Cat A Salaried or non Salaried? Confused!Help!

[Jedai Prince]

Hi Everyone, hope you all are doing well. First of all I can’t thank enough to everyone here who have helped and given me advice on my first spouse visa application May the almighty give you all happiness and prosperity. I am going to extend my spouse visa next month and would once again need your advices on the following.


1. Financial requirements
I am sending 6 months payslips. I am going to print them from online work portal as employer won’t stamp them. Please advice if these will be acceptable for Application?

I am proving six month bank statements and an employer letter confirming employment. I am on a hourly wage with 40hr minimum work contract. Will Home office count me as non salaried and average my wages or will they pick the lowest monthly pay and average it to calculate my annual salary?


2. Proof of living together

My spouse received visa for 33 months. But I will be only providing documents for the latest 2 years before application . Please advice if they would be sufficient for application? My wife don’t work as we have a baby so she doesn’t have many documents on her name.

3. Accommodations

Tenancy agreement from letting agent. I rent a one bedroom flat and live with wife and baby.I got the agreement last November 2020 for six month. But the agreement says tenancy will continue unless I or landlord wants to discontinue. Will this be sufficient or should I get an updated letter confirming tenancy from letting agent? Do I need a property overcrowding inspection report?

4. Other documents

A2 English test
My British passport
Baby’s British passport and birth certificate
Spouse full passport pages and brp card
Marriage certificate

5.Public funds concerns

I claim universal credit. My wife got universal credit claim rejected. I am claiming on my own right and my child’s right. We don’t get anything extra due to my wife’s presence.

I also claim child benefit in my name and had claimed sure start Materntiy grant when my baby was born in my name but had to prove details of my wife aswell on the form.

Lastly one very important question. My wife got free eye test and partly free prescription glasses from specsavers funded by NHS because of me claiming universal credit.

Is this public funded? Will this cause problems in getting her visa extended? Please help me.

I once again thank you all for all the help. Waiting for your advices.

Anyone?

Hi, hope you all are doing good, I have few questions,

1. i get paid hourly with a contract of minimum of 40 hours per week, but I work more hours that that and my wages vary from month to month. And because of this my employer is unable to provide annual gross salary on my employment letter. Will it be ok if I submit this letter along with 6 months of payslips and bank statements.
Will it also be ok if payslips are printed from online portal and sent unstamped?

2. My spouse don’t work, but we have joint bank statements, council and joint water bills. My spouse doesn’t pay anything, I pay all bills. On the online application for spouse visa extension I will be submitting these documents as proof of living together. But there is a question which asks if bills are shared or not ? What should my answer be to that question?

This is a question on the spouse visa extension form online (flrm) It asks if you or your partners takes public funds? I take UC and child benefit but my spouse on visa doesn’t . Should I mention them and will I also be required to submit evidence. If so what evidence and how many? Thanks

Hi all, I have a question.

CAT A- Salaried or Non salaried?!

My wife is applying for FLR(M) in a couple of days and I’m unsure if I fall under CAT-A salaried or non salaried.

I get paid £10 an hour for a minimum of 40 hours a week however I also work extra hours a week overtime so I meet the financial requirement. I have been employed at the same job since 2019.

I read that if you are contracted to a minimum number of working hours then you count as salaried, however I am paid at an hourly rate so I’m getting confused.


Thank you for any answers!

Hi, Thanks, I have read it already but it’s still confusing. I want someone to clarify if a job with minimum contracted hours fall into salaried category.

I get paid hourly which means it is non salaried. But I also have minimum of 40 hour contract. I would like to be clear if this is considered non salaried aswell or not.

Thanks

Salaried is where you have a fixed annual salary so irrespective hours you work, you will be paid the same amount while un salaried is where you are paid according to work you have carried out. Do you have a fixed annual salary?

[Jedai Prince]

All my payslips show different figures. Some months I work more hours than other months. I guess I am non salaried even if I have a 40 hour minimum contract. Payslip don’t mention overtime etc. Extra hours are added together with regular hours on payslip.

I believe you are non salaried, add last 6 months wages together divide by 6 x 12. Use the amount you got towards meeting the requirement.

The proof of living together is not to be shown monthly its 6 in both names or 12 if individually named covering last 2years and spread 3-4 months apart.

Thank you , payslips will be :

March £1200
April £2100
May £1900
June £1700
July £1600
August £1710

Total= £10210/6=£1701*12= £20412 yearly on average as non salaried employment.

I was worried about March payslip showing low payment of £1200. If I was salaried then lowest is taken and multiplied 12 which is £1200*12=£14400 yearly. Which would definitely result in a refusal.

But fortunately you clarified my
Doubts as a non salaried employee so I am safe as all payslips figures will be averaged instead.

Thank you
