See Appendix FM-SEmaribruk wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 12:48 pmHi,
I’m due to renew my Spouse Visa next month and I’m worried that I’d seen somewhere that my documents can’t be dated older than 28 days of my application. I don’t remember where I had seen this and I can’t find it anymore. I’m just wondering what documents should be within this rule. My bank statements, for instance were all sent by the bank last month, my payslips are all digital, my proofs of address to evidence accommodation are all from different dates to show that we’ve been living together for the past few years, etc.
Can anyone clarify this 28-day rule and where I can find it, please?
Thanks
Mariana

I’m applying for an extension of Spouse Visa and I’ll be doing that under the category F (I work for my husband, who’s the director of a specified limited company). Nevertheless, I was on Maternity Leave for the majority of last year and therefore my annual earnings (coinciding with the company’s tax year) was below the £18600 that the Home Office requires. In normal circumstances, my earnings are above the minimum financial requirement.
If I were applying under the Categories A or B, the appendix says that I have the option to show the payslips 6 months prior to the start of Maternity Leave but nothing is said in regards to the Category F.
I’m following the same rules (showing my payslips 6 months prior to the start of my maternity leave + the latest payslips since the end of my Maternity Leave up to the date of my application).
Is it something that the Home Office would approve? I’m sure I can’t be penalised for being on Maternity Leave so how do I go around it?
Thank you so much for your attention and any help you can provide.
Best,
Mariana

You need to check paragraph 9A before trying to apply under CAT A or B? it is not clear from your post whether you were previously employed before working for your husband? If working for our husband, is any remaining shares held by fewer than 5 other people?
9. In respect of income from employment and/or shares in a limited company based in the UK of a type specified in paragraph 9(a), the requirements of paragraph 9(b)-(e) shall apply in place of the requirements of paragraphs 2 and 10(b).
(a) The specified type of limited company is one in which:
(i) the person is either a director or employee of the company, or both, or of another company within the same group; and
(ii) shares are held (directly or indirectly) by the person, their partner or the following family members of the person or their partner: parent, grandparent, child, stepchild, grandchild, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece or first cousin; and
(iii) any remaining shares are held (directly or indirectly) by fewer than five other persons.
If that's the case, why don't you use your sponsors income to meet the financial requirement?maribruk wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 1:35 pmHi, thank you for your reply.TODMATT wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 1:11 pmAppendix FM-SEmaribruk wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 8:05 amHi, everyone! I hope you’re all well!

I have been working for my husband for the last 2 years. It's like he's self-employed but because his company is registered with the Companies House, he falls under the category F. That's sorted, I have no doubts about the category I must use in my application.
My doubt is: Under the Cateogry F, how do I prove that I earn more than enough to meet the financial criteria when I'm not on Maternity Leave? As I said, for Categories A and B, the appendix gives the choice of showing the payslips 6 months prior to the date of application, but it's silent when it comes to Category F.
Thanks

Once again I'm in need of your help. I'm about to upload my documents of the Sopra Steria website and I am wondering if I can partially upload them at home and finish scanning them at the visa centre. Yes yiou can,
Also, I need to provide proof of address for my young children. Can I use the same utility bills that I'm providing to prove that my partner and I have been living together for the past 2 years? Because my children are so young, they don't have anything on their names. There is no need for young children to show proof of address. You would have indicated them in application and stated they live with you.
Thank you. x
