FLR M -My income calculation is complicated!! Need help!

Post by MAK9966 » Tue Mar 20, 2018 2:29 pm

Hi All

I have my window appoint this week for my first FLR M visa. Me and my partner both live in the UK and we have jobs. However I am confused in regards to whether I show all the jobs. I have three jobs at the moment, all part-time employment.

Job 1, same employer but they offered me two contracts within last six month (Sep - Dec 2017 and now Dec 17 - April 18), hourly pay.

Job 2, different employer gave me a contract from Sep 17 to May 18, get paid though after every three months. last payslip was in January from this job.

Job 3, causal work, one or twice in a month and get paid hourly and working with this employer since June 17.

How do I calculate my income? Which category (A or B) apply to my case? Should I show last 12 months pay slips or last six month?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

if any of the job out of these three giving you at least £18600 per year even by varying wages each month can be used alone to meet the financial requirement under category A. Otherwise to include all employment incomes the best would be category B where you will have to meet the requirement by two ways. Firstly you must have earned at least £18600 durng the last 12 months before the application date secondly the average total of your last 6 months jobs must be at least £9300.

or If your partner also working then you can combine her income with the income of your highest paying job under category A if you both working more than 6 months with same employer.

Landlord avoiding to give a lease agreement. How I can resolve this issue?

Post by MAK9966 » Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:27 am

Hi all

I have premium service appointment this week (Saturday) for my first FLR M visa. Everything is ready except the lease agreement. He gave me a lease at the start of the agreement but that one had wrong spelling of our names, also it shows wrong address of me and my partner and he didn't mention his own address either on it.

I asked him to correct this but since then he is disappeared and not picking up my phone calls and when he does he says he is busy when I phone him. I told him I will be applying for a spouse visa.

What options I have now?

a) submit lease with wrong spelling?

b) or not submit a lease at all and explain the circumstances in the form?

Any other way it can be solved?

Really need help, we have appoint this Saturday.

Submit what you have and write a brief covering letter explaining your landlord is in the process of correcting the errors and back it up with all your Council Tax and utility bills.

Presumably this is a recent lease agreement??? If an older one, why have you not had it corrected at the start before signing?? It is your responsibility to check these documents are correct as well.

Don't complain about your landlord problems as you have stated here to HO.

Thanks CR001 for quick reply.

We just moved in this flat in January 18. We dont have other lease with combined names.

The council tax and utilities are included within the rent so that is paid by the landlord.

But we do have 12 letters on our names from different sources.

I CR001 I am writing a letter to support this issue: Can please have a look at it to check if it says everything:

Subject: Error in the spelling of our names in the lease agreement and explanation for correspondence letters
Dear Caseworker,

The lease was issued when we moved in the property but later we noted that the spellings of our names and our previous address aren’t correct. I advised the landlord and he is in the process of correcting the errors. We are providing all the correspondence as an evidence to support that we live at (our address). I would like to confirm here that all utilities and council tax are included in the monthly rent and paid by the landlord which is why we don’t have letters from those authorities on our names. We tried best to provide as much correspondence letters.
I have also attached property inspection report to support that flat is not overcrowded and currently in its good form.
We hope to have our own house near in the future and we would definitely inform the Home Office about this change.
If you require further information on this please do contact us: Name and phone number

Yours Faithfully,

I don't know that how hurry you are for visa extension otherwise to treat such landlord is very easy which is simply stop the rent payment and ask for such minor formality. Then usually they all listen and even pick the phones even visit you in person :lol:

Or serve a Section 21 or Section 8 eviction notice!! Tenants are NEVER advised to stop rent payments, even for severe disrepair.

Agree with Seagul's approach to deal with this issue but I think, I am dealing with someone who is just a bad person with zero ethics whatsoever.

Hopefully, the caseworker accepts my covering letter regarding this issue.

Hopefully your landlord has met all his requirements and protected your deposit within 30 days as required by law, issued you with all the mandatory prescribed information, how to rent booklet and EPC etc, as required by law.
