In either cases (category A / B) you must be with your present employer from 6 months/have earned £9300 in last 6 months and earning at least £18600 per year. I think if you have some savings then can only focus on your second job alone yielding £17400 and cover the shortfall by savings instead other job income. If you don't have savings then can combine other job income £6000 under category B where first you should have earned £18600 in last 12 months and that route might be little longer for you.

I am not 100% sure that you can combine both jobs where one job is salaried with one employer and other job is non-salaried with another employer under category A. But yes it's allowed under category B where firstly you need to have earned at least £18600 during the last 12 months and secondly the aggregation wages of all previous jobs during last 6 months should be at least £9300 to meet financial requirement under category B.

Hi thanks for your reply i am still a bit confused so i am going to break it down so i have a better understanding and advice. From my Non salaried income over the past 12 months i have been working part time my wages are listed below

Non salaried
January-£505.31
February-£694.34
March-£586.24
April-£629.03
May-£331.73
June-£364.16
July-£157.18
August-£172.83
September-£504.67
October-£1000.03
November-£477
December-£293

For the salaried employment which i have started in October the gross annual salary is £17,400 my basic salary is £1450 a month so far i have received November 1450 and December 1450,is it possible to apply in January 2018 under category B or will i have to wait 6 months April 2018 before i can apply under category A after been in both jobs for 6 months? ps i am still working in both jobs.Thank you

I dont think that you can apply under category B in January 2018 because you might not have earned £18600 in the last 12 months as per the wages figures you supplied. And as told earlier that under category A, I am not sure that you can combine both employers wages where one is salaried and other is non-salaried. Easiest way to either start doing extra work at job where you earning £17400 per year until that job completes 6 months or cover the shortfall by saving or wait until you earns £18600 in previous 12 months under category B which is a longer route.

Why exceptional circumstances if the terms of the rules are met. It appears you have held both jobs for over 6 months, is that not the case?

OPs second job is only for the last 2 months at £17,400.

Woul 12 months evidence suffice or should OP wait 4 months to include the second job??

If you are applying for the visa from outside the UK, you need to follow the instructions given on the online process.

Yes. There is no rule that says it MUST be on the 6 month mark.
