My husband received this email last August 6, 2013.
UKBA Manila said that my spouse visa decision was put on hold due to these reasons:


Dear Ms XXXXX,


Your application for entry clearance under Appendix FM to the Immigration Rules has been considered.. Your application falls to be refused solely because you do not meet the income threshold requirement under Appendix FM and/or the related evidential requirements under Appendix FM-SE.

Lacking in sufficient specified evidence:

1.Salaried employment : No letter from employer confirming permanent job and current salary. Bank statements and payslips cover the period 14/12/12/ - 14/5/13 but submitted app online on 29/6 so more than month old.

√ Check. He sent all the documents already.


2. Other income: Bank statements show a regular payment into sponsor's account but there is no supporting documentation. Tenancy agreement and tax return on this income required.

√ We were renting out one of our spare room to one of our good friend. Tenancy agreement sent. No tax return as it not necessary according to UK law..


3.Savings: Bank statements do not cover a 6 month period. The balance in the period covered falls to 207.42 (21/12/12). To meet shortfall in income, sponsor would need to show shortfall in income multiplied by 2.5 plus £16,000. Even the highest point balance of account does not meet this figure

- Why do we need to meet this?
My husband is earning 1750 to 1900 per month after tax.
Is that not sufficient enough to meet the financial requirement of £18,600?
I dont get it.. :(
