I am in a very similar situation. I work in the security industry i can do as many shifts as i require. I will earn over the £18600 mark by april 2013. So i will have 12 months payslips & my p60 should show this. I will be out of my overdraft by october maybe november this year. I wiill have been in my job in april nearly 2 years. My employer is willing to give me a letter regarding my earnings should be around £20.000 ish. Contracted to work 60 hours a week. My children were born in the philippines but we are currently seeking british passports for them. I will have been in my house which is rented 1 year in march. So as i see it, in simple terms i just apply for my wife as a spouse. And show earnings for the year in april for £18600. Jobs a good en!!!!!!. I don.t need to earn anymore for my 2 kids as they are british. And i can claim child benefit for them etc. My wife can work, but i cannot claim anything for her.

Have i got everyhting right there?

Have i missed anything?....
