Category A or B, Please Advise

Post by ilrupdates » Wed Jan 07, 2015 2:41 pm

I would really appreciate if you can help me here, If I am on 46 hours/week contract, full time, permanent in UK since five years with same employer but paid hourly. Company always gives me over time every week and I exceed the annual required limit of £18600. I am paid monthly. according to the instructions stated in section 5.1,(Immigration Directorate Instructions
Family Members under Appendix FM and Appendix Armed Forces of the
Immigration RulesAnnex FM Section FM 1.7: Financial Requirement)

I fall under non salaried employment, but in section 3.3 of Appendix 2 VAF4A it does not give any option for NON SALARIED employment. the only option available is for salaried employment whereas I am working under non salaried employment. Please can any one advise that Do I need to apply under Category A OR B ?
Thanks

Just tick "income from salaried employment" and state your income. Your employer's letter will show you're non salaried.
That was how we did it and there wasn't any issue about it.
It should be Cat A with six months pay slips and 6 months bank statements not older than 28 days.

Thanks Rayking for the nice reply,

so it means my employer must state in my employment letter that I am a non salaried employee, will this statement not be contradict to the one stated in APPENDIX 2 where it says the salaried employment (because I have only option of salaried employment to tick in the form)?

secondly I am working with same company since 5 years and my employment contract was issued and signed between me and my company 5 years ago. although it is exactly the same company and I am working under same terms and conditions but 2 years ago, my company had changed its name slightly.Will it be a problem when I submit 5 years old employment contract?

It won't matter that your letter states non salaried. I was in the same position... they know there is no other option to select.

As for the name change, I would suggest you ask them to add that to the letter to prevent any confusion.

Thanks SoHopeful for the advice.
One thing more please, is it ONLY for the last monthly bank statement and payslip to be within 28 days before we submit visa application OR all the bank statements and payslips (covering 6 months period) MUST be freshly requested from bank/employer and ALL of them should be within 28 days before the application submission date?

Secondly, Although I need to submit statements and payslips covering six months period, can I submit 12 months bank statements and payslips on safe side?
Thanks

Just the final payslip and bank statement.
Only send what you need to - if you meet the requirement in 6 months just send 6 months of documentation.

SoHopeful and RayKing I am very thankful to you both for kind advise,
Sorry to bother you again for one last question.

The immigration guidelines say that if the marriage certificate(Nikah nammah) is not in English , it's must be translated into true english by A CERTIFIED TRANSLATER HAVING ITS ADDRESS AND CONTACT NO ON TRANSLATED DOCUMENT. Now my question is that If I myself translate my nikah nammah truly and get it attested from the foreign office or from notary public office , will this translation be accepted by UKVI?
Thanks again

I don't know tbh,but isn't that straight forward? If they have stated what they want,why do you want to do it your own way? You wouldn't want a refusal after all,would you?

actually many of the people do that, they get the Nikah Nammah translated from any true translation service or they do themselves and then they get it attested along with signature and seal from foreign office or Notary Public office. I am unable to find any certified translator in Lahore, Pakistan, that's why I wanted to do it in that way.

anyone from Lahore, who does know any certified translator in Lahore, please let me know the address. I will be really grateful.
