Settlement Visa

That’s right!
I have been working diligently on all of this and now that’s it getting to send it I am completely blanking.
We are in category A and I did fill out (I believe) the appendix appropriately.

As I type this out Stephen is screenshooting Skype call logs.
Hopefully with help you have both provided we will receive good news soon.

Please make sure you saw the bit about the required letter from the employer and the details it MUST state.  The visa will be refused without that very specific letter.

Will this letter cover the details required ?

No, that won't be sufficient, I'm afraid.

It must include ALL of the following details:
i) job title and current salary (or hourly rate and weekly hours worked if non-salaried)
ii) length of employment at the company
iii) length of time earning current salary
iv) type of employment (permanent, temporary, full-time, part-time etc.)

They will need to check the salary listed on the letter against his payslips to confirm that the amounts match. And whether he is salaried or non-salaried will affect how they calculate his income.

No problem . The letter must meet the requirements exactly.

An example letter (for someone initially employed in one role, then promoted) would be:

To The Entry Clearance Officer,

I am writing to confirm that (sponsor's name) is employed at (company name) as (job title). He has been employed with us since 01/01/2017 and was initially working as (job title) earning a fixed annual salary of (£X amount). On 01/06/2017 he was promoted to (new job title), at a new fixed annual salary of (£Y amount). His contract is full-time and he is a permanent employee with the company.

I also confirm that the printed payslips he is including with his visa application are authentic and correct.

Yours Faithfully,
(Employer's Name)

Note: this is off the top of my head, just to show all the information that needs to be included... I'm not sure if it's the right sort of wording or not though.

Thank you!

Alright we have another question.
Stephen is currently typing out our sponsorship letter- which we believe is going smoothly due to all of the sage advice and experience from everyone- but we are unsure how to list our living situation
We have a letter and mortgage agreement from his parents but we are also currently pushing through on a maisonette. Hopefully the property will officially be ours in a few weeks.
Should that be listed?
We will be living at his parents house should this deal fall through.

Thank you again!

Can you please give this a read for me and see what you think.

Or attempting to anyway. Lol

That sounds lovely!
I will definitely have to hit you up.

Are you from Dallas by chance?
