I have a question regarding my wife’s visa extension that expires in sept 2020. I’m a British citizen and currently out of job (Break) due to COVID - 19. My wife is currently working in her fathers company as a permanent employee for the past 2 years. She has been earning £20k for the past 11 months. I’m not sure when I will be back in a new job.

My questions
- Can she meet the financial requirements in Category A or any other category?
- or is her wages not valid as she works for a family member(Father)?

I have posted a question and cant find the post now so I have started a new thread, apologies if thats the wrong process here.

Hi Admins,

I have posted a question and cant find the post now so I have started a new thread, apologies if thats the wrong process here.

Background - Previous post/question was is it ok for my wife to use her pay for visa extension as she works in her fathers company - but one of the members replied that it was ok but lot of document required under Category F. So I have ditched that idea as I'm not very comfortable to request/dig into my father-in-laws company accounts. So just want to weigh my options here. Please bare with me if this is a long post.

My wife's visa expires on 09/2020 and Im planning to apply around 20th of August as I get paid every month approx between 10th to 14th of every month.

I a British citizen currently work for a company since Sept 2018, its client based work and I dont get paid a fixed amount and my income varies every month. Some facts below

- Total amount for the last 12 months is over 18600 around 24k
- Total amount for the last 6 months (Mar-Aug) is approx 14k
- All gross payments reflect on my payslip and bank statement
- Last 12 months gross approximate wages
- Sept - 1150
- Oct - 1350
- Nov - 1200
- Dec - No pay
- Jan - 5900
- Feb - 1350
- Mar - 1200
- Apr - 1650
- May - 1250
- Jun - 7000
- Jul - 1250
- Aug - 1300

My Questions -
1. When is the earliest I can apply?
2. Is NET or GROSS wages counted towards the requirement?
3. Which category do I now fall under? Im thinking Category A non-salaried but not sure.
4. Do I have to show 6 months payslip or 12 months? - Please note I did not get paid in DEC.
5. Do i fall under Non-salaried or variable income. Which category. Very confused.

Thanks a lot in advance.

It's hard to give complete and accurate advice if you keep changing how you describe your current employment situation. You would have to be employed at the date of application with income meeting the financial requirement to use Category A or B.

So based on all replies and that Im employed at the the time of application i.e 20th August i can use Category A non salaried right. As long as my wages are over 10k for the last 6 months regardless of variable income, am I good to apply under Category A like mentioned in the earlier post?

Yes, provided you remained employed with the same employer for that six months as seagul mentioned and those wages applied to the six months prior to the application date.

Just one more question. Will the increase in gross of 7000 for the month of June cause any issue or raise any question even-though its genuine?

Also, My wife entered the country on 30th Jan 2018 the earliest we can apply is July 2 2020 onwards? (30 days before 30 months from the date of entry)

That unexpected aggrandizement over your wages obviously won't be ignored which must be itemized on the payslip as what is it actually such as bonuses, special allowance, wages arrears, compensation etc. If so then it might not cause any issue but UKVI caseworker might approach to you or your employer. Also UKVI liaise with HMRC as well.
