Sponsor's recent promotion
« on: June 11, 2017, 07:42:34 AM »
Hi guys.
Just a quick one that I thought I would check with you lovely people since I've got a few weeks to wait to apply.
My husband/sponsor recently got a promotion and raise at his company. :-) It was effective as of June 1st and we apply July 18th. He has worked for his company under his original title since April 2014 at a salary above the required amount, so way past the six months needed.
On the form, I'm second guessing how to say all of this. We are including his payslips from the past six months of course (the last of which will be higher from the promotion), his original contract from 2014, his new contract, and a letter from his boss explaining the recent promotion.
I have already written an additional explanation for this circumstance. Just trying to suss out how to put it in the form. So far, here is what I am planning:
Section 7.3A
(i) yes
(ii) new promotion's job title
(iii)no
(iv)yes
(v)june 1st 2017
(vi) permanent
(vii)permanent
(viii)april 14th 2014 - May 31st 2017
(ix).........
(x) employer's name
(xi) employer's name (which is the same employer)
(xii)employer's contact details
(xiii) previous job title
(xiv)current salary
(xv)old salary

With this, the documents, and the explanation - does this all sound good? I was also wondering if we should include his latest P60? It doesn't say it in the requirements but I thought it would be a good idea.
Also - my husband has a freelance gig delivering lectures occasionally at a Uni. He only makes a couple hundred quid from it a year, and his actual job makes a good deal more than the current requirement - so I was wondering if I should still include it? I originally was not even going to mention it, but in going over the visa again I got stuck on this bit:
"If you or your sponsor have had more than one job, you must provide the full details for each job held and the specified evidence for each job."
He got a P60 from the uni, but does not receive a regular paycheck as he only gets paid if and when he lectures.
Like I've said in my last few posts, I've got 5 weeks till my appointment, so I'm just trying to fine-tune my application. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

As far as I know, you need to apply Category B (12 months of pay slips and bank statements, plus job contract noting when the raise began in addition to the usual details) if his pay level or title has changed, even if he has the same employer. We did this when we applied, as my husband was in the same situation.

I would of course wait for confirmation from ksand or KFDancer, however, though you can't go wrong with Category B (it's just more paperwork).

Not true.

As long as the salary BEFORE the promotion was at least £18,600, Category A is fine.

However, they will only use the OLD salary (the lowest payslip in the last 6 months) for the annual income calculation.

Category B is an option, so they could use Category B if they wanted to, but it's not a requirement.

So, there are two options:

1) Apply Category A, providing 6 months of payslips and bank statements, but accept that the calculation will be done on the old salary. You can either put the new salary or the old salary for the questions, but put N/A for all the questions about Cat B and the previous 12 months.

or

2) Apply Category B, providing 12 months of payslips and bank statements

If you answer the questions as you have suggested above (Category B), but only provide 6 months of payslips and bank statements, the visa might be refused for not supplying the correct documents.

His previous salary generously exceeded £18600, thankfully. I will look more into category B and my options, but I should probably still be able to do Category A still. Sadly not much internet for a few days but will look more into it on the weekend. Thanks so much for the help!

Oh real quick....for Most recent bank statements.....what is an except able cut off date? We apply July 18th. It takes a few days to get bank statements in the mail. When would be a good day to order them? I'm hoping beginning of July? That would show his latests pay as he gets paid around he 25tg.

Most recent bank statement needs to be dated within 28 days of the online application so yes, if you order them the beginning of July for  July 18th application you will be within that window. Same rule applies for the rest of the financial requirement evidence.
