HELP! Employment letter for UK spouse Visa
Hi! I have a question regarding the employment letter we were planning to provide for our spouse visa application. I am a US citizen and my husband is a UK citizen.
We had his employer draft up a letter and post it to us with a wet signature as I am heading out of the of the UK from visiting him tomorrow to begin my application. I have realised there is a detail missing from the employment letter we received. the requirements in the appendix state the employer letter should have all of the following:
This is the letter we have ready to provide:
This is of course dated and on letter head paper. My concern is it does not state how long he has been earning the current salary. There is no way we ca have an updated one posted to us before I leave. I am sure we could have one sent to us with an electronic signature, but my understanding is that electronic signatures for the employer letter are not accepted. Is that true? If not is it going to be detrimental to our application if it does not state how long he has been earning this salary.
Thanks in advance

Re: HELP! Employment letter for UK spouse Visa
Doesn't your husband have his pay slips going back a year or more that prove his pay level independent of the information being in the letter?
