Spouse visa-savings statement

Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
The solicitor who applied for us did not advise us properly. We applied under Cat A and D. After the refusal i have realised that savings and income cannot be combined if im working for a specified limited company. Also i should have applied under Cat F and G.
I should have just applied under Cat D.
I should have just applied under Cat D.

Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
Ive spoken to a reputable solicitor who has advised me to appeal the allegation that my employment is not genuine. She has said applying again on savings will result in a refusal due to the employment not being genuine. She said the judge knows the law and i have not done anything wrong. This will result in the judge granting my wife her visa. She also added my wife will be granted her visa under the 10 year route.

Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
The best option i think is to reply under Cat D and also to provide detailed information regarding my employment and job role. I will also provide documents under para 9. I will strongly state in the application that i am applying under savings and the reason for the extra documents is due the previous refusal.

Your application has to show clearly that you are applying under savings route only.
If the savings are a gift from your parents then they have to provide a letter stating as such. If the savings are actually savings from employment then you show bank statements to show their build up.
Note: Your new solicitor is also giving you bad advice There is NO 10 year route for initial entry visa..... you either qualify or you don't. If you don't qualify under financial requirements you are refused.

NO,,,, if re-applying under Savings only, you do NOT send documents relating to your employment. This is not necessary, You DO have to show how you obtained the savings.

The solicitor said that when successful, the judge only grants visa under the 10 year route.

Re: Spouse visa-savings statement
If you are applying using savings only (ie. you have 62,500 GBP in hand) you do not have to show any employment..... you could be unemployed now and unemployed when your wife arrives.
I understand you are trying to prove your employment is genuine, but, personally, I think you are only digging a bigger hole for yourself.

If you look at the refusal letter it says “As I am satisfied this employment is non-genuine(see above), I cannot be satisfied by the source of your sponsor cash saving funds”.
This is why im thinking to prove my employment is genuine and the salary which makes up half of my savings is from a genuine source.

How are you going to show the source of your savings?
