Not sure you are correct on the type of work he needs to find, Joe.Originally Posted by joebloggs
he needs a job, because he will have to pay for 2 settlement visas and 2 flights for you and your son , which must be near £2000
he should try and avoid agency or contract work, he needs a permanent job, especially if he's sponsoring 2 of you
how old is your son, is his father named on his birth cert? - you need to show you have sole responsibility for your son.
you will get your visa, you just need time and money and a job
I have been doing only agency work for years now
Finding a salaried job is almost impossible these days, I think a person should go down the agency route first until he/she can be financially safe and then look for a salary job if there is one available.
I think the ECO will look at the 6 months' bank statements and see lots of regular payments in.
I have always felt that having a bank balance in the black (not in the red) over the time of the 6 months showing regular payments in is so important.
Of course, if he can get a salaried job that would be great, but from what I have seen here in the West Midlands, there are hundreds of people applying for every job.
