How much income do I need to have?

[aiden]

Is the figure £18,600 Gross or Net pay?

and also

If Im unable to earn £18,600 from one position, is it possible for me to obtain a 2nd position, part time work on the weekend and make it up to £18,600

This is my plan,
MOnday to Friday work full time earn about £15,000 per year (gross)

Sat and Sun - work part time earn about £5,000 - £6,000 pounds per year

Plus get my mum to put in a sponsorship too to make the application more stronger.


After my wife comes here with our two british kids my wife will work weekends and i can then look after the kids on the weekends.

What do you think ? is it possible?

..Is the figure £18,600 Gross or Net pay?

It's gross annual income.

..If Im unable to earn £18,600 from one position, is it possible for me to obtain a 2nd position, part time work on the weekend and make it up to £18,600

Yes, provided both positions meet the requirements of the category you are applying under.

..Plus get my mum to put in a sponsorship too to make the application more stronger.

Third party sponsorship is NOT allowed.
Of course you may live in your Mum's house etc, but she is not allowed to provide any financial support.

..After my wife comes here with our two british kids my wife will work weekends and i can then look after the kids on the weekends.

Nothing wrong with that, but it has no influence or impact on the Spouse visa application.
Your wife's income can be counted when you apply for FLR after 30 months.

..What do you think ? is it possible?

Yep. It's possible.

Aiden, it's really important that you do some self-research.
No-one here is a qualified immigration advisor, we can only point you in the direction and help you with very specific questions on the understanding of UKBA rules.

Terpe thank you so much. Ive been researching and researching alot but sometimes it doesnt make sense to me. This is why im asking experienced people on this forum for some help and advice.

Please could you explain what you meant by the above?

The Financial Requirement has listed a number of different income sources.
Each income source has a couple of different categories, with variations in what's allowed and what is not.
There are also rules on which categories may be combined and which may not.
Kind of matrix approach.

You really do need to read those parts that apply to your own specific circumstances.

Just as a 'pointer' Aiden, my guess is that your main source would be Earned Income. There are 2 categories (A & B) each category indicates the specific requirements and what other categories may be combined.
