Hello everybody, im new in this forum so i hope someone can help me with this enquiry i have.
Last september i got my uk spouse visa rejected and it was devastating as we were so confident that we met every requirement for this visa, and we had to wait for a whole year to have all the requirements, anyway it was rejected just for one single reason: FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT, despite my husband earns 18,700 pounds per year, this is 1,558.33 per month.
My husbands GROSS SALARY is 1,558.33 every single month and this is shown on his payslips, after his GROSS SALARY he gets deducted his pension contribution and this comes down to 1,527 as taxable pay, this is also shown on his payslips. So ECO took into account taxable pay instead of GROSS SALARY. I was wondering if this is actually how they calculate the 18,600 to meet the financial or they made a mistake in the calculation.
I have read the whole appendix FM and i didnt find anything about it, they just keep mentioning gross salary so this is quite confusing for me.
We want to reapply but with a strong employment letter, where his manager mentions all about his gross pay and the way to read the payslips, very very detailed as well as my husbands cover letter, he will write a very detailed letter explaining very carefully his salary, we are even thinking to higlight his gross salary on his payslips.
i would appreciate if someone has knowledge about this to give me an advice or opinion about our situation. i would appreciate it with all my heart!
Thanks in advance.
