He makes more than the required amount through salaried employment so that is category A right?
Not necessarily.
For Category A, he must have:
- been with his current employer for at least 6 months
- been earning at least £18,600 (before tax) for at least 6 months
... so you provide 6 months of payslips and bank statement, plus an employer letter, to prove that. His original job contract and P60 are optional but recommended
For Category B:
- he has been with his current employer for LESS than 6 months and/or has been earning £18,600 for less than 6 months, but he NOW earns a salary of at least 6 months
AND
- he has earned at least £18,600 (before tax) in the last 12 months
... so you provide 12 months of payslips and bank statements to prove the 12 months of income, along with an employer letter. Plus the job contract and P60.
No, I'm not sure of anything. I am sure I have documents that will work, I am fighting with my husband right now about what he has. This is an ongoing struggle not just in this circumstance but in every aspect of our marriage. Though at times like this I want to cause bodily harm. He is the worlds worst procrastinator. I have hounded him since I moved here. Anyway.... here is what I have
Looking at your documents list, you seem to be missing a large majority of the required documents. You've only listed the 6 documents in each name, but what about all of the other required documents?
Here's my general list of documents you need:
Applicant (US citizen)- Printed FLR(M) application form
- Receipt for IHS surcharge payment
- Your US passport
- Your BRP card
- 2 UK size passport photos with your full name on the back
- Any other passports you have held since arriving in the UK
Sponsor (UK citizen)- 1 passport photo with his full name on the back
- a photocopy of every single page of his passport
Accommodation- original tenancy agreement with both your names on
FinancesCategory A:
- 6 months of original payslips showing earnings of at least £18,600 before tax (£1,550 per month before tax if salaried). They must be original, official payslips printed by the company, or if printed from online, they must be accompanied by a letter from his employer confirming authenticity. The latest must be dated within 28 days of applying.
- 6 months of original bank statements showing the deposit of every payslip, they must be either originals sent in the post, or originals printed in branch, or online banking print-outs that are either stamped on every page by the bank or accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the bank The latest must be dated within 28 days of applying.
The payslips and bank statements must cover the SAME 6 month period, and not a day less... which means you may need to send 7 months to cover every single day of the 6 months
- original letter from his current employer, dated in the last 28 days of applying, stating:
1) current employment and salary
2) length of employment
3) length of time earning his current salary,
4) the type of employment (full or part time, permanent or temporary)
Optional but recommended as the guidance says they may ask for them:
- original job contract
- latest P60
Relationship evidence- marriage certificate
- any divorce decrees from previous marriages
- 1 photo of you together
- your 6 items of correspondence
You should also include photocopies of all original documents you wish to be returned to you.
