You'll be applying under Category B - variable income. Are you asked the same question under this category?

If you're sure that Category B isn't for variable income, then that will be fine.

Just one point while you're here. have you looked into claiming Working Tax Credits as you're on a relatively low income at present?

Make sure you claim child tax credits in joint names and assuming you are posting at the moment as the sponsor, child benefit in your name only.

I know it may seem confusing but you are entitled to claim both WTC & CTC as long as these are made in joint names. Child benefit in your wife's name only. If your wife has submitted a claim for tax credits in her name only, she needs to change this as soon as possible.

Under which category does case workers takes the mean average of salary over 6month period to calculate the earning over twelve months. Everyone talks about caseworker taking the lowest earning paid over 6month period to calculate the yearly earning but it states in the appendix that if on variable wages, the mean average will be worked out over the 6month multiplied by 12 will give the yearly earnings. Thanks

If a person is applying under CAT A of non salaried then they add up last 6 months pay and divide it 6 and multiply with 12 to count annual gross salary. They take lowest of last 6 montsh salary and multiply with 12 only if you have are in salaried employment i.e fixed pay each month : )

You are non salaried in CAT A and calculation which CASA suggested earlier use for salaried employment of CAT A. For non salaried of CAT A you need to add up last 6 months salary and then divide by 6 and multiply with 12 to count gross salary. If your husband is in salaried employment then he need to calculate his earning as per formula of salaried employment which is taking the lowest earning from last 6 month and multiply it with 12. You boht then can add your gross salary to find out whether you meet the requirement

FLR(M) dont differentiate between salaried and non salaried employment so they boht come under salaried employment

I can't see how you would meet the financial requirement as HO would take the lowest pay for each of you to base their calculations.

FLR(FP) might be the best option if you don't meet the salary requirement.

You seem in non salaried so by adding your last 6 months = £10,143.1 divided by 6 and multiply by 12=£20,286.2 gross annual salary

so you satisfy the requirement without even including your wife salary who i assume is in salaried employment

.
This calculation is only if you are in salaried employment but his own salary vary to each month which might suggest that he is in non salaried employment of CAT A.

What is non salaried employment? I phoned up one solicitor he said i could use p60 amounts to calculate year salary.....she said as long as im sending my payslips to support this. Previously to sponsor my fiance and then switch to spouse visa i used the p60 amounts. You are now all confusing me :?
