NO but if affordable than use priority service
You can apply under category A in May if you will keep earning at least £1550 each month.
Yes unless you have earned at least £18600 during the last 12 months. In that case you can apply under category B
I am sure your school must have been lockdown and if you have been converted into furloughed worker then you should follow your previous plans if your 80% income (furlough income) sufficiently meet the threshold. Otherwise (if not furlough worker/insufficient income) then better to wait for your new teaching job or find another job.
If you are still getting that sum of wages with supporting payslips then in my honest opinion you should follow your previous plan of applying in May with the high optimism. Because if strictly speaking then the income until the date of application matters. However, if you have spare time then may wait a bit more when the things become more transparent.
Usually a sound mind person with average level of literacy in English language & laptop/smartphone and with healthy immigration history doesn't need any solicitor with the help of official guidances, immigration latest news and this/other forums. Also the online application form itself guide the person regarding the whole process and your supporting documents suppose to be dated until the date of application regardless of when will the lockdown be lifted allowing biometrics enrollment.
This is indeed a challenge as it is a requirement that has to be met by citizens of certain countries. Unfortunately, there has been no guidance on what applicants who currently can't meet this or other requirements through no fault of theirs should do.
No, not really. There will be an option to self-upload all supporting documents. For applications outside the UK, applicants would normally hand in their passport on submitting their biometrics.Also I was under the impression that even if I apply online my documents still needed to be sent to a centre, is this not the case?
Maybe until May the lockdown gets relaxed in applicant's country and by then all the concerning department starts working at least remotely/with limited operational hours.
Although the self upload option is available but still taking the originals/copies to centre is desirable for just in case if anything they find missing.

weekly pay £550 before tax
550x39= 21,450
550x52= 28600
As per your first post you are on salaried income of £21450, therefore you won't need to multiply it with any number of week (if it stays same each month/week). Just make sure that your monthly income doesn't fall than £1550 per month.
Then use the following formula to calculate your annual wages through none-salaried person:
These must be from whom who has employed and paying you. Ask them to reissue these with their name or get these stamped from them. You will also need employer letter from them.
There are three solutions which you need to choose by yourself.Dani122 wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 2:32 pmHi, since November I worked as a supply teacher with a weekly wage on a temporary contract. I was successful in getting a permanent job at my school to start in September. At the end of May I was told that I would be getting furloughed, this is around the time that I was hoping to apply for my spouse visa. However I wanted to wait until priority service becomes an option and therefore I am waiting a while. My school gave me the option to begin my Permanent contract from the start of May instead of being furloughed/waiting till September. So I thought this would be best for me as I will get paid through holidays and it seems that priority service won’t be opening any time soon. So I’m just wondering whether now I will be working another 6 months before I can apply or if I could combine my previous job with my new one? I believe I can’t as I’d only worked my first job for 6 months and not 12. Hope this makes sense, thank you
If you have started doing the job with new employer then unless you have earned at least £18600 during the last 12 months you will have to wait until 6 months with new employer.
