The amount is of £885. Hope this information helps anyone who will be applying through Mirpur and expecting a priority service.

Musriz, I do know I meet the requirement now. Before we had rushed it, and overlooked a few things, which shouldn't have happened. I have made everything a lot more clearer. It was clear enough in the last application, although this time I've dimwitted it down even more so that a 3 year old child should be able to understand it.musriz wrote:Best of luck. if you meet the requirement its best to re-apply like you have.prayforus wrote:Just an update on my wife's application.

May Allah grant you success in your application this time .Ameen
Real shame there is no priority service a available, nevertheless applications from March onwards are being processed much quicker now.
Mooty, I applied via non-salaried employment. You can use Category A as long as your 6 months payslips average £1550 or over, you should be fine. As what they do is take an average of your 6 months payslips and multiply by 12. They do not take the lowest payslip like they do for salaried employment.mooty wrote:Thank you for your inputs. The lowest salary I have received is £0.00. I am weekly paid. I am under the impression that due to the nature of employment (non-salaried) I should be able to accumulate 26 payslips (6 months)x2. Even the guidelines indicate that. Even there is an example scenario in the guidelines where the applicant has only received £150 salary for the week due to Annual leave related matter. Applicant was allowed to accumulate his weekly wages and then multiply by 2. I guess that if someone is in Salaried employment then the case worker benchmark his lowest salary month. For me it's difficult to establish that what constitute salaried employment? I have obtained a letter from my manager stating that I am non-salaried employee. my wages varies immensely due to overtime, allowances etc. I am still in a limbo. Not sure what to do who to consult!

Cat B is for those whose salaries vary so mainly foe non salaried jobs.. here they average it out.
Please be very careful when giving out advice as in Cat A they do not average it out. Full details are crystal clear in their Financial requirements guidance on their website.
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... 140324.pdf5.1.4 The only difference in Category A between salaried and non-salaried employment is how gross annual salary or employment income is calculated:
Where the person is in salaried employment – they must have been paid throughout the period of 6 months prior to the date of application at a level of gross annual salary which equals or exceeds the level relied upon in the application. Therefore the figure used towards the requirement will be the lowest level of annual salary received during the 6 month period.
Where the person is in non-salaried employment – the level of gross annual employment income relied upon in the application will be the annual equivalent of the person‟s average gross monthly income from non-salaried employment in the 6 months prior to the date of application (where that employment was held throughout that period).
To calculate this annualised average for non-salaried employment in Category A the following calculation should be used:
(Total gross income from employment held throughout the 6 month period, divided by 6) multiplied by 12 = Income from non-salaried employment that can be counted towards the financial requirement.
5.1.7
Example (c) The applicant‟s partner is in non-salaried employment in the UK. He works on a weekly rota basis and does not receive any paid holidays. He has earned £450 each week in the same job for the last 7 calendar months, except for the week prior to the date of application when he earned £150 owing to a holiday.
Non-salaried income = (gross earnings from employment held throughout the 6 month period, divided by 6) x 12
= ((25 weeks x 450 + 1 week x 150) ÷ 6) x 12
= (11,400 ÷ 6) x 12 = £22,800
So the financial requirement is met through Category A non-salaried employment.
Thankyou for sharing that. He can apply in Cat A with non salaried employment.prayforus wrote:musriz wrote:

For CAT A they take the lowest payslip for salaried employment - yes.
CAT B is for those who who meet the requirement by having 12 months payslips, or who have had 2 jobs which have earned them £18,600 over the year.
CAT A allows non-salaried employment.

I'm certain I am right as we applied this way last time. We had no problem as it wasn't mentioned in our holding letter. Only that our savings did not meet the requirement it needed to.
They also give an example in example C for CAT A for non-salaried employment.

So the financial requirement is met through Category A non-salaried employment.
Just wanted to make something clear. I wondered why it didn't mention about priority, it seems like you have to find this link on the site. https://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/ShoppingCar ... /Home.aspxprayforus wrote:Just an update on my wife's application.

Thank you for clarifying even my understanding of each Category. Even I didnt know cat A was for salaried and non salaried employment. I didnt mean to offend you in any way. Khair hopefully Mooty will be a bit more clearer in this matter now.prayforus wrote:Salaried employment is not averaged out as far as I know and have seen online from other people's cases. £1550 is the minimum a sponsor needs to earn before tax to meet the requirement with salaried employment and CAT A.
Musriz, I would not give wrong advice, I do not even give advice unless I state that it is advice. I merely, just give an opinion, and experience from what I have done to give another member on here another avenue to investigate.
Oh and I know the full details are clear on the Annex FM form. That's why I posted the links and quotes to back my statement up.
