Spouse Visa Financial Requirement Calculation

[ghairatCann]

Hi,I'm new here
I'm in a salaried job, my contractual annual pay is £18500 with out any overtime and christmas bonus,if overtime and xmas bonus is included it reaches £20000 to £23000 per annum.
My March 2017 pay slip shows my salary as £1541.66 + overtime £123 = total gross £1664.66
My April 2017 pay slip shows my salary as £1541.66 + overtime £185 = total gross £1726.66
My May 2017 pay slip shoes my salary as £1541.66 + overtime £74= total gross £1615.66
My Jun 2017 pay slip shows my salary as £1541.66 + overtime £148= total gross £1689.66
My July 2017 pay slip shows my salary as £1541.66 + overtime £296 = total gross £1837.66
My July 2017 pay slip shows my salary as £1541.66 + overtime £123 = total gross 1664.66
Could someone tell me please whether or not I would be able to meet the uk spouse visa financial requirement to bring my wife from Pakistan with no children as I have been told overtime and bonus etc are not counted in a salaried job in order for the sponsor to bring his/her partner, so please guide me

hi i want to sponsor my spouse i am a salaried employee on a company my annual contractual pay is £18200 I also do some overtime every week @£12 per hour. My every monthly pay slip with over time exceeds £1550. If I apply for spouse visa with my last six months pay slips will ECO count my over time or he will only use my contractual pay which is £1516.66p per month, As someone has told me that if i apply with the above mentioned pay slips choosing category A as a non salaried then ECO will count the overtime otherwise he will refuse the application for the visa if choose category A as a salaried person because overtime is not counted in a salaried employment , Is it true? plz answer my query thanks

Maybe you are unaware about how to starting your own thread. Anyhow under above situation your contractual (Fixed) wages will be considered under category A salaried person while your overtime will be counted under non-salaried person route (total of 6 months overtime/6*12) and added back to your fixed wages. Remember the requirement is £18600 instead £18200 and also request your employer to mention about your overtime too apart of contractual wages. As a precaution you should yourself do such calculation and mention it in covering letter or additional info section instead caseworker to do.

Seagul u r right i really don't know how to start my own thread anyway ur input does benefit me that's why i value what you say. Actually my solicitor has chosen category A for me as a salaried person saying my job contract latter also shows me as the same . In order to meet the financial requirement my solicitor has submitted the following
1) Last 6 months wage slips each crossing £1550 with overtime. in addition to fixed monthly pay (ie
£1516.66p), Overtime done has shown in a separate column on each wage slip, so the gross total on each
monthly pay slip is more than £1550
2) My job contract booklet which says I am full time permanent worker earning £18200 per year I get paid
monthly for fixed hours (ie 40 hour hrs per week) plus 12 per hour overtime if i do any
3) Latter on my employer headed paper stating that I am their permanent full time worker since ..... and I
am GUARANTEED more than 5 hours OVERTIME per month and the pay slips I have submitted are original
4) last six months bank statements reflecting all the above- mentioned pay slips money paid into my
account
So Seagul do you think my solicitor has chosen wrong category(ie CATEGORY A) for me and the case worker wont count my overtime and refuse my appl ?

OR in my case will the case worker take my lowest wage slip to do the math?

I do know in non-salaried employment the caseworkers do count overtime and take the lowest wage slip out of the six months wage slips to decide if the sponsor meets the financial requirement.
Don't Caseworkers count overtime in a SALARIED EMPLOYMENT?
Can SALARIED PERSON who has done overtime to meet the target(ie £18600 per annum) choose CATEGORY B as a non salaried person if he/she can then what about his/her job contract or letter which clearly states that the person is a salaried employee????

Category A was correctly opted.

Hi seagul I have submitted 6 months pay slips and 6 bank statements they all are matching dates and money except one of the pay slips and a bank statement where there is a difference between the dates not money ( ie 5th monthly pay slip processing date is 20th feb while money has been paid into the account on 23 feb) Do you think it will be a problem?

No it won't cause any problem as its happens very usual especially when the pay day falls on weekends. And a lot HR/finance departments prepare the payslips in advance than the pay day. Since you have already submitted your application so you should wait and pray.

Thnak you seagul but unfortunately this is not the case here, in order to clarify the matter I put here all the pay slips with their processing dates and also the dates they hit the bank
(1st Pay slip processing date 26th Sept Tuesday) (The date it has been paid into my account 26th Sept Tuesday)
(2nd pay slip Processing date 26th oct Thursday) ( The date it has been paid into my account 26th oct Thursday)
(3rd Pay slip ////////// date 24th Nov Friday) (The date it has been paid into my account 24th Nov Friday)
(4th pay slip ////////////////22nd Decmbr Friday) ( The date//////////////////////////22nd decm Friday)
(5th pay slip ///////////////23rd Jan Tuesday ) ( THE DATE IT HAS BEEN PAID INTO MY ACCOUNT 26TH JAN FRIDAY )
(6th pay slip///////////////26th Feb Monday ) ( the date//////////////////////////////////26th Feb Monday )
So all the above mentioned pay slips and bank statements are matching dates and money except 5TH PAYSLIP WHERE ITS MONEY LIKE OTHER PAY SLIPS DOES MATCH THE MONEY WITH BANK STATEMENT but not the date it has been paid into the account. Hope it help you understand my concern
