£18,600 threshold. some basic questions ( help needed )

[abidabz]

hi ,

i am employed full time with same employer for more then one year , gross per two weeks £1200 ( by weekly payslip ) per annum approx £29k

. i have to apply for flr(m) meeting 18,600 income ( partner doesnt work)

but i took time off recently without using paid holidays and my payslip for them two weeks is £400 gross .


HO multiplies lowest gross pay by X 12 under category A and check if i cross 18.6k limit, my £400 payslip would make it only £4,800k per annum in their calculations ?


so i guess i will need to apply with category B supplying 12 paylsips crossing £18,600 even though im with same employer?

Thanks for your help in advance

How much have you earned during the last 6 months/26 weeks? Give wages figures to see whether you can meet requirement?

approx 13-14k in last 6 months

In that case I think you should go ahead with category B where 12 months of payslips and bank statements need. But financial threshold need to meet by two parts.
1. You must have earned at least £18600 during the last 12 months.

2. You must have earned around £9300 during last 6 months.

hello please help , ( post keeps going blank )

1- i earn variable income , so i will have to apply for category B even if im with same employer 1+ year ? ( took unpaid time off recently and one payslip is v slim )

( do i supply all 12 months payslips or even 9-10 payslips if they combined pass the 18.6k threshold will suffice , get paid 2.5k per month , 8 payslips will meet 18,6k )


2- if i add my self employed ( uber driving ) income.. can i add latest 6 months ? or it has to be whatever i earned self employed from april 17- april 18 .. what is meant by current financial year and last financial year ...

If this question is related to ILR on Set(M), please continue in your existing topic you already have in the ILR sub forum as ILR questions are not relevant in the Immigration for Family Members sub forum.

Give your last 6 months wages figures of employment so we calculate whether you meet the financial requirement.

Note: If your paye job meet the financial requirement then don't combine your self employment.

its by weekly pay , so every week since november 1225£ per two weeks . but during christmas time , business was shut .. so my one by weekly pay is £400 only ...

so i am worried about it hence thinking of combining self employment

You must be currently in a job or jobs earning at least £18,600, for you as a nonsalaried job, this must be shown by adding together all the pay received during the last 6 months, including from any previous job(s) and any blank period, divided by 6 and multiplied by 12.

Also in the last 12 months you must have earned at least £18,600 through current and previous job or jobs. This is shown by providing all the payslips received during the last 12 months. So in your case probably 52 payslips they all need to be added together.

Using self-employment is tricky for you as you've only worked 6 months as uber driver...

If your monthly/weekly wages are not significantly varying then you more likely fall under salaried person where HO will take the lowest wage figure which in your case is £400 that maynot fullfill the requirement. However, as you wishing then can apply under category B where firstly you should have earned £18600 during the last 12months/52 weeks and secondly must have earned at least £9300 during the last 6 months.

Just one thing to clarify, if my latest ( 20 by weekly = 10 months payslip )cross well over 18.600£ at time of application...
would i still need to add the 400£ payslip ? i-e lets say hypothetically i can leave that payslip out and still meet financial threshold well over by submitting only 10 payslips ?

Hi All,

I am having some confusion,

I was salaried employee till 9th Feb 2018 and moved to contracting role (via Limited company), I can meet 18,600 with 6 months pay slips.

FLR(M) under section 7.3(A)

Point iii) Have you been with the same employer and earning the required amount continuously for 6 months prior to date of application?

The above point pushed me to use Category B , which is based on 12 months. when i looked at the document Appendix FM 1.7: Financial Requirement August 2017

5.3. Category B: Less than 6 months with current employer or variable income – person residing in the UK

I have to meet the following requirements

5.3.10. So, under Category B, the assessment of the financial requirement is based on both:

(1) The gross annual salary or income from salaried or non-salaried employment at the date of application. This source can be combined with Category C: non-employment income , Category D: cash savings and Category E: pension; and

(2) The actual amount of gross income received from any salaried or non-salaried employment in the 12 months prior to the application. This can be combined with the actual gross income received from Category C: non-employment income and Category E: pension over the same 12-month period. Category D: cash savings cannot be used under (2).

My question is that how can i proof gross annual salary of job which i have started 3 weeks back ???

appreciate your help as got appointment on saturday

Regards
A

The recent work you start is self employment that you can't combine with category B.

You can't skip/hide any of the required payslip which will break the sequence. As told earlier that if you working as a salaried person where wages does not vary then HO will take the lowest wage figure during the last 6 months/26 weeks.
