    Hi tony yes it is true that you need to show your last 6 months wage slips i think im right in saying that the eco will not accept just one payslip even if it is your last payslip

    True, but some have got away with less, though ideally you are correct. ...Not easy if you're doing agency work, like Tony.

    thats true sim but knowing how the eco keep tot he rules i very much doubt one payslip w ould be enough better to have submit everything they ask for as a refusal for not submitting everything that is asked for is an awfull financial loss to someone such as tony

    yes sim he may be able to get away with 3 payslips but i am a bit worried with tonys situation regarding work & finances to be refused over payslips may put him back in getting a spouse visa financially for quite a while i think he needs to apply when he is sure everything is in order & confident that a refusal will be very unlikely

    spouse visa is easier to get than a family visit visa ?

    yeah i think spouse visa is the easier option as long as u got genuine relationship,accommodation,6months bank statements without overdrawn.
    but on the other hand visit visa will just confuse the ECO as you said you want your wife to stay with her family? accomodations and will provide her stay here in the Uk,,,well in fact she is married to you and you should be the one sponsoring her to settle or visit?

    I was reading Tony's and his wife's posts yesterday on this subject and to me, it all sounded if it was all hanging by a thread. Yes The spouse visa for most of us on here was the way to go. Im now putting myself in Tony's shoes. I know the cap doesn't fit, i know I dont tick all the boxes for that visa. But, i have an ace up my sleeve. My wife has a sister close by. I would use the family visit visa option like Joe first stated in the 2nd post Yes its a gamble but what other option have you got. Unless the question is asked you do not have to mention or, rather your wife does not mention you. It all looks fragile to me so, drastic measures are called for. Take Joe's advice, go for the family visit visa and dont mention you or your wife being married. Good luck Tony and wife

    my stepson been here since april, he had to leave his wife and his then 16 month old daughter, last dec his wife gave birth to his son, he'll see his son, daughter and wife at the end of march, thats nearly 1yr since he last saw them but he knows it been at least a year or more b4 they are togther permenantly.

    the problem with agency work its not a permenant job, yes some have got away with 3 pay slips but i think they had permenant jobs with contract of employment...

    Gonna have a rant here, this is one thing that me off!...I don't have any payslips, as I'm now self employed. It's fairly seasonal too, so not much money has been coming in recently, though I can prove money was previously coming in...I've got a job to do starting monday, which will take 6-8 weeks, so no money until the end of that...Then hopefully a trip to the Philippines, then more work booked up at the end of April onwards.

    I don't have any credit card debts, don't claim any benefits, have supported Ladybug, for at least 18 months, probably longer (she dosen't live with family) but presumably, on paper, I'm a bad risk, when applying for the spouse visa?... We haven't applied before, for various reasons, but want to now.

    ...Likewise, Tony can't get a full time job at the moment, so he's doing the next best thing agency work, but it seems it still may not be good enough?

    The system stinks!
