FLR(M) extension Questions

[Sanahitalha]

Hi I could really use some help
I work for the nhs. My basic salary is £18,333.00. I however make over the 18,600 required on my 6 months payslips because I get enhanced wages for night weekend and late shifts. How do I put this in the form? Do I right my annual salary as 18,333 or the 19,200 the payslips show.

Another thing is one of the payslips a quick low compared to the others as I had to take 2 weeks unpaid parental leave to watch my son while my parents were away. Does this affect things?

My husband also works part time earning £7800 annually. Thanks for your help in advance

Your basic salary will falls under salaried person while additional overtime will be calculated under non-salaried person route where the average of last 6 months is being taken then added back to the fixed wages (salaried person). So £19200 should be written. Regarding unpaid parental leave, it won't break the 6 months period requires to calculate the wages figures. So in your cases the wages from 6 months & 2 weeks will be used.
And regarding your partner income, yes you can add it too towards your income under category A if he is working from the last 6 months for that employer.

Remember all these calculations you need to yourself do and show it on covering letter or additional info section so that caseworker don't get confused.

Thanks so much

So would I put 18,333 basic because that’s my salary(letter of employment also states this) or would I have to calculate like this

Nov-£1527.75
Dec-£1527.75
Jan-£1527.75
Feb-£1527.75
March-£992.69 (the month I took 2 weeks unpaid)
April-£1527.75

X2 =17,262.88

All my extras on top of this is £613.49 - so I could divide this by 6 then times 12 to get bonus average? Ie £1,226.92

Thanks again

Hi Sanahitalha,

I'm having the same enquiry?? From what ive researched I think we will be fine but im not sure?

hi in regards to the FLR m visa - Cat A for financial requirement, I am the applicant and will be using my salary alone for this. Im in a salaried employment and have been with my company for over 6 months, my wage is well above the 18,600 gross per year but my wage monthly AFTER tax has varied... MY gross monthly income though on my payslips has stayed the same..... so will they calculate the lowest after tax pay by 12 or use the gross amount which is over the threshold?

Ughh this process is so crazy lol

Yes you have correctly done the calculations but I will advise you to add extra payslips for 2 more weeks because in your case you have to show the wages figures for 6 months and 2 weeks. Most importantly you have to clearly tell the caseworker that you were on unpaid paternal leave during these 2 weeks with employer letter so that caseworker won't take the lowest wages figure of £992.69 to calculate annual income. In my opinion as a precaution you should also combine your partner income too so that in either cases you remain covered.

[Sanahitalha]

Thanks for the reply

I get paid monthly so won’t have my next payslip in time for my appointment on the 15th .
As a precaution do you think I should just use the
992.x12
Plus my husbands wages 7800

This will still be over the 18600 and then write in my cover letter about how this is a one off and would at any other time be the 1527.75x12 plus 7800?

Yes it's very logical and correct idea too. Better not to speak about unpaid maternity leave rather simply give the salary detail and let the HO to take lowest wage figure of £992 because your partner income can cover the shortfall.

I apologise in advance as I know I’ve asked this previously but here’s my question. I’m on salaried income of £18,333.00 a year with the nhs. This is £1527.75 a month. As per what I’ve read online for this you take the lowest Payslip and x 12.

All my payslips except 1 are £1527.75
One payslip is 992.80

So as per the rule I need to take the 992.80x12 correct?

I also get paid enhanced wage and overtime which I know to calculate separately by adding it up for the 6 months then /6x12

I only ask again because I paid to get advice online from a immigration lawyer who said “no just put 18,600 for you income as it’s written in the employment letter”.

This just seems wrong to me becuase I’ve read in the guide that for salaried employment you HAVE to take the lowest payslip and x12

I’m just getting myself confused so if someone could clarify I’d appreciate it

Thanks

The online immigration lawyer seems to be slightly right because you should not yourself take the lowest wages figure rather its what HO usually take. You should simply calculate the overtime/extra work by using the non-salaried person route then add back to your annual salaried (fixed) wages and the same simply write on the form. Ideally all that you should write in either covering letter/additional info section on the form.

[Sanahitalha]

Thanks for the reply.
My only concern is they couldn’t reject it if I did this could they? If there’s a mix up in the calculation.
Because either way I’m showing both mine and my husbands income so in both cases it will exceed18,600.

Your apprehension is valid. As advised earlier that you should take the total of all wages and need to write on the form and let the HO to take the lowest wages figures themselves - that's what they usually do. You will be well covered even the HO take the lowest wage figure by taking the income of your partner. To avoid any silly mistake by HO and for your own piece of mind, its ideal to write a cover letter displaying as how you have done the calculations and how are they meeting the financial requirement.

Hi I could use some help thanks

My husband is paid weekly so do I just need to make sure I have 26 payslips within the 28 days or do I need to show full months? For example the first payslip im using is week ending 3rd November the pay from 30th Oct to 3rd November and the last one will be week ending 27th April so is it ok if the months overlap like about as long as it’s 26 weeks??

[arfinkhan128]

No need to show full months if you are paid weekly you submit 26 Payslip’s dated within 28 days prior to the date of application.

Thanks so much!

Hi
I was just doing my final checks for my flr(m) form and read the section where you have to provide evidence your child lives with you even if there a British citizen. I don’t know what to do here. Our gp don’t send out medical cards anymore. And a saving account we have for him only send statements once a year which is dated January 15th. Which is 4 months old where they want within 3 months. Would this be a deal breaker?

I’ve lost my passport and my appointment is tomorrow. What shall I do! Will they take the rest of my documents and let me send the passport later on or will they reject the application? Can I use my national identity card instead?

[Sanahitalha]
