How long until I can apply?

[Evoz]

Hi everyone. I need some help. This all seems confusing.

I currently work for one company and have worked there for 5+yrs part time. I earn £850 per month and am paid every 4 weeks which is 13 times a in a year instead of 12. So basically £11,050 per year.

I got offered another job which pays £20,050 per year and pays weekly. And haven't accepted it yet. Am still thinking but I will be doing 2 jobs then which will give me a yearly income of approx £31,100.

I wanted to ask, could someone tell me. Adding job 1 and job 2 together. How long will it take before I'm entitled to apply for a visa for my spouse?

Thank you

A quick fix will be if you start undertaking excessive work (overtime) at your existing job otherwise you will have to wait for further 6 months to combine the income from Second job under category A unless you have already earned at least £18600 during the last 12 months to apply under category B. Aside above, if you have 6 months of cash savings then can utilize them to cover any scantiness.

Try to wade through the following guidance especially its examples for obtaining the most suitable/alternative option for you:

That doesn't seem right. Why would I still have to wait 6months if I already have a job? Cause wouldn't new job cover any missing money from first job?

I cheked my wages and from 23 October 2019 to 21 October I have been paid 14times and a total wage of £15,816 in past 12 months which averages out at £1,318 per month.

New job pays £20,000 per year which is £1666 per month. That meets requirement of £18600 alone after 6 months...

However..

If I apply for visa in 3 months time. Adding last 12 months income of £15,816 from job 1 + 2 months income from new job £1666 + £1666 = £19148. That's above the £18,600 threshold no? Why would I have to wait 6 months? Couldn't I just have to wait 2 months before I am eligible to apply?

How does it work btw if I get paid every 4 weeks cause I get paid 2 times more a year compared to monthly payslips. So do you just show payslips say between 1 October and 1 April? So if that's 7 payslips you show 7?

All help appreciated.

Cause wouldn't new job cover any missing money from first job?

Yes but under category B because you wouldn't have completed 6 months with new employer for category A. Read the examples in aforementioned guidance.

I'm so confused what you're trying to say.

If I apply solely on cat B wouldn't it be enough under section 1 and 2?


This category requires two different calculations:

Gross annual salary/income at the date of the application

Actual salary/income received in the 12 months prior to the application.

As cat B is if you haven't been working in a job more than 6 months then you have to add actual salary for past 12 months + current salary at time of application. So if I apply in 2 months time. My previous 12months income would be around £19,200 which includes new job and old job.

Correct understanding

Then yes you can

Then yes you can

My current first job, would that be classed at salaried employement or non salaried? Cause I'm contracted to 24hrs a week. Sometimes I just work my contract hours but alot of the time I do more than 24hrs.

Both:
24 hrs= salaried
Overtime= none-salaried
