I dont know where you got this info. Is this per year or on the duration of 5 yrs stay in the uk? Do you have the govt links? I thought all you needed was the 5 yrs plus the life in the uk test?
See the link below it all depends on your situation what visa and the costs are. Are you talking about tier 2 https://www.google.com.ph/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.workpermit.com/news/uk-tier-2-visa-immigrants-must-earn-%C2%A335000-settle-april-2016-20150707&ved=0ahUKEwjQq_XYnPPTAhVFUrwKHVx7C1oQFggaMAA&usg=AFQjCNH_UYnGmDSEKWZ5avdAqmtIKF3_xw
@Mattecube so this doesnt apply to majority of us here who is under the flr (m). I only saw tier2 visa on the news.
Correct those earnings are for people who want to be employed in the UK in their own right.if you are on say a Spouse Visa there is no bottom line or ceiling of earnings, except for the sponsor that is.
phew I read it last night online and was really worried as we are only about to start the whole process and I thought that would ruin the whole thing before we even started!
actually--when i first read about the £35k rule for working visas i thought it was a bit harsh. but not now. the UK has all the low paid EU immigrants it can use--so better to target the better qualified skilled high earners.
hi well we plan to marry in feb 2018 and then after her name is changed on the passport to her married name and we have the marriage certificate then will start the application process and hope to bring her her later next year if all goes well
She doesn't need to change her name on her passport. Much more important things to do. You will need the marriage cert from the NSO though.
Most important part is the NSO marriage cert which will take longer. Once that is done, you can start processing the visa. 2018 is a long way to go but its good that you are planning that far ahead and checking all that is required.
Would be nice to change her name while she is in the Philippines since its much easier to do it there so that's a good decision. Still a long way for next year but time flies. Just study the process so it will be easy for you when you cross the bridge.
No name change needed as said more important things to crack on with. We married in 2014 my wife's passport runs out in 2018 she has passed through immigration 6 times since married on the passport and marriage certificate. No issues
I would certainly change the passport to the married name if there was time to do it before leaving the Philippines, saves the hassle of renewing it in the UK at the Philippine Embassy in London (2 - 3 month wait) and the £243 or so cost of renewing the BRP once the passport doesn't match the BRP name. Certainly worth considering if time permits but not a necessity as said.
although this forum is a wealth of useful and of course essential information I am I admit starting to struggle with it all with regard to all the paperwork my fiancé and I both have to have and when and what forms to fill in and when and where to send them off etc etc etc and given that any error with missing paperwork or even it seems the slightest error on my/our part could result in a negative result, has anyone on here come up with say a timed linear diagram of procedures from start to finish just as a bit of a visual guide/checklist of the whole process?...its not that I'm being lazy but bearing in mind the importance of 'getting it right' I'm sort of considering trying to find a reliable third party that could help and advise with the whole process.Any recommendations or helpful ideas would be gratefuly received.
Take a step back would be my advice, forget about the visa process for a week or so, it is daunting at first but I assure you it will get easier. Take a look at the link below, this will give you an outline of the process, I think it is probably true to say that most of us here on the forum started with this thread. You will feel better about the visa process once you have researched the process. If you do reach the conclusion that its too much for you then you can always seek advice from a Immigration advisor.
