hello all,
i am bit curious with the different rules mentioned in the Appendix FM,
MY CASE IS I DIDNT MET THE FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT OF 18600 PER ANNUM, AS I ONLY PROVIDED THEM WITH 6 MONTHS PAYSLIPS WITH AGGREGATED TO A TOTAL OF 6598.00, MEANING ANNUAL SALARY OF 13198.
POINT IS I AM ON A HOURLY BASED(36 HOUR CONTRACT, BUT USUALLY HAVE REGULAR OVERTIME) FULL TIME PERMANENT EMPLOYEE WORKING FOR THE SAME COMPANY FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS,
AS MY SALARY FOR 6 MONTHS IS NOT MEETING FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT, BUT IF I PUT ALL MY 12 MONTHS PAYSLIPS PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION DATE ( IE IF I GO FOR A FRESH APPLICATION,---PAYSLIPS FROM DEC2013--NOV2014 IS ACCUMALATING TO A TOTAL OF 19800 PER ANNUAL YEAR, I CAN SUPPORT THESE WITH A P60 2013/14 ),
IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE FOR APPLYING UNDER CATEGORY A OR CATEGORY B,
I CAME ACROSS THESE STATEMENTS IN THE APPENDIX FM REGARDING CATEGORY B
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 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.
5.3.5. Gross income from non-salaried employment will be counted on the same basis as income
from salaried employment where the person has been with the same employer, or earning
the amount relied upon, for less than 6 months at the date of application.
5.3.6. Non-salaried employment includes that paid at an hourly or other rate (and the number
and/or pattern of hours required to be worked may vary) or paid an amount which varies
according to the work undertaken. Salaried employment includes that paid at a minimum
fixed rate (usually annual) which is usually subject to a contractual minimum number of
hours to be worked.
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);
CAN YOU PLEASE SUGGEST ME WHETHER AM I QUALIFY UNDER CATEGORY B ( BUT I AM EMPLOYED WITH PRESENT COMPANY FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS ).
YOUR SUGGESTIONS MUCH APPRECIATED
THANK YOU
PRAWIN
