If Shortfall of 5 years FLR (M)

Hi All,
Is it compulsory to inform HO about the change of address on BRP? My address has changed in Dec 2017 but i have not informed the HO about the change of address, I realised while reading on this forum.BRP is expired in Dec 2019.I hope is not too late, if I may the changes now?

Hello All,
I am preparing for the FLR(M) extension but i need your help in the issue of salaried employment + overtime. My previous and current basic salary (without overtime) is above the £18,600 and my current basic salary was increased in Feb 2019 but i have been paid overtime for the last 6 months.

Please see example below:
May 2019
Basic                          3000
Overtime                   1800
June Gross pay        4800

June 2019
Basic                          3000
Overtime                   1500
June Gross pay        4500

July 2019
Basic                          3000
Overtime                   1000
July Gross pay         4000

Aug 2019
Basic                          3000
Overtime                   1200
Aug Gross pay         4200

Sept 2019
Basic                          3000
Overtime                   1250
Sept Gross pay         4250

Oct 2019
Basic                          3000
Overtime                     350
Oct Gross pay          3350
 

1- I think i would be in Category A?
2- How should i calculate the total annual salary with the above example? Should the overtime included or not
3 - Do i belong to 6 months or 12 month payslips due to variations of monthly gross pay although my basic gross pay[e.g 3000 as above example] remained the same.

Please, i need your input in this with further explanation, sorry if my illustrations to long. Thank you for your support.

1. Only your basic pay really matters for the visa, so as long as each payslip is at least £1,550 before tax, you meet Category A. The overtime will be counted when they calculate how much you have been earning for the last 6 months, but only your base salary will be considered for your future income and employer letter.

2. Your total annual salary is your base pay, as stated on your contract and your employer letter. If your base pay is £3,000/month, then I assume your contracted annual salary is £36,000... so that's what should be in your employer letter and on your application form (the overtime is an added extra, but won't be included when they work out your future annual salary).

3. You are category A, so you provide 6 months of payslips and bank statements (well, 7 months to be safe). You would only use Category B and 12 months if you earned LESS THAN £1,550 in any of the last 6 months. There is no reason for you to even consider Category B, because you do not have a variable salary - you earn £3000 base pay every single month.

An example of when you might use Category B is if you are not on a fixed annual salary and maybe you only work some months and don't work other months, or you earn less than £1550 in some months and more in other months.

For example:
May earnings = £3000
June earnings =  £1500
July earnings = £4000
August earnings = £0
September earnings = £3000
October earnings = £1000

Thank you ksand24 for this explanation and your support. You made the confusion to be easy to understand. I will get the 7 months payslip and fill only the annual base salary excluding the overtime.

These are not trick questions, just take them at face value and answer truthfully.

1- They are asking about any countries that you have lived in so Nigeria will be one and if you have had a visa to live in any other countries, (as opposed to visiting) list them too.

2-Yes, it will be Nigeria.

2A-1 List your own reasons, we don't know what they are.

3. If you have family and friends as you have told us, the answer must be yes.

3A, 4A, 5, 6A. These must be your own reasons. We don't know what they are.

Thank you for the feedback

I need clarity on this below question.I have used Solicitor in my current Visa(previous FLR M), but i do not need his services for the extension.

I answered "No" to below question because i am not using solicitor for the extension.
Do you have an immigration adviser based in the UK?
