Yes we are in similar positions. Bur i have two children with British passports. I am just worried that the Eco will try and say that i have to earn more than the £18600 to bring them etc. Getting a bit paranoid i know. It's so stressful. I am sure mine will be a test case. Let's see.
Dont worry, I'll try and dig out the UKBA statement which clearly states that children holding British passports are not subject to the additional financial requirements. You have enough to worry about. I think Terpe posted it once also, maybe worth a search.
One thing I did hear and stress this is purely anectdotal is that if the child leaves the Phils on a British passport they can be fined as overstayers since birth??!!!! My son has a Filipino passport also so will leave on that and arrive in the UK on his British so no issues (I hope) Good luck.
Yes i have raised that issue on this forum. But everyone seems positive and never had any issue bringing them to you UK as they were born in philippines and have a birth certificate. But if anyone knows any differen't i would be most interested.
Children who hold British Passports do not need any visa to enter UK.Originally Posted by sheldon1
There is no financial requirement for them.
Thanks Terpe. You mentioned on another post. 0 hours contracts. Have you got any info on this. Cos thats what i am on at work. Any clarification regarding this?
Sheldon, I have followed your journey. It's been a long and difficult one and I respect your dedication and positive outlook. Well done
Now, regarding your contract of employment, are you saying that you too are now employed on a 'zero-hours' contract??
This is not as uncommon as you may think.
I have been helping some folks in this same situation. It really shouldn't present a major barrier, especially now that caseworkers will revert back to evidential flexibility.
The key issue is having an employer/HR dept who is open to providing a letter of compliance that simply confirms:-
a) past payment history since adoption of zero-hours contract
b) future budgeted/expected hours
Don't forget that UKBA can only make determinations on historical data. No employer can give any guaranteed future employment or pay details.
To be honest Sheldon, I have not so far seen any refusals solely due to this type of contract.
I've also strongly suggested an explanatory statement from both sponsor (you) and employer.
I must also be fair to you and state that I have not been involved in applications that could be considered 'marginal' (ie just about on the lower limit of £18600 income. Most have been around £20,000 or more.
Hope this allays any nagging doubts on your side.
Thank you Terpe. My issues are that my Employer will confirm my hourly rate, i work 60 hours a week. I am permanent how long i have been employed there. I have regular overtime when available. But will not state how much i earn in the year. But i have the payslips 6 of them. All meeting the required £1550 or more. In fact my gross so far this year is just under £16000. So after Decembers pay i will nearly of reached the £18600 threshold.
As you know Terpe it says . Salaried,Fix Term,Agency. I don't believe i am any of them. I called A.C.A.S and they suggested Salaried. But which box do i tick? You mentioned new rules soon. Maybe they will clarify more then
Sheldon, as it stands right now category A
As far as the new changes go, we wait to see the real meaning.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Due out on 13th December. Watch this space.

Goodluck!
