Refusal on spouse visa on financial exemption rule.please help.

[Exempt]

Hi there the information on this is documented on here somewhere by Terpe also information from an immigration lawyer to these facts, I am sure if you search then you will see what I mean, as regards to IS then yes if you are entitled to it then this can be used as means of support for yourself as in regards to DLA this can be used by yourself the sponsor as support for your spouse as case law states hope this helps and good luck...

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
If I claimed IS (and declare £150 per month wages to IS) , and re apply for a spouse visa , How many Months wage slips would be sufficient to enclose with application as I would be applying under exemption rules again ???

In principle you will need to evidence both the benefits you receive and your income from salaried employment.

1. Benefits

To evidence UK Maternity Allowance, Bereavement Allowance, Bereavement Payment and Widowed Parent's Allowance (or any UK welfare benefit or tax credit relied upon:

(i) Department for Work and Pensions (or HMRC) documentation confirming the person or their partner is or was in receipt of the benefit in the 12-month period prior to the date of application.

(ii) personal bank statements for the 12-month period prior to the date of application showing the income was paid into the person's account.

2. Salaried Employment

Where the current salaried employment in the UK of the applicant or their partner, parent, parent's partner or sponsor is relied upon all of the following must be provided:

(a) A letter from the employer confirming the employment, the gross annual salary and the annual salary after income tax and National Insurance contributions have been paid, how long the employment has been held, and the type of employment (permanent, fixed-term contract or agency).

(b) Wage slips covering the period of 6 months prior to the date of application or such shorter period as the current employment has been held.

(c) Personal bank statements covering the same period as the wage slips, showing that the salary has been paid into an account in the name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly.
