Halimat · Post by **Halimat** » Fri Oct 23, 2020 1:29 am

Hi ,

I hope I am asking the questions in the right thread..

I am due to apply for an extension of my husband's spouse visa.

I have however not be able to secure a permanent job. I'd like to kindly check if I can apply with the following payslips under Category B:

Feb 2019: Maternity Allowance: £594
March 2019 : Maternity Allowance: £594
April 2019: Maternity Allowance: £382
May 2019: nil
June - September: Contract job on a weekly pay summing up to £5659
October 2020 to Jan 2021: Starting another contract job £9.50 paid weekly for at least 12 weeks hopefully summing up to £4104 . My husband and I have got the same job so this will be multiplied by two. Total is £8208.
Second job for me alone for the same period £9.11 for 12 weeks is £4372.
My husband is also an accessor for a university and is being paid per number of scripts marked. He has earned £4000 from May -Dec 2020.

Total of all is ££23809

He will be applying with our son so the financial threshold is £22400.

Can we combine all these income to meet the requirements under Category 2 please?

Total is

For category B you and/or your partner must have earned at least £22400 during the last 12 months counting from the date of application. Also, you and/or your partner must have been employed at an income of at least £22400 at the time of application. Have a look on the following guidance to know more about it and other possible ways to meet the requirement:

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... gov-uk.pdf

If the child is British citizen then the threshold will be £18600.

Hi, thanks alot.

For Category B:

Part A: we should have earned at least £22400 in the last 12 months. I am sure we meet this part.

Part B : So does that mean at the time of the application we must have a full time permanent job that states that we earn at least £22400 combined? Or does that mean that we can meet the Part B even with contract jobs paid weekly ?

My husband has been offered a job which pays him £2300 per annum. He will prefer to continue with the temporary weekly one which we both do from home. However we will like to know if we will meet Part B of category B before he turns down the job offer .

Our son is not a British citizen

I will look forward to your kind response.

Both jobs are acceptable, albeit, through permanent job which often is a salaried job makes the calculations relatively easier, where the income level at the time of application is mattered instead following the none-salaried income calculations.

Perhaps you mean that the new job offer will pay £23000 per annum. One point is noteworthy, that for meeting the financial requirement, it is not mandatory whether the job is temporary or permanent provided the required level of threshold getting met.

Thank you for your kind response. I have tried to do the calculations using the non-salaried income and I figured out that we will still meet up if we delay our application till January. Their visa expires in February so we are fine.

I will try to apply for exemption to pay for the application fees close to the time of application. I am hoping that it will be granted.

I have just one more question please. Their passports have expired and the Nigerian Embassy have still not gotten back to us with an interview date. So we could apply with the expired passport and explain the reasons for this right ?

Can he still use his old UK Naric Exemption Certificate that he used before ? The Certificate of Compatibility was issued the first time so I believe that should be sufficient?

Once more thanks for your help. It's being invaluable.

Yes, and supply details or documents of correspondence with the embassy to show you have actually made efforts to get a new valid passport.

Remember that date of the submission of application is the date of application, therefore, make sure to have earned/have been earning sufficiently till/on that date.

Hi,

Thank you for your help so far.

This is a breakdown of our payslips:

Jan 2019: Maternity Allowance : £594
Feb 2019: Maternity Allowance: £594
March 2019: Maternity Allowance: £594
April 2019: Maternity Allowance: £382
May 2019: nil
1. w/e 29/05/20-£148.80
2. w/e 05/06/20-£297.60
3. w/e12/06/20-£372.00
4. w/e 19/06/20-£334.80
5. w/e 26/06/20- £308.40
6. w/e 10/07/20-£395.25
7. w/e 17/07/20- £385.95
8. w/e 24/07/20-£372
9. w/e 31/07/20- £468
10. w/e 07/08/20-£420
11. w/e 14/08/20- £420
12. w/e 21/08/20-£420
13. w/e 28/08/20-£84
14. w/e 04/09/20-£564.34
15. w/e 11/09/20- £152
16. w/e 18/09/20- £328
17. w/e 25/09/20- £0
18. w/e 02/10/20-£0
19. w/e 09/10/20-£0
20. w/e 16/10/20- £0
21. w/e 23/10/20-£0
22. w/e 30/10/20-£344
23. w/e 06/11/20-£344
24. w/e 13/11/20-£344

2nd Job : Temporary
1. W/e 30/10/20-£333
2. W/e 06/11/20-£333
3. W/e 13/11/20-£333
4. W/e 20/11/20- £333

Husband: 1st Job
Cambridge Assessor
May £857
Aug- £1162

2nd Job: Temporary
1. W/e 30/10/20-£344
2. W/e 06/11/20-£344
3. W/e 13/11/20-£344
4. W/e 20/11/20-£344

Calculations:

Halimat Mat Allowance : 594+594+594+382=£2164
Husband : 857+1162=2019
Total: 2164+2019=£4183

Weekly pay :
Halimat: £7499(both jobs)
Husband: £1376
Total: (£8875/25)*52=£18460

£4183+17461=22643...so we meet Part A as we will have earned atleast £22400 in the last 12months.

We both have temporary role earning £344 weekly each.
344*52= £17,888 each.
£17,888*2=£35,776 each.
So we both have a non salaried income earning over £22,400 per annum.

My son will be applying with my husband.

Please kindly advise if you think we can apply based on the calculations above.

I really appreciate all your support so far.

Also do you think it's safe to request exemption of visa fees ?

Thanks!

All above clearly of going out of the remit of the latest 12 months unless you are aiming to be benefited by the covid temporary concession, by which you must have earned sufficiently till March 2020 due to have/have been suffering with a temporary loss in earnings.

Thanks for your response. Sorry the Jan till April are all 2020 not 2019. I mistakenly typed in 2019 not 2020. So based on the calculations are we good to go ?

Thanks again!

seagul · Post by **seagul** » Sat Nov 14, 2020 7:19 pm

If you have correctly added all of your incomes earned during the last 12 months which then as per you if is equivalent to £22400 whilst £11200 during the last 6 months then you are good to go under category B.

Thanks alot What are the chances of getting exemption of the spouse visa application fees due to hardship during the pandemic?? We are considering this if it won't jeopardise our application.

There is no exemption over the application fee during the pandemic rather the only available concession is for income requirement where the furlough income would be considered as 100%.

Hi Again,

We are putting in our application this month. For the spouse visa extension we selected "family visa," for the visa type not "settlement" . Is this correct please?

The reason why I am asking is because some of the questions asked are new. Questions like do we have somewhere else to live if we can't be in UK , do we have family and friends outside UK. Do myself and my husband (applicant) share bills etc.

I just need to know we are applying under the right visa .

Thanks for your response..I have just one more question please. I have two jobs. They are both contract roles. One ends on the 3rd of January 2021 . The other is a roll over contract which is continuos for now . We are unable to meet the threshold with only one job.

My husband's works as accessor with Cambridge and he is being paid quarterly. The contract doesn't stipulate how much he earns as this may vary. With my first job I will earn £17550 per annum so we only need to show an extra £4850 from any other job. I am unsure how to prove he earns up to this per annum because he is being paid depending on how much scripts he marks.

I am starting a new role 11th of January and will do this concurrently with my first job. Should I wait till receivinh my first weekly pay in January before we apply ? With my two jobs I will earn about £36000.

However visa runs out on 12 Feb so I wanted to submit my application today. If we decide to submit today, my other job ending on 3rd January still count ?

I will be grateful for your response.

Just be patient since leave is due to end in Feb 12 so you are better off wait till you start working with current employer and apply under CAT B.

I will also suggest you to thread carefully before applying and ensure you meet both conditions of CAT B.

Your previous income still count under CAT B second condition where you will need to have earned £18,600 during the last 12 months and there’s no problem working 2 full time jobs. If you are both jobs at the date of the application, you can use both jobs to meet first condition of CAT B.

Halimat · Post by **Halimat** » Tue Jan 12, 2021 10:05 pm

Thanks for your response. However I am unable to put both jobs as my current job on my application. The system only allows me to add one current job. I am unsure on how to proceed. Should I just put in one of the jobs and add the other job details as an additional information ?

Also will it be a problem if both jobs are full time and they are both jobs that I have to do during the day ?

For the second job I only just started that this Monday and I will have only received one week payslip. However I can attach this payslip, contract.. I am hoping it won't matter that I have only just started this role so long as I am meeting the requirements?

I will be grateful for your response.

I will be grateful for your response.
