Spouse Visa - Employment Letter & Checklist

[marcus12a]

Hello everyone

As title suggests I have read the docs and am aware what empolyers need to state, however, I don't actuall earn 18,600 as a base salary.

Now my base salary is about 15k with overtime and commision (bonuses etc) I earned about 21k in the last 12 months.

What I want to know how this should be worded on the employment letter, since my employer stated we have to put the base salary. And they are willing to put I earned x amount in the past 12 months,,

So should they put something like this

Between September 2012 and August 2013 Steve has earned £21,103 in the last 12 months.
Or
Should I state each month specifically like

Month Base Salary Bonuses Total Before Tax
September 2012 1200 450 1650
October 2012 xxx xxx xxxx


How should it be done really could do with some help..


Thanks

(b) A letter from the employer(s) who issued the wage slips at paragraph 2(a)
confirming:
1 See sections 5.5.6. to 5.5.8. of this guidance. 27
(i) the person's employment and gross annual salary;
(ii) the length of their employment;
(iii) the period over which they have been or were paid the level of salary relied upon in
the application; and
(iv) the type of employment (permanent, fixed-term contract or agency).

As it asks the period, then a letter stating Mr x Gross Annual Salary between xx and yy was £zz along with other information above should suffice.

Hello

I just want to clarify as I read a while ago on this forum and I believe it was ok but I seem to the think the guidelines state otherwise..

I earn 15k a year basic salary
Only by working overtime or in commision my salary goes above 20k.

So it worked out like this
August, September, October November December 2012 I earned more than 1550 a month before tax.
Janurary 2013 I hit below 1550 and it was only 1540 so I did not apply for visa because I read also here they calculate the lowest amount for the last 6 months. So my salary then would of been £18,480...

Now then Feburary March salary 2013 above 1550, April below (thats because I went away to visit spouse for 3 weeks so not much commision there) May June July August 2013 I have hit over 1550..

Now I am looking to apply from September 2012 payslip till August 2013
It works out over that year I earned about £20k+
However, the last 6 months in Aprils payslip I earned 1430 I think it was will they calculate that and take the average earnings over the year or how would it work?

What section do I apply under I know it's category A but is it under Section B and can someone clarify this for me as I am confused..


Thanks and much appreciated.

If you have varying income which does not meet the requirement for Cat A or you do not meet another requirement for Cat A it would be Cat B.
