Please read the following document carefully to see how your husband can qualify under the financial requirements:

https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...ment_Final.pdf

From what you write above you do not appear to understand the requirements.

You cannot apply providing just three months of income and then using past self employment income.

You can use savings to make up a shortfall in earning, but there is no 18,600 GBP savings figure to qualify.

I have read it. What about this statement then?



5.3. Category B: Less than 6 months with current employer or
variable income – person residing in the UK
5.3.1. This category can be used where the applicant’s partner (and/or the applicant if they are
in the UK with permission to work) is in salaried or non-salaried employment at the date
of application, but has not been with the same employer and/or not earning the income
level relied upon in the application for at least 6 months prior to the date of application. It
can therefore be used by those who have been with their current employer for less than
6 months, or who have been with their current employer for at least 6 months but
earning a variable income and wish to be considered in this category rather than under
Category A.

Under Category B, the financial requirement must be met and evidenced in two parts.
5.3.4. First, where the applicant’s partner and/or the applicant (if they are in the UK with
permission to work) is in salaried employment at the date of application and has been
with the same employer, or earning the amount relied upon, for less than the last 6
months, they can count the gross annual salary at the date of application towards the
Appendix FM 1.7: Financial Requirement
August 2017

5.3.9. Second, the person must in addition have received in the 12 months prior to the
date of application the level of income required to meet the financial requirement,
based on:
 The gross amount of salaried or non-salaried employment income of the applicant’s
partner (in the UK or overseas) and/or the applicant (if they are in the UK with
permission to work);
 The gross amount of any specified non-employment income received by the
applicant’s partner, the applicant or both jointly, provided they continue to own the
relevant asset (e.g. property, interest from shares) at the date of application; and/or
 The gross amount of any State (UK or foreign), occupational or private pension
received by the applicant’s partner or the applicant.

financial requirement. There is no required minimum period for this current employment,
provided that the requirements for specified evidence under paragraph 2 of Appendix
FM-SE can be met in respect of it.


Case studies – Category B: Less than 6 months with current employer or variable
income – person residing in the UK
Example (a)
The applicant’s partner works in the UK. She started a new job 3 months prior to the date of
application and her gross annual salary is £22,000. She meets part (1) of the calculation for
Category B because she is in salaried employment at the date of application and her gross
annual salary at the date of application meets the financial requirement.
In addition, she must have received in the 12 months prior to the application the level of
income required to meet part (2) of the calculation for Category B. Before starting her new
job, she worked for another company for 7 months during the last 12 months. Including her
Appendix FM 1.7: Financial Requirement

current and previous job, the total amount she has earned from employment in the last 12
months is £20,000.
The financial requirement is met under Category B because the applicant’s partner is
currently in a job paying at least £18,600 a year and has earned more than £18,600 from
employment in the last 12 months.

You said your husband was self employed before this current job.

You can't use past self employment income with current employment income.

In the example you show the applicant is currently employed and for the previous 12 months was also employed (ie. working as an employee for a company).

Hi, was wondering if you could help me please. I've applied for my husband who lives in Riyadh. He went for his biometrics 2 weeks ago but got a call from the embassy yesterday asking for the documents. The documents have already been sent to Sheffield by me through a lawyer. Is this call a standard call or should I be worried?
Did you give your documents to Sheffield or in Riyadh when you went for biometrics?
Looking forward to hearing back from you. Thanks

Mrs.E

I am hoping someone may be able to clarify.

From what I recall on the online application, it asks for your previous passports (if any) in the last 10 years.
So I only submitted the 3 passports that I held in the past 10 years - is this going to be accepted or should I have provided passports from before 10 years?

Thank you in advance

Mrs. E,
Not sure how much help this is.. but the lady at VFS didn't even want to take my old passport (I insisted she take it), so maybe it's not a big deal (? - I don't really know).
I did say that I had included a photocopy of my old passport with my application.

You’ve answered your own question.

Mrs.E

Thank you, BritInParis
I know it sounded like a silly question, but people seem to be sending ALL their previous passports, so it got me a bit worried

Mrs.E

Sorry, em28! I didn't see your response!
Thats odd that she didn't want to take it
The first question I got asked was "how many passports are you submitting?"
Good thing you insisted!!
