IMPORTANT READ THIS 'Statement of intent: Family migration'

[andy222]

OMG I cant believe how drastic the financial changes are, previously I earnt enough to pass the financial criteria but now Im earning a lot less then is required.

I was married in May, and Im already missing my wife so much...was preparing documents for visa application but what now, does this mean she will never be able to join me here in the UK? Im so angry and depressed at this, seems like my whole worlds caved in. :-( :-( :-(

Same here I will never earn that much again my wife is distraught. And if I ever do they will raise the bar again.

Any chance of a part time job to make up the shortfall Andy?

I dont think so Andy. I didnt submit my P60. Reasons:

a] The tax and NI paid and income received was on the payslips that I submitted.

b] I only receive a P60 once a year in April or thereabouts. And my wife's application went in in September.

got to be careful of the following,,

EXAMPLE SCENARIOS FOR A FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT OF £18,600
Sponsor in the UK
1.
Leon
Leon works in a bank in the UK earning £19,000 a year. He has been with the bank for over a year. Leon will meet the financial requirement using Option A.
If Leon had been promoted into his current role within the last 6 months from a salary of £15,000, he would not be able to use this option. Leon would either have to wait until he had completed 6 months at his new salary of £19,000, or use non-employment income or savings as well.

In that example Leon qualifies after 6 months at the required gross salary. He would most likely NOT have a P60 reflecting that evidence.
The P60 is only issued once a year and shows only the previous tax year earnings and tax paid etc. So not much use.

"P60 (if this has been issued)"

so P60's are not a specific requirement. They are only useful if you have one or more that show your gross income is at or above the requirement.

Interesting question. I don't know the answer to that. I am guessing no. And if you tried to include it then you might end up paying tax on it (if you see what I mean?).

You sound like you aren't too far short of the magic number?
