so loving,it makes those in need very stress free. I plan to travel by next year 2019 Jan. But all the documents are from my sponsor,I think the English Test and TB is for me.
Hey, you can get married in either country but to marry in the UK, you will need to apply for a fiancé visa. It is exactly the same process as for the spouse visa however, you are given a 6 month visa and you must marry within that 6 months. It will definitely be easier for you to marry in Malaysia but I can understand that you would want his parents there. Maybe have your main wedding (legal wedding) in Malaysia, maybe have a small party and then have another party after you arrive in the UK and celebrate with his parents?
Aww, I'm so glad you watch my videos and are finding them helpful and they are easing your stresses with the application. Yes, most of the documents are from the Sponsor, you need to worry about signing the printed online application form, attending the biometrics appointment, doing your A1 ielts life skills test and the TB test. Most other things are from his side. If your BF has ever been to Malaysia and you have receipts from anything you did together, include those as well as receipts from any parcels you may have sent to him or give him back any letters he sent to you so he can put them in with the supporting documents. Hope this helps answer your question. Good luck with your application :)
Ruks&Fam Thank you sis so much
Hi and thanks for your videos. They've been so helpful. I'm a little worried though about my financial documents. I'm not in salaried employment (paid hourly) and my monthly salary varies. Over a one year period though I more than meet the annual requirement. How would they approach this when looking at my 6 months finances?
For example one month I might earn 2k but then the following month 1.2k.
Steven Curtis Hi Steve. This is not much of a problem if you are paid hourly. All you need to do is add up all 6 wages that you’ll be providing, divide them by 6 to get the mean average and then times that figure by 12 to give you your yearly annual income from those 6 months. As long as that works out to be £18,600 or above then you are laughing really. It’s harder to meet the requirements when you are salaried than when you are paid hourly! Hope that helps, good luck with your application 😊
@@RuksanaAhmed hey I’m very confused about how it’s all gonna add up to £18,600 or more and how many hours can you work in a day 8 hours or 12 hours?
Hi Ruks your video's are great my wife has just completed the TB test, if the tb test is more than 28 days will this have impact on application
Hey, thank you so much for watching my video. Yes, the TB test should be valid for 6 months after taking it so as long as you are paying for your visa application before the 6 months are up then it should be fine! At least that was the case for ours, my husband had his in Bangladesh, it could be different if you are applying from a different country but I don’t see why it would be. Hope this answers your question, good luck with your application :)
Hlo . Thnku for this video this is realy very helpful.
I have one question i want to know that the applicant do 2 jobs to fulfill the financial requirement?
Hi, thank you for watching! Yes, you can meet the financial requirements with two jobs. The sponsor needs to meet the requirements for the first application but if you are applying for the second visa it can be the sponsor or applicant or joint income.
my emplyer doesnt have its own company headed paper.. i have my letter written by employer on normal paper but its signed by employer and has contact number also and adress
Hi Aliah, thank you for watching my video. Erm...that's a tricky one. Does your company have a stamp they can also stamp your letter with? I would make sure that your employer mentions that they don't have their own letter headed paper and that they are always happy to speak to them should they want to call them to confirm. I'm not sure what else to suggest, maybe double check this advice with a solicitor?
Hi, thank you for the video. I was wondering, for the employer letter, is it ok if the employer letter is slightly older than one month before the date you apply?
Hi! Thank you for watching my video. I am glad you like it. Well technically it should follow the 28 day rule but I applied for my sister in law about 6 months ago now and hers was about a month older than that and her husband's application was still accepted. Personally, I would suggest you speak to your employer and see if they can change it for you, if not, I don't think they will notice it too much tbh. I just wouldn't risk it unless there is no other was around it. Hope that helps, good luck with your application :)
@@RuksanaAhmed Yeah, in the end I just got my employer to change the date. Many thanks!
Hi, one other question!
My husband has recently gotten a promotion and a pay rise at the same company he’s been working for, for over a year. He already was making well over the required income of £18,600. We still apply under Category A with 6 month pay slips, is that correct?
Hi! Yes, your can still apply under category A but explain it in Part 5 of the Appendix 2 and the employer should also mention it in the employment letter. If your husband has 2 contracts (one from before the promotion and one for after) then I would also suggest that he submits both of those as well :)
Hi Ruk Do they check for the balance on your account or do they just want proof of wage going into the account? If you don't have savings in the account would it be a problem?
Hi, thank you for watching my video. No, they’re just interested in your gross annual income and the net that goes into your banks account, nothing else regarding finances really. Hope that helps answer your question! Good luck with your application :)
@@RuksanaAhmed thank you so much! Your videos are very helpful.
Hi Ruks&Fam, can supporting letters from landlords and employers be dated after the date of the application (but before the biometric appointment date) or do they need to be dated within 28 days before the date of the application. I am asking because the guidance said letters should be dated no earlier than 28 before application date but it never said if they can be dated later. Thanks in advance.
Hey Christelyn, thank you for watching my videos. Great question! Yes, you can gather your supporting documents after submitting your application/biometrics appointment, they will be well within date. Just as long as they aren’t over 28 days from submitting your form/paying your fees because once they go over that, they are considered to be invalid/expired. Just remember you have 20 days after your biometrics appointment to hand all your documents in or 10 if you are paying priority. Hope this helps answer your question :)
Ruks&Fam, thank you so much for responding. I was getting worried that we would need to cancel my application as my husband's employers letter and the letter from his bank will be dated after the date we submitted the application on line and made the payments. Thanks for clarifying this. I hope your husband is settling in to life in the UK.
Ruks&Fam Hi Ruks. Isn't it the case that employer letter should be dated before the online submission date? What about the bank statement? Does the last day on the bank statement have to be the same date as the online application form?
Yes i will wait for my 7th payslip 6 bank statements and a mini for my 7th does it sound good now
Cool, I’m glad to have helped :)
Hey, I got a query about bank statements. We are struggling big time getting our bank to stamp the statements since we didn’t have postal service active. The bank counter staff is saying all the statements are digitally stamped hence they wouldn’t manually stamp them. Could you let me know if you have used the digitally stamped statements ? Ugh this is so stressful. Sorry for bombarding you with queries.
Hi I'm just wondering how you resolved this, was it with HSBC? I'm confident I will have the same problem.
Well done sister good luck, wish me luck too .
Thank you :D. Of course, I wish you the best of luck with your application. I'll have my fingers crossed for you! Please keep me updated with your application!
Hi Ruks. Once again, thanks for sharing and guidance. Unfortunately, my son was off sick for couple of weeks two months ago and received less pay due to sickness deductions. Though his monthly gross pay shows full amount, the adjusted gross pay after deduction shown as final gross for that month is less and does not fulfill the monthly gross x 6 = 18600. Would that be detrimental to the application, in your opinion, or a brief explanation with GP sick note copy be sufficient?
Hi, sorry to hear he’s been unwell. Before I can answer your question I need to know if his in salaried or non-salaried (hourly rate) employment because the rules are different depending on that.
He is in salaried position with a monthly salary of gbp 1594.71 / annual salary gbp 19,136.52. His company letter would state 19,136.52 per annum and his payslip states 1594.71 per month before any sick pay deduction or overtime addition. Overtime is worked on hourly units. If the rule says to take any one lowest payment in last six months and multiply that by 12, then his lowest payment last month due sickness was 1183.64 (after deducting sick absence) and times 12 of this comes to only 14203.68, whereas his actual annual is 19136.52. Totally confused right now!
Ok, so that makes things easier for him. The calculation of the lowest wage slips is what you would do if he was in salaried employment. An hourly rate means he is non-salaried which is great because he may be ok. He just needs to add up all 6 wage slips, divide by 6 to get the mean average and then x 12 and that should give him the annual salary. Hope this makes sense!!
Thanks Ruks. After taking the average, his annual works out below the £86000 threshold due to the deduction of sick absence. I will be submitting on this basis with a letter from the company confirming his annual pay and add a note with gp sick note to explain lower earnings for the six months and hopefully they will consider the fact that had he not been sick, his wages would be above the threshold. Will keep you informed.
Hi Moby, is there anyway he can hold off for another month and make up for it by working overtime? I would highly recommend that if it’s possible. They are quite strict with the threshold and have refused for just a few pounds before so that’s why I’m saying it. Course a Letter might be enough but think about all your options before you take the risk. Obviously, I’m not a solicitor and I’ve don’t of anyone who has been in the same situation so I can only give you my understanding of the application and advise you in that. Definitely keep me updated!
Hello darling thank you for your video . can you.please answer me...what does that means "before tax" it's means with the tax discount? or without? Can you give me an example? Please 🙏
Hi Johana, thank you for watching! Before tax is any money you earn without the tax deductions. On one side of your wage slip it will say how much you earned that month. It might say something like 150hrs worked @ £8ph = £1,200 that would be the before tax wage. You need to earn a minimum £1,550 before tax per month to meet the financial requirement of £18,600 per annum. Hope this makes sense to you. Good luck with your application 😊
Ruks&Fam so if my husband earn £1600 per month but with discount finally gets £1341 . is Ok? Thank you luv
Yes, he meets the requirements 😊
Does the 6 month bank statement need to be registered to the property you will live in. Can it be registered to the place you lived before?
They should be registered to where you live now
Hi Ruks, Thanks for making the videos, really helpful.
Completed the form online, redirected me to pay for the IHS. But didn't charge any money only said I've been exempted. Is that correct or do you think i made a mistake while filling up the form? I am a british citizen and applying for my wife who is in Bangladesh.
Hi, thank you for watching my videos. I am glad you are finding them helpful. Hmm, that's really strange. I don't understand why she would be exempt from paying the IHS fees, I would have thought they were mandatory for all applicants as it is what allows them access to our NHS (of course, it's "free" for us cuz we pay our taxes but they have never paid their taxes in this country so it should be needed. I would definitely suggest you have a look at your form again...if you can (maybe you can get your wife to print it out and scan it over to you/take pics of it for you). I only say that cuz you can only print it off once, and she'll need it at the biometrics appointment so it's best for her to print it. Hope that helps a little bit, hope you get it sorted. Let me know what happens with that and good luck with your application.
@@RuksanaAhmed Thanks a lot. I have done the application again. Everything looks good now.
Oh that’s good, I’m glad you managed to get it sorted. You must have ticked one of the boxes incorrectly. Wonder what gets you exemption from paying the IHS fees?! Hehe 😜
Hi Ruks,
Thank you so much for your help!
I am hoping to start applying for spouce visa for my husband by January. I recently changed my job last month. Therefore, my wage slips would be from two different companies. Would this be an issue?
Hey! Aww that's absolutely fine. You will need to apply under category B and submit 12 months of wage slips instead of 6. Eg. Jan 2020 - Oct 2020 from your previous job and Nov 2020 - Dec 2020 from your new job
@@RuksanaAhmed Thank you so much for your reply!
I just want to clarify that in both of my jobs, I was working for the NHS. It's the same type of job and salary, just different hospitals. Would this still be classified as category b ?
Thanks again for your dedicated time!
@@donaannjacob4113 Hi, I would go with category B just to be on the safe side because they are two different contracts :)
My funds which I shown a bank account these bank not in ukvi approved list , same time not in rejected bank list , can continue for visa or do I need to change bank , please help me.
I am a little confused as to why there is a bank that UKVI don't approve? I think this is a question for a solicitor or you could call them and ask. Their contact information is in the description box, but there is a per min charge.
Hi! Do the bank statements have to show every single transaction in and out for the past 6 months or is it bank statements you get via mail ?
Hi, thank you for watching my video. It’s your actual bank statements that show all your transactions over the months. Hope that helps answer your question. Good luck with your application :)
Thanks so much for the reply! Your videos were of big help :)
What if the applicant lives and work legally in UK? Can his income be included? I saw that on the UKBA site
Hi, I am not 100% sure of this but I think both incomes can be considered if the applicant is also working legally in the UK.
hi ruks , you are amazing sparing this much time. could u answer question for me please. im in a non salaried employment but my wage slips for last 6 months have been slightly variable. what category do i fall in and do i qualify to apply if ive only been working for 7 months and unemployed before that. thnks
mahmood zaffar Hi, yes of course, you only need to be in a job for 6 months to make the application. In terms of your employment, it does not matter that it’s varied each month (that’s the perks of being non salaried). All you need to do is add up the gross income of your most recent 6 months of wage slips, divide the total by 6 to get the average and then multiply by 12. As long as that figure if above £18,600 that’s all that matters. The good thing about non salaried employment is any over time counts, so if your sick one month, so less hours one month, you can make up for it another month, commission counts as well 😊
@@RuksanaAhmed brilliant, thanks for replying. 2 more questions though ! 1- does the applicant need to include a criminal record certificate ? and 2- would one single employer letter suffice explaining job and home printed payslips or does there actually need to be 2 seperate letters. thanks.
Hey!
1) We didn’t supply a criminal record,’I’m guessing the only need for you to supply one is if you have anything on it, which neither me or my husband have.
2) One letter explaining both is enough, that is what we did 😊
Thank you
You’re very welcome :). Thank you for watching!
Hello please advise me how you registered your hubby with the GP.
I lack proof of address
Hiya, this can definitely be an issue and sometimes it depends on your GP practice (or how nice the receptionist is) we were very lucky to have friendly receptionists at our doctors who deal with multi cultural patients so come across situations like ours all the time. Our clinic accepted my husbands TB test certificate which had my home address on it so maybe you can give that a go. Hope it works for you too!
my fiancée has less income than required but he have savings that is more than 16,000 pounds. Would still be a ground that our application will be denied if he didn’t meet the annual income requirements? He doesn’t receive any benefits or support but it’s just that his income is less for the whole year. I hope to hear from you. I’ve been reading online and it says savings is fine but some people said that this is only applicable if we are applying for extension
Hi, thank you for watching! I’m not sure why it says that online because you can use savings towards the initial application also. £16000 is a minimum savings requirement which they will count towards the application. The amount of savings he will need really depends on exactly how much he’s earning. If you want to message me privately with the exact numbers on my email: ruksandfam@gmail.com or Instagram: ruksandfam, then I can work it out for you. Other options he has are taking up regular overtime to make up for it or taking on a second job
Ruks&Fam i’ll email you later, i’m about to start working soon. Thanks so much :)
Hi thank you for your videos...Just wanted to ask if you can do overtime for 6 months and wether that counts towards the 18600 and then apply ?
Hi! Thank you for watching my videos, I am glad you like them! Yes, you can do overtime to meet the financial requirements as long as you are paid per hour. Hope that helps answer your question, good luck with your application :)
@@RuksanaAhmed thank you very much for for your reply just wanted to confirm that yes I do get paid hourly but in my contract in says I get paid a certain amount hourly and do 30 hours a week...but I am doing extra hours most of the time however I get paid on the last Friday of every month so will overtime still count or will they only count the hours in my contract.
Yes, they will count. Even though your contract says 30hrs, if you work overtime then that extra money will go towards your financial requirements. It's no problem being paid every on Fridays, you overtime will still count. So if you fall ill, take sometime off work, go unpaid, you can always make up for it by working extra hours. That's the beauty of working an hourly rate. Your 30hrs is just what you are contracted to meaning, you have to be given and work at least that many hours a week, it doesn't mean you can't work more :)
hi, you videos are relly informative. Can you please guide, i am married to british national and currently she is living with me in india for last 2 years. my wife wants to move to UK together.
My question is since she is unemployed-and living in India her family is supporting us with 62500 pounds gift money. Can we still use this option or she have to still move to UK and work for 6 months before i join her.
Reply will be much appreciated
Hi, thank you for watching my videos, I am glad you find them helpful. It's great that you have an amazing family who are gifting you so much money and it's true, you can make an application with savings alone. Those savings do have to be £65,000 though and they will need to be in the sponsor's account for 6 months minimum so unfortunately, there will still be a wait for you.
I'm not too sure how the application works when the sponsor is living outside of the UK however, so I would really suggest you speak to a solicitor about your situation as it is quite different to mine but I think all the evidence will be the same.
When shall I start getting my supporting documents ready employer letter housing letter etc
Hey, I think you should start preparing all of that in the last month your wage slip (the month that you will be applying)
Hi Ruks. Thanks for this video. Wanted to ask: my first payslip is dated 30 Nov 2018 and last payslip dated 28 April 2019. So, does this time period cover 6 months payslips? I started working end of Oct. I have included email from company that they have changed the payment date now to 28 of a month rather than end of the month and salary is still paid on monthly basis. Thanks, we will be inshaaAllah applying next week before 28 days time end.
BTW you are mashaallah very pretty
Hi, thank you for watching my videos. Yes, Nov-Apr will take you to 6 months of pay. Good luck with you application this week :)
Aww, that's very kind of you! Thank you so much :)
Hi, did you provide/print out your NI record or tax contributions from your personal tax account online/government gateway?
Hi Saima, no I didn’t. You tax contributions should appear on each wage slip. It will show you what you earned gross income, what you were taxed and what you have left as net income and the net income amount is what will be the amount that goes into your bank account
Ruks&Fam Ohhh ok thanks! That’s what I thought, until I spoke with a solicitor and he advised to print out NI contributions record from my government gateway account
I guess there’s no harm in doing that (extra proof) but I don’t think it’s necessary.
Ruks&Fam oh ok I see, thanks x
Hi Rukhsana,
I am intending to apply for UK spouse visa for my wife, however slight issue is my annual salary is currently documented at £18530, resulting in £70 shortfall of the home office requirement which is £18600 annual. However over the last 4 months I have been putting in sufficient overtime, would that be acceptable? And if so, how could I portray that to the home office ?
Thank you
Hi. Yes, overtime is accepted. All you need to do is add all of your net income over the last 6 months together (total net income, inc overtime), divide by 6 to get the average and then multiply by 12 to work out the annual income. That is how ukvi will work it out. I provided them with my calculations as an additional document which is something you can do too. You can also mention that you do regular overtime in your sponsor letter and you employer can also mention that there is always overtime available in your employment letter.
@@RuksanaAhmed did you show the full 12 months or just the 6 months? As I was only employed around November 2020
Good evening Ruksana,
Once again thank you very much for your videos. My wife's A1 IELTS TEST has been cancelled twice in Rabat since July, shall I go ahead with the application without it?
Thank you
Good afternoon! Ah no, I am really sorry to hear that. Must have been causing you so much stress!! If you don't have any other places for her to take the test then I would suggest you make the application under exceptional circumstances due to covid. Explained it in a cover letter/in the additional information section of the application and also use the cancellation emails as proof. Best of luck 🙏
Salaam bro.
It has now reopened, my wife had hers on the 29th of Nov, alhamdulilah she passed.
She's from Marrakech which is a long way out so I flew out to chaperone her and unfortunately she will need to go back for the bio metric, TB Screening and to submit her application at the Visa Centre.
@@mikailmandhu8209 Thank you so much for replying to someone else's comment. Love seeing people helping people in the comments section 😁
Hi Ruksana, I just found your channel and I really like it 😊 I have a question and hope you can answer me soon, me and my husband filled the visa application form by ourselves but there was a mistake in our marriage date and he cancelled the application me I suggested not to cancel it and write an acknowledge letter but ge said no , so can we get refund can we get the money back or no? They send us an email that they will answer us if our request of refund is successful but still no reply. Could you please advise on this May God bless you ❤❤
Hi, so sorry I never got back to you. Did you get your refund in the end?
Can you tell me, if you used a solicitor or you did it all by yourself?
Hi Cecilia, thank you for watching my video. I didn't use a solicitor, I did it by myself! So please if you get really stuck, ask a solicitor, they are much more knowledgeable in this matter than I am, I am not in their profession. These videos are just what we did and advice. Good luck with your application :)
Hi dear, can i know that is this question exactly? what is difference between director or non executive company limiyed??
Hi, I am sorry but I don't actually know. Never owned my own business so don't know the terminology 🤷♀️
Hey, is it ok if my contract says fix term with 6 months probation. Would I still be able to apply?
Hi, as far as I am aware, fixed term is fine. If your term is nearing the end when you apply I would suggest trying to see if you can get some sort of proof of being kept on if you can
Do i need to have bank balance if i apply for my wife and does p60 of 2017 work i well be applying in november
Hi Amrit, thanks for watching! There’s no mentions of having a bank balance but it must be the account you get paid into and they want to see the wages match your wage slip. Hope that helps! Good luck with your application :)
Thanks for the help
Could you tell how much days you with for your husband visa ? From first day up to now
Hi, I have mentioned a timeline of everything in my update video titled "we got out visa" czcams.com/video/zDZLBODJhT0/video.html. I think it was a total of about 87 days from visa payment to receiving the decision.
Why do you not mention the 65200k savings option or the combination of savings and a lower than 18600k income?
Hi, thank you for watching my video. Though I am aware of those as options, I haven’t mentioned it mainly because I don’t know much about them really, I have no really experience about the savings options and how you would go about it. My videos are just of my own experience (this is not my profession) and thought that they could be beneficial to some. I’m sorry if it’s not beneficial to you, but I don’t want to advise incorrectly of things I don’t actually understand. You are best speaking to a solicitor regarding savings. Hope you understand, good luck with your application :)
Hi I'll have 6payslips on 5 September. And on 29 September ill have 6months full bank statements. So rather than me waiting for 29 September for full bank statement can I go in branch and ask for mini statement do they accept. I'll still have 6 payments from employment showing
Hi, thanks for watching! I’m not sure that they will accept your mini statement tbh. The only reason I think they accepted mine was because I ended up sending them a total of 7 wage slips, 6 bank statements and 1 mini statement. That’s only because by the time I was ready to submit my papers my 7th wage slip had arrived. If I was you, I would wait and then if your 7th wage slips comes in, then you can print off a mini statement. Hope this makes sense. Good luck with your application :)
CH Hasan,
you can go into your bank and ask for bank statement if you haven't already done so, they provided you the most up to date statement. You can even order 6 months bank statements from your bank and they provide them to you. I ordered my bank statements for 6 months from my bank.
Best of luck Chris.
@@chriskirkwood3659 thanks
With the income before tax is it the one shown on your p60?
Hi Ana! Yes, it should be shown on the p60
Hello mam.i want to know
Actually I am from india
I am working in hotel industry
If I get my offer letter from uk
How much fund I have to show in embassy
Have to show any fund or not?
Please I want answer
Hi, thank you for watching my video. An offer letter is great however, until you have started the job, they won't be able to consider that towards your financial requirements. Your UK spouse will need to be able to show they can financially support you with an income of £18,600 per annum and/or with savings. Hope that helps answer your question. Good luck with your application :)
Hi sis after marriage how many months u have to wait then applying for visa? And another question if my husband is frm uk he has to apply for me frm uk or i have to apply from my country?
Hi, it doesn't matter how long after marriage you apply, you can actually apply from before marriage, the day/week or month after, some apply many months even years after.
My husband and I applied 2 months after the marriage (well 3 because I spent a month with him after the marriage and then a further two months after I returned). As long as the sponsor has 6 months of wage slips and bank statments then you can apply at any point.
You can apply from your country if you feel confident. My husband wasn't so I applied for him but I still chose "apply from outside the UK" and "apply for myself". I just made sure all the answers I gave were what he would have given. Hope that makes sense!
Awww thanks❤️ bless
Hi Ruks can you please tell me how can i find gross pay of six months payslips
Cuz its confusing idk how to calculate i need to figure out gross pay for employers confirmation letter
Hey, so your gross may is the figure shown on the wage slip before the taxes are deducted. Add them all up from the last 6 months and divide them by 6 (to get an average) and then times it by 2 to work out what it will be for the year. Hope that makes sense, good luck with your application! :)
Thank you very much sis👍🏻
Aww, that's no problem at all. Thank you for watching :)
It should be times by 12. Not 2. Maybe that was a typo
No typo there Neeky :)
Hi Ruksana
My partner's in Sylhet but his biometrics got cancelled due to national lockdown. Our financial documents are in date (29,30 March) of the online application which was submitted 5 April however he's not paid the fee as he was instructed to pay on the day of his biometrics. Even though biometrics appointment won't be till May now will our documents still be within 28 days? And is it worth including my Aprils payslip and bank statement just in case? Would really appreciate any advice you can give me, thanks :) and hope you and husband are keeping well insha'allah.
Hi, we are good thanks! Oh no, really sorry to hear that his appointment was cancelled. You documents will still be in the 28 days of application so don’t worry about that. I don’t think you need to provide April’s wage slips but if it was me, I probably would cuz I like to go overboard with the documents lol. It deffo won’t harm. Even though you have submitted your documents, you can go back into the website and upload additional documents. Then submit them again before his next appointment. Hope he gets another appointment soon!
@@RuksanaAhmed Thanks so much, you really put my mind at ease as I've had so many conflicted responses. Haha I'm just the same going overboard with the evidence so I'll definitely be including the April pay slip and bank statement. I've rescheduled it twice now so fingers crossed can keep this one insha'allah. Thanks for your help Ruksana and Ramadan Mubarak to you and your family :)
Aww, I'm glad you feel better about it now. Thank you! Ramadan Mubarak to you all as well 😁
Hi ruks, can you please help me here,
I recently changed started my new job, and this is my 2nd month in job, but hmrc haven't cutted my tax, but i am still meeting my requirement of my earning, can i still apply for my husband application, or i need to wait for tax to be cutted.
Ruks i forget to mention company does my tax, but i have never tax yet.
@@fareedamalik3 Hey, don't worry about whether you tax is correct or incorrect. Your tax is not what ukvi will look at. They are only interested in your income before tax. Also, will you be waiting until you have been in this new job for 6 months before you apply? If not, you will have to show 12 months of wage slips and bank statements.
@@RuksanaAhmed yes i will wait for 6 months im currently in my 2nd payslip now, 4 months to go...
@@fareedamalik3 Aww amazing!! The 4 months will fly by. I can't believe we are already applying for his 2nd visa 😅
Hi can u help me plz I’m stack , I work part time now I wana change for full time my boss he saying u can’t apply after 6 moth Becoz 2 months left to Declare your tax April 2019 also u will have problem becoz of p60 he say if u start work 1/2/19. U can apply after 8 month. :( thanks
Hi, thank you for watching my video. You should be fine to change your job/job contract, it doesn't matter that your p60 will be issued. Do you declare your own taxes or does the company sort that out for you? If the company sorts it out for you then you have nothing to worry about. You will just have to wait either 6 months before you apply (after you have collected 6 months of wage slips) or if you earn £18,600+ in your current job role and you will be earning that in your new job role and you don't want to wait then you can provide 12 months of wage slips altogether. So say you apply after 2 months of being in the new job, you will apply with 2 months wage slips from your new job and 10 months from your previous job but you have to have earned £18,600+ in both. Hope that makes sense, good luck with your application :)
@@RuksanaAhmed thanks so much my job its mechanic i was learn i was work part time i get 410 every month, now i find new job i earn 21.600 every yaer 450 weekly also pramenet job..im gone work 7 month then i apply see what happens.. thanks so much for u ,
Hey ,does overtime counts if you earn less than 18,600?
Hi Esther, yes it does towards if you earn an hourly rate...not sure if it does if you earn an annual salary. If you can, maybe ask for a temporary increase in hours?? So you get guaranteed overtime each month xx
Love your make up ....can you do a tutorial ?
Wendy Mckenzie Aww, thank you!! I’ve always had mostly the same routine for my make up. Think in this one I was just a bit more precise than some of my other ones as me and hubby had a date night and the lighting makes it look especially good hehe. I’ll try and figure it out and do one cuz I struggle really dark circles and hyperpigmentation from acne so it might help someone 😊
hey your videos have been extremely helpful and its a pleasure to be watching them knowing how much time and effort you put into them so i really appreciate what your doing. Just a quick question if i want to pay priority from the vfs website how do i make a account with them to do this do i have to type in my application reference number? thanks for taking your time to read this comment and you are so beautiful. thanks again.
Hi Zakir, thank you so much for watching them and I'm glad you are finding them helpful, that's really nice to hear. Unforunately, I don't know much about the priority process so I can't answer that. I am so sorry. Maybe one of my other viewers can shed some light on this one?
Hi Ruksana, thank you for useful information. I earn aprox 30000 per year but one month i earn 1540. but if i calculate overall 12 payslip i earn 30k. do i need to earn every month minimum 1550? if you can help please
Hi, it depends if you are on a salary or are on an hourly rate. If it’s an hourly rate then as long as 6 wages slips show an income of £9,300 then it doesn’t matter if you earn less one month and more in another.
If you are salaried then they will multiply your lowest monthly wage by 12 and if that isn’t £18,600 or over (which £1540 x 12 won’t be) then you don’t meet the financial requirements.
I’m not sure if in this case you can submit 12 months to make sure to show them you did earn it this last year. It’s probably best to speak to a solicitor if you are on a salary to make sure
i don't know sis mini statement please tell me what is this mini statement and it is important for spouse visa apply please tell me sister
Hi Tanni, don’t worry about the mini statement, it’s not necessary. Just make sure you have 6 wage slips and 6 bank statements showing those wages when you make your application :)
Tanni, mini statment is what you get from a ATM machine , but you can just go to your bank and order your statements.
Best of luck
Chris
Hi sister, can you tell me plz the fee for uk spouse visa thank you

hi sis.. im hoping to marry a girl from Morocco, was wondering requirements regarding employment as i've recently changed jobs.. would you know if i have to wait for my 6 months probation to go over and get married? i understand this will be the case to apply for the visa, thanks :)
Hi Kasim, thank you for watching my video! Hmm, you don’t necessarily need to wait before you can get married and apply. If your annual income from your previous job was £18,600 or more and it’s he same in your new job then you can apply under category B which allows you to used a total of 12 months of wage slips prior to application so that could be 11 wage slips from your old job and one from your new one. Otherwise, you can wait 6 months and apply under category A and use 6 months of wage slips from your current job. Hope that makes sense. Good luck with your application :)
@@RuksanaAhmed hey that's great, thank you for clarifying! happy for u & hubby ;
Hello
What is the condition if someone is working for own brother ?
Hi, if you are working for your brother, you should still be getting a salary so it will depend on how much he pays you per month. Unless you own part of the business with him? Then you will need to apply under the category where you own the business. Tbh, I think it’s best you ask a solicitor about your situation cuz I’m not too sure about it. Hope you figure it out, good luck with your application :)
Hi Ruks if I cant meet the income threshold is it still possible to apply under ten year route?
Hi Mohammed, thank you for watching my videos and leaving me a comment. Hmm, I'm not entirely sure on that. I know you can use other ways to prove you meet the financial requirements such as cash savings, pensions, money in investments (such as property). I think you can now also get a third party sponsor but please speak to a solicitor about this cuz I am not sure how it works. Sorry I cannot help you any further but I hope you find the answer you need. Good luck with your application :)
Hi Rukz thank you for getting back to me. I have seen two different solicitor already regarding this but I am not entirely satisfied with the answers given. They are suppose to be professional solicitor yet their advice varied from each other. Its so stressful man. I have gathered more info by reading up on gov.uk and other sources like your videos etc. I will probably go and seek advice from a barrister. I am a bit confused about how third party support works but hopefully he might be able to clarify. Hope you are having a blissful marital life though :)
Maybe you can contact Citizen's Advice and I used forums such as www.immigrationboards.com and www.expatforum.com, they really helped me. I even posted a question on one of them myself. It's a fairly addition to the application so I guess they haven't read enough into it. Good luck with your appointment with the barrister, I hope you get an answer
@@mohammadrahman7707 did you manage to find out about third party sponsor? No one seems to be able to clarify the matter about third party sponsor
@@dilufasultan5253 Hi yes I did but its quiet complex though. If the person is in UK they need to prove the relationship with you like friends family or relatives etc and then their 18.6k income. They would also need to state they will be supporting your spouse through out the entire time. If you or the third person showing savings instead of income then you need to show 16000+18600X2.5= £62500 which is ridiculous. No wonder people getting put off
How much income should be including tax???
Hiya, it's an annual income of £18,600 before tax
Does the 28 days apply to the TB test document
Hey, no it doesn’t. As long as the TB test is no later than 6 months old when you make your application it should still be valid
hi Ruks.. i was wondering if the sponsor should show that he/she has 18600 pounds on his/her accounts.??? or any amount of money on the account would do providing the fact that on their payslip it shows they are earning a salary of 1560 pounds minimum per month... .(18600 / 12 months = 1560 pounds)
kami coossa Hi, as long as the sponsors payslip shows the sponsor is earning £1550 per month before tax and the net income is deposited into their bank account each month then that is all that needs to happen.’the sponsor does not need to have any specific amount of money in their account, it doesn’t matter if the sponsor spends all or nothing of the income as long as the income is being received. Hope that makes sense 😊

Can I apply spouse visa for my wife with three months payslips ( am rushing as she’s pregnant 🤰 and I want to bring her before the child is born ) ? Thank you in advance
there must be another way,i wanna bring my wife to the uk butt this is so dame complicated.
Hmm, I’m not sure to be honest. I don’t think it’ll be much of a problem if your wife does give birth there as the child might (not 100% sure) be British anyway so you won’t need to apply for the child, just apply for its passport
Hi there sis , If I get £1550 cash in hand from my restaurant job and I put in my bank for every month till it’s 6 months , will this be accepted ? Thanks 😊
Hiya, yes. All tax from the cash in hand job should be kept by your employer and you must deposit the whole net every month. Even if you need to spend the cash. deposit it first so there is evidence of it and then withdraw whatever you need
@@RuksanaAhmed so I need to show proof of payement going in my bank ? And do I need to show a payslip or can I show my bank statements over the past 6 months?
Yes, so you will need to show the payslips from work for the last 6 months and then the bank statements which show the net amount has been deposited.

Hi yes, that is fine but I don't think they will take the first 6 months into account when they make their calculations, they are only really interested in the most recent 6. Is there a reason you want to provide 12?
@@RuksanaAhmed Hi, thanks for the reply❤ My husband been working for the same employer for over 5 years now but his basic salary comes under the financial requirement but with the overtime he get each year ,it goes over ,we're not sure if he can reach FR within 6mos, and told me he might need 8-12payslips. I wanna know if it's okay..I'm really confused with the calculation and how😔 thank you so much.
@@MycrafttherapybyBRei Hmm, that is unfair that he's not been able to do overtime in the recent months. I would suggest your husband explains his situation and sees if he can do regular overtime to help him meet the requirements (that is what I did with my old job when I applied for my husband). If they are unable to do that then I would advise he gets another job part-time, temporarily just so he earns enough to bring you over. Otherwise, you can make the rest up with savings but he must have over £16,000 of savings to begin with for it to even be considered, plus extra, depending on how much he is short by. The savings must have been in his account for the last 6 months also (can be gifted if he doesn't have enough savings). If you can't wait a further 6 months, then you can apply under the 10 year route provided that all other documents are alright. Think you need a third party but not too show it all works. You should speak to a solicitor about your situation. Best of luck 🙏
Aww😔 he's actually doing a lot of overtime the past months.. I'm just really confused on the calculation..😩 can I ask one last question, which side should I compute, the total gross pay or the total amount paid? Thank you so much for replying me..❤
@@MycrafttherapybyBRei Hey, that's good that he's been given a lot of overtime. That should make up for the shortfall. I am guessing he is paid hourly like I was. So you just need to calculate the income is to add up all of the gross income earned each month, divide by 6 to get the average and then multiply by 12. Whatever figure that is is the annual income. So as long as it is £18600, then you meet the threshold
Hi, I work on at zero hour contract can I get do 6 months then apply for the visa?
Hi, thank you for watching my videos! I think you can so long as you make a total of £9,300+ overall over the 6months. I think you should double check with a solicitor though. Hope you get it confirmed soon, good luck with your application :)
During the 6 months I'd earn £13,00k plus would that be fine to apply even if it's 6 months. Also, would it be a problem if you apply for a visa and you're on a zero hour contract? Thank you so much for your help ❤️
Ah right, then you earn more than enough to make the application. The only thing I'm not sure about is the 0 hour contract. I don't see it being a problem cuz you are clearly getting the hours but I would just suggest you double check it with a solicitor, book in an initial appointment which is free (to see how much they charge and what they do to help you) and just throw it in, tell them your concerned about cuz your on a 0 hour contract and they will probably tell you if it's ok or not. Tell them you need some time to think and walk away, free advice :). Let me know what happens.
Ruks&Fam thank you so much, I'm confused some say you have to work 12 months then apply if you're on a 0 hour contract, hopefully it all goes well wish you all the best 💓
It’s possible, that’s why I think you should check with a solicitor because I’m not one so I don’t know the complete rules unfortunately.
How long she or he should be working so that to get married ?
Hi Ussy, thanks for watching. There is need to have been working at all to get married but to make an application for the visa, he sponsor needs to have been working for a minimum of 6 months in the same job. If you have been working at least 6 months up to marriage then once you are married, you can pretty much apply straight after. Hope that makes sense. Good luck with your application 😊
What’s the difference between marriage visa and fiancé visa ?
A fiancé visa is for 6 months and you must have the intention to marry during your stay in the UK, it doesn’t matter if you and your partner have ever lived together. Once you are married, you can apply for the spouse visa to continue living together in the UK. A spouse visa is when you are already married and have lived together before (even if only for a few days) and you would like to continue to live together in the UK. A spouse visa is for 2.5 years and can be extended until indefinite leave to remain

Hi ruks, i posted my documents and they have reached there on the 5th . Bu they havn't sent me any confirmation to say they have recieved. I want to check the postal address, is this correct?
Settlement Applications, International Operations and Visas
PO Box 5852
Sheffield
United Kingdom
S11 0FX
Hey! Unfortunately they don’t always send confirmation of receipt. That is the correct address so please try not to worry. We here anything for 2 months. You’re package will be at the very bottom of millions and millions of applications, they will probably will not have even opened it yet so won’t even know it’s there. Good luck :)!
Ruks&Fam thankyou so much
Ruks&Fam you know on your previous video you said you sent it to the wrong address, so what was that address?
The wrong address for Bangladesh was:
UK Visas and Immigration
Vulcan House
6 Millsands Sheffield
S3 8NU
I think some countries still send here though so it might be right for you. It is best to check on the VFS website just in case
Ruks&Fam oh ok, thats fine then
So you have to be employed? What if you earn as unemployed
No, you don't have to be employed but it is the easiest way to prove the financial requirements so that is why people work to meet the requirement. You can be self-employed but need to show a years worth of income. If you have no job, you can show cash savings but it needs to be a minimum of £62,500 (this can be borrowed but must be in your account for a minimum of 6 months). If you have a pension, are paid rent you can use these or if you are a carer or have a disability that prevents you from working you may be exempt from meeting the financial requirements. I don't know much about the other methods tbh as it's not a situation we were in.

how abou for self enployd
Hi, thanks for watching! For self employed I know that you’ll have to provide 12 months worth of bank statements and wage slips but other than that I am not too sure how it work so I would deffo suggest looking into it and maybe speaking to a solicitor. Sorry I can’t help you much but I wish you the best of luck with your application :)
hi Jhon,
Self employed is Tricky i would recommend speaking to a solicitor too, email an@tylerhoffman.co.uk and they can give you a free consultation to make sure that you qualify to apply for this visa.
if you do they can help you further otherwise they will tell you how to improve your circumstances.
Best of luck

Hello sister,
I hope you could help me on this two section...
1- employment - currently i m doing two jobs and both are full time but one jobs is permenant and the other one is temporary fixed term contract. Will it a temporary job a problem.. from both jobs i earn around 30k a year...
2 - Accomadation - i m currently live with my cousin and he owns the house its a three bedroom and i live in double bed room and i have a seprate toilet and i m not paying any rent..me and my cousin and wife are living at this house. what type of doucuments do i need to get from him and do i need to fill tenancy agreement....
Plz help me out on these two sections... thanks
Hi, thank you for watching my video.
1. Hmm, I'm guessing you get paid more than £18,600 in one of our jobs. Even though you work both jobs, if you earn more than £18,600 in one of those jobs then you can show that one, ideally it would be your permanent role. I'm not too sure on the rules for fixed term unfortunately so I would suggest you ask a solicitor Abir that.
2. You just need to get your cousin to write a letter to say that he and his wife are happy for you and you spouse to live with them rent and bills free. You need to get an environmental health report done on the property do that the council can see that the house is suitable for you all to stay there. If your cousin owns he property, you should get the title deeds of the property as well. Watch my "Part 7 - accommodation documents" video, your documents will pretty much be the same as mine.
Hope this helps! Good luck with your application :)
Why sponsor letter from employment has no dates
My employer did provide a date
@@RuksanaAhmed How much is house inspection report
We paid £60 but I think they can range between £60-£120ish depending on where you live
Ami uk tourist visa refuse hoise ek bar akhon abar ami spouse visa apply korbo er jonno Ki alada kon oh document lagbe

What Category are you as a Sponsor? Thanks.
Hey, I fell under category A for the financial requirements. My non-salaried employment income met the £18,600 requirement.
Thank you. Under Category A, you submitted 6 payslips and 6 bank statements? And is it true that the last payslip and bank statement (6th month) should be within 28 days from the day of Biometrics or the day when you apply onliine via VFS? Do you also submit the Letter from Employer and Contract of Employment and it should be within 28 days? I read many threads and I don't know which is which. Thank you.
Hi, yes 6 banks statements and 6 wage slips (personally I submitted 7 as my 7th wage slip came the day I was submitting so had a mini-statement printed for that). So the last wage slips/bank statement should be no later than 28 days old when you pay for your visa fees. It also applies for your environmental health report and any cover letters from your employer, the spouse, the applicant, parents/landlord. Your work contract can be from when you started with your company
Thank you so much! Very clear! Noted for this. Thanks again. Hugs and kisses :) : ): )
Aww anytime. Just drop me a message anytime you need anymore help! xx
