Spouse/ Family visa - financial requirements (UK)

[bubblehits]

I'm looking at the financial requirements of the family visa that my husband will apply for in the future to move to the UK.

I currently work a salaried job and earn £400 short of the required income so am looking at getting a small second non-salaried job to boost my income.

For anyone that has closed the distance am I able to combine these 2 earnings to meet the requirement?

Not specifically on UK, but I think they are often after knowing if this is a steady income or not. So if you work an extra job to be able to meet the required income, it would matter if you have a contract on set hours, as opposed to just taking on extra shifts. But what matters more is to meet the income requirement and prefferably be above it.

I am currently working two jobs myself (plus relevant studies) to be able to secure our financial future and meet the future requirements.

Hello, I don't want to discourage you, but as a UK citizen you should have known that it's not easy.And it requires that the other half gain a lot of money and I mean you.I don't know the details but I may ask my boyfriend.I have been refused the entry to the UK recently...... and I hope that you will find a solution to reunite with your love

Hi Hana,
I am very sorry to hear that, and I hope by the time you're reading this you and your SO have found a solution and/or have been reunited again. May I know why did they refuse your application? I understand if it's to private for you to share.

Thank you

The financial requirements at the moment for bringing your SO or any family to the UK are that you must earn £18,600 a year for at least 2 years before you make the application. Savings over £16,000 are taken into account if your salary falls below £18,600. That's about all I know so far, as we haven't reached that point yet. But I am trying to prepare ahead with it in mind.
