Hello..

I am confuse about financial category (A or B) i should rely in my wife's visa application. I am working with same employer since 3 years and wages are variable depend on hours i do each month. Gross wages of last 6 months before application are as under.

Sep 2014: £3129.76
Oct 2014: £2435.66
Nov 2014: £3139.50
Dec 2014: £2697.50
Jan 2015: £3620.50
Feb 2015: £637.00 (i worked only 1 week this month)

Please advice me which Category should we tick, Cat A or Cat B ?

Well it seems to me that unless you are a non-salaried worker, you will need to rely on Category B, which is your earning over the 12 months preceding the application.

Otherwise, if you are non-salaried, it will be the average weekly earning over 26 weeks multiply by 52, or total earning over 26 weeks divide by 6 and multiply by 12.

If your pay is directly related to the number of hours you work, you are non-salaried. If you get paid a set salary and then get paid additionally for hours worked over the minimum (or if you don't get paid more for working more hours), you are salaried. These definitions having nothing to do with immigration...

Thanks physicskate for your kind reply..

From this definition i am non-salaried employ. just one last simple question is, where do i tick in the visa application form as i can not see non-salaried in options? Visa application shot and my employment history given in earlier posts. i am with the same employer since 3 years.

Regards

Just tick Cat A,don't worry about salaried or not,they'll know from the letter from your employer.

There is nothing to tick to confirm non salaried employment. Just make it explicit in the 'additional information' box at the end of the form and perhaps on your supporting letter.

I was in non salaried employment when I sponsored my husband - to ensure that was clear I also created a spreadsheet detailing the gross and net pay I received each week and calculated my average pay across the 6 months to evidence that I met the annual amount required. This is not necessary but it gave me peace of mind that it was explicit.

Thanks for your detail reply SoHopeful. I will explain it in my sponsor letter.

There is a different evidential burden for Cat A salaried and Cat A non - salaried.

That distinction may not be obvious to an ECO, especially if the non salaried worker receivrd pay on a monthly basis.

Therefore I beg to disagree with those that have suggested that Cat A salaried and CAT A non salaried is a distinction without substance .
