Could someone please tell me if Immigration take into consideration overtime when applying for a spouse visa. I work full time on a 40 hour contract with a salary of £17,000 but, as i work in the care sector, I am obliged to do compulsory overtime, such as residential sleepins. With this overtime, I make in excess of £20,000 which can be proven by my pay statements. I e-mailed Immigration about this and all they said was that the decision would be made by the Clearance Officer after he had received our application.
