Advice for cat b

Hello to all,

I want advice from seniors Please help me. My first application was refused in 2013.
Because of minimum income law. I want to reapply now .It's been eight years since my first application was refused ok My concern is i meet my wife 4 years ago she last visit me in 2016 she had some health issues.

Would it be better to meet again before reapplying or its ok? i have all the record of our Conversation during these whole time like whatsapp and viber video and audio call screenshot and some money receipts she send me.

I would be very grateful for your advice.

Is your wife a UK citizen? I only ask for clarity and it is you not your wife that is applying for the spouse visa.

It is going to be very difficult to say there is a subsisting marriage if you have not been together in 5 years. Every scrap of evidence you can submit to show that your relationship is ongoing will help your claim.

Is the salary requirement now being met?

Thanks for your reply sir,

yes she is a british citizen. and yes its me who applying for.

she doing a second job for meet the minimum income its over then 18600.

CAT B has two conditions which must be fuifled and it not based on the question above. It is based on whether you are salaried or un- salaried since both are calculated differently.

Are you currently salaried or un salaried?

CAT B is much more complicated since you have to fulfil 2 conditions. You have an option to apply under CAT A by combining both income together since you have been with both employer for longer than 6 months.

The non salaried job is calculated by working out the average of the last 6 months divide it by 6 x 12
The salaried job is calculated by taking the lowest salary in the last 6 months and add both total together.

use the above formula first to see if you will get £18,600 when combining both income together.

so in sample ways your saying i cannot combine salary and non salary income in cat B.

Thanks very much for yours advice.

I have never said you can't combine both jobs under CAT B!! Please read what was said above. CAT B has two condition which must be fulfilled and requires you to provide payslips covering the periods of 12 months rather than CAT A where 6 months payslips are required.

You can combine both jobs to meet the requirement assuming you can fulfil both conditions of CAT B. You have two jobs which are salaried and un-salaried, you will need to use each formula where the recent income will be multiply by 12 assuming you are paid monthly or 52 if paid weekly and un-salaried formula is mentioned in the guidance.

(Total gross income from non-salaried employment in the period prior to the date of
application for which that employment has been held) divided by the number of
months and multiplied by 12 (or by the number of weeks and multiplied by 52 where
payment is weekly, or by the number of days and multiplied by 365 where payment
is daily) = Income from non-salaried employment that can be counted towards the
financial requirement.
