[throwingaway]

Hi All,

Would love some advice as to which option to pick:


Me: Started job in September 3rd 2019, Application will be submitted February 23rd 2020
Perm job, equivalent of 60k PA

I will have received 6 months of payslips however adding up, wont technically have been employed by them for exactly 6 months (until March 3rd 2020). Can I use this route?


Spouse (applicant) - Just got headhunted to a new role starting Dec 31st 2019 with a salary above minimum.

Last 12 months has earnt roughly £30k.



Which route should we take given the above circumstances?

Thanks!

If you have earned at least £18600 during the last 12 months then you can apply under category B.

I will not recommend you apply until you have completed 6 months with your current employer due to the condition of CAT A is that, you must have been with your employer for 6 months or more. I agree with seagull that CAT B will your best option since you have earned £18,600 in the previous 12 months.

You do not need to add your spouse since you will meet the financial requirement easily.

Thanks for the response. So just to confirm:

Her visa expires March 20th.

I will hit exactly 6 months on March 3rd.

Are you saying we need to wait till 6 months employment regardless of route A or B or just if we want to do route A?

is applying 17 days before expiry a risk?

thanks!!

You can apply under CAT A asap you have clocked 6 months on 3rd of march. You can submit your application probably on the 4th of March but you need to ensure your most recent payslips is not older than 28 days before you submit and pay for your application online.

Great. I get paid on the 20th of Feb so that will be within 28 days. That makes sense. Thanks a lot for your help. I'm only at the start of the process since we last completed it 2.5 years ago...before you could submit documents online! So I will probably be here over the next few weeks with questions.

Thanks again for your help so far.

By then maybe you will only have 5 months of payslips which will be insufficient for category A.

I will have the following from my current role:

Sept 20
Oct 20
Nov 20
Dec 20
Jan 20
Feb 20


Making 6 payslips. That's sufficient right?

That is what I thought. which is absolutely fine under CAT A.

Merely having the 6 months of payslips without actually completing the 6 months of employment until the date of application under category A may only work if by mistake/miracle the caseworker don't check your date of commencement written on employer letter. Safest way will be to either apply under category B or wait for march payslip (you can request your accounts department to issue you couple of days earlier before your visa expiry)

Op will be applying when he has completed 6 months in after 3rd of March which will be date of the application which in my view should be fine. I do agree that CAT B is another option but the OP met the condition for CAT A as he would have been 6 months with current employer at the date of the application.

Correct. Monthly wages should have been maintained at least £1550 especially in September if the op hasn't worked full month as he joined on 3rd but his pay period from 20th - 20th.

OP is earning triple the requirement £60K PA so I assume the OP is probably earning £5k each month and should easily meet the requirement easily.

If that is the case then should be fine. But still category B will be more straightforward because the both parts will be fulfilled more easily.

Hi all,

Upon coming home I realised I made a mistake. My wifes' visa expires March 2, not March 20th.

This means there is no way I will reach the 6 months employment by the application time.

Employment situation:

Me: Employed until April 2019, career break until September 2019 - past 12 months will add up to over 18k

Wife: Employed until November 2019, New job started December 31st 2019 , her past 12 months add up to around 33k


I know we have to pick route B now, but who's payslips should I file? Still mine?

One more question, does the salary requirement ignore any salary sacrifice i.e for the pension i contribute to? Or is it taken at original gross ?

e.g earn 5.1k a month however my pension takes me down to 3.3k p/m before tax?

Thanks again!

Using her (wife/applicant) employment alone seems better because she can easily supply the 12 months of payslips more easily.

It is the gross income that is considered.

As per few cases the UKVI is considering the income after pension although its not fully explained in guidance. Op still covered.
