4 weekly calculations

Davee31 · Post by **Davee31** » Sun Mar 14, 2021 7:13 pm

Hello
So myself (sponsor) and my wife (applicant) are applying for her visa renewal. I work full time and come just under the minimum requirement and my wife has been working for her current employer for what will be 28 weeks (just over 6 months) at the time of renewal. The problem is if you select earn different amounts and under requirement it then asks for 12 months. My wife was put on furlough and then the place she worked got closed down during the coronavirus lockdown.

Would her supplying 6 months be acceptable or even possible or should she include what she was getting while on furlough and go category b? I could supply 12 months no problem. We was aiming to apply category a non salaried. Thanks for any advice in advance.

Both of you only required 6 months payslips each and the form has been designed to require payslips covering 12 months periods which is linked to CAT B upon select option 2,3,4 except for option 1 and sometime option also ask you to provide payslips covering 12 months period so it is poorly designed application form.

See Appendix FM-SE

"a) Payslips covering:
(i) a period of 6 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for at least 6 months"

Thank you very much for your reply, if I can ask one more question. Both me and my wife are paid 4 weekly. The way I did the math first time around was finding the average for 1 week from 7 wageslips (28 weeks) and multiplying it by 52. Done this way I myself meet the requirement but if done using my last 6 payslips I would be under. I looked through the Appendix and couldn't find any real confirmation on how they calculate 4 weekly and I'm fearful that if the person checking my application does it using the last 6 payslips then she would be refused so decided to use the lower result joined together definitely meeting the minimum requirement but giving them 7 payslips for their own calculations. Does this sound right? If not is there any confirmation in the Appendix that I may have missed that I could challenge if done a different way?

Are you salaried or Un-salaried?

No need to open another thread.

You have used the correct formula used by the UKVI to calculate 4 weekly pay and this is based on many previous refusal and also ensure that your employer clarify you are paid 4 weekly.

Sorry, don't use these forums too often, thought because it was a new question that I needed to do it as a new thread. Thank you and appreciate your help.

Trying to get everything scanned ready for the application, can I ask if there's file size limitations when uploading documents, if so what's the best recommendation for a app or platform that reduces the file size.

TODMATT · Post by **TODMATT** » Fri Apr 02, 2021 10:18 am

6mb and use Ilovepdf to reduce the file size of your documents

So, got to the UKVAS page for biometrics and they're all fully booked other then 2 which say a day past the valid date. Will earlier dates be made randomly available or is it only whats on the site right now.

What do you mean 'dates past the valid date'??

Davee31 · Post by **Davee31** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 11:13 am

Sorry passed the valid date of her visa.

That's fine. The date of application is the date you submit and pay online, not the biomtric appointment, which can be after visa expiry date.

Okay thank you, managed to book one a long drive from where I live but happy to have the appointment. Hopefully the final question on here. I'm uploading my documents, would it be a problem to upload multiple documents (eg bank statements, wageslips) into a single pdf file with multiple pages so that it's easier for them to navigate through, also struggling a bit what categories to put everything but I'm thinking as long as I upload everything it should be okay?

UKVI know what to look for. No need for you to put documents into a sequence or format you think is relevant. Your uploaded file cannot be larger than 6MB.

also struggling a bit what categories to put everything but I'm thinking as long as I upload everything it should be okay?
