Hi, as many of you know already, im going to be applying for a spouse visa. I have appreciated the wealth of knowledge that this site has given me.

Soooooo, Im applying the 31st Jan and up to that date I would of earrnt in excess of the financial requirment with overtime and commission. Now I understand that to apply under cat b, it has to be evidenced in 2 parts. That you have earnt the min requirement prior to application date and secondly that you are earning it after. So my thoughts are that with my app date being the 31st Jan I can easily evidence the first part for the second part heres my thinking - I will have a letter from my employer confirming amount earnt before and up to 31st Jan then I will have a letter confirming the salary I am on from 1st Feb onwards and also stating that I am contractualy entitled to commission. On the 15th Feb, I know I will be paid my bonus, which if added to the basic salary I will be on already exceeds the £18600 for the 12months after application date.

Will this work? Also the date you apply online does that count as the app date or the date you submit your docs?

Thankyou in advance for your help!
