calculating flr(m) financial requirements

[arii]

Dear forum users i am desperate for some advice regarding flr(m) financial requirements.

I have made an flr(m) appication and is expecting a refusal since i did not meet the financial requirement last year. Therefore thinking of a new application..

But since we been waiting i have been employed as a nanny for the past 7 months. I was initially appointed on a 15 hours weekly contract then changed to 20 hours/week, the extra hours appear as a separate payments on my bank statement but not on my payslip until May. So far on my payslips I have:

January £550
February £650
March £649
April £695
May £827
June £827
July £912


Now my husband(sponsor) had been working for the same employer since 2011. His gross annual salary as stated in the employment letter is £17 900. However on his last P60 his gross salary was £18 784,82 (that incude overtime hours which is not guranteed by the employer though). My husband is a seasonal worker, his salary during the winter is less than during the summer, variable each month (but that does not count right? Since we have the employment letter that states his annual income. His last 12 payslips :

2013
August £1512
September £1667
October £1619
November £756
December £771

2014
January £1268
February £747
March £820
April £1009
May £1620
June £1533
July £1499

My questions are:
1) how are our incomes counted to determine whether we meet the f.requirement?
2) are we under category A or B?
3) Do I appeal to the refusal with the 2013-2014 P60?
4) is my husband P60 of any use?
5) I feel it might be better to make a fresh application, would my husband last 6 months payslips be considered or would it be the 12 months payslips/employment letter?

1. With info provided, you're in nonsalaried employment,financial requirement will be met by adding your income in the last 6 month prior to your application. With what is provided,total in the last 6 month is about 7000 plus if you multiply that by 2 financial requirement wouldn't have been met.
The overtime stated needs to show in your pay slips and bank statements mule part of the requirement.
2.it's will be cat A because he's with the same employer.
3. I'm afraid appeal might not work has the court case been decided and 18600 financial requirement has come to stay for now.
4.P60 might be submitted but what's more important is his income in the last 6 months and as stated by his employer in the letter he's required to provide with the application.
5. 6 months pay slips would be good enough provided you meet the financial requirement.

It may be more appropriate to apply under Cat B, variable income, especially for the 12 month + employment.

What category DID you apply under?
You must have completed the appendix 2 form so which category did you select?

Are your wages of £1600 & £1500 before or after Tax and NI contributions?

If they're before, i.e gross then using the six month (CAT A) you'll be below the £18,600 threshold, as they take into account the lowest monthly wage. £1500 x 6 = £18,000.

Sorry that should be £1500 x 12 = £18,000!!

thanks joshboy... whats the best option for me now...shall i apply for her and wait for the decision or shall i send my wife back home and apply for her in December when my income reaches 18600? ( i dont have p60) ur reply would be highly appreciated

[Rayking]

Is your job salaried employment or non salaried? If it's non salaried then,the calculation above isn't all that right and you might still qualify if you can get at least 1550 till when you gonna apply.
If it's non salaried, it's gonna be your total income in 6 months ×2, or monthly average multiply by 12.so you might still be fortunate.
If you apply knowing you haven't met the financial requirement, I'm afraid to say it's a non negotiable refusal and you don't wanna waste money doing that.
With what you've got you're Ok,provided you can ask for more hours or make sure your income doesn't go beyond 1550 or thereabouts.

I get monthly paid
April £1600
May £1500
June £1600
July £ 1600
August £1600 and
September vil be £ 1600
My wife visa expires on 7 October
Will I qualify for cat A ?

[Rayking]

You didn't state if it's salaried or non?
If it's non salaried e.i you're paid hourly,not salary then I can assure you that you qualify.
You've got 1600×5+1500=9500÷6=1583.33×12= 19000
You're fine!
Pls note,your last pay slip and last bank statements must not be more than 28 days b4 application and you need to get specified letter from your employer if you're not aware of this.

[gulb]

Unfortunately it's salaried! And what kind of letter shall I get from my employer?

[Rayking]

If it's salaried, I'm afraid you might not meet the requirement.

[gulb]

Thanks rayking for ur help. My friend told me to apply on flr(o) telling them u cant provide the requirment at the moment and when u fulfill income threshold then send flr(m).my wife visa runs out in October and I would be able to privide 6months payslip in end of November in cat A.
Guys need ur suggestion plz

[Amber]

It would be FLR(FP) not FLR(O).

[kuma100]

HI Amber,

I'm having the same problem as I need 2 more payslips to satisfy my dependent FLR M. But
unfortunately their PBS dependent visa expires before that.

Shall I apply FLR(FP) now and is it possible to change that to FLR (M) while the FLR(FP) is
under process?
or
Do I need to wait until we get FLR (FP) visa to apply FLR(M)?

[gulb]

I urgently need help with my flr(m) application. My wife's tier 4 visa ends early next month and we have already booked an appointment with one of the premium service centres. My work is agency based....I worked from January last year to August, and I was without a job since then (September to December, 2014). I have been working for two weeks now, which is paid weekly on per hour basis (presumably non salaried). My previous job in 2014 was a fixed term contract. My pay from Jan to August last year are as follows:

Jan to March...1993(per month)
April.............1987
May..............2004
June.............1995
July..............2148
August...........2183

My income from the current job so far (2 weeks) is £930. Can anyone please give me advice on how to calculate to meet the financial requirement, under which category should i apply? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[Rayking]

You need to be in employment for at least 6 months before your application I'm afraid.if your wife is working, you can combine income as well
