Apply before visa expiry and then upload the documents after your tax return is submitted. You are NOT required to submit evidence startighaway

NO you are not required to submit documents immediately. Passport must be valid when you apply only

You can do another test 7 days after the previous test.

They require the last year which means the tax year that has
ended so it is April 2020-21. If you can apply or book your appointment after 6 April 2022, then you may submit the latest SA which is April 2021-22

Thanks for your reply are you sure because they made me confused by saying date of application which will fall in 20-21 year and I am sure I will not get the biometric date to submit the documents no more less then 2 months after I made my application because even my friends are trying for the dates it’s all fully booked and can u plz advice should I pay my 21-22 tax as well before I submit my documents or just submitting my return to HMRC will do will these effect ? Thanks

I don’t have any option at the moment I just have to submit my 21-22 financial year documents and pray that they should consider and accept these year but if they send me query and ask me to submit 20-21 tax returns then I will be left with no option ……. Can you advice me on 2 years of tax returns average profit how does that work ? May be I can go with that option ? Plz thanks

Please refer to the guide I posted above. If you submit the latest SA, you should be good as far as I see it

Hello I have completed my spouse set(m) application…..completed all the steps and did the payment as well but when I am trying to book an appointment it says they need to check with UKVI if I can upload the documents and id check with the IDV app and it might take up to 2 weeks my question is my application submitted and am I going to receive any confirmation that my application is submitted or not ? As her current visa is expiring in few days time, ur response will be much appreciated many thanks

Just wait for the email confirmation on whether she needs to attend appointment or use the IDV app.
She has submitted the application before current visa expiry, so it's fine for her to stay, work and attend appointments after the expiry.
