She must have an employment letter that states her income. Just a simple letter from HR confirming that. Also stating when she started, salary and position. No long epistle required.
- Can someone send a sample letter which she would need from her employer to confirm her proof of earnings?
Nope
- I am on Universal Credit and on self employment but she is working and meets the earning requirements. Does that effect in any way?
Based on what reason exactly? She's earning, she can pay.
- Am I able to apply to waise the application fees for her?
Same as you used for the first application without the chats/phone logs this time. Letters showing you live together (6 joint or 6 individual letters each)
- What is the list of documents required for the spouse visa renewal for married applicant?
Thank you for your responses and help on this matter.

That's not the definition of sponsor. When your spouse was applying for her initial spouse visa, you told the government that you can afford to keep her here in the UK without relying on public funds.businessmanuk wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 1:13 pmBased on what reason exactly?

I am on universal credit and as a sponsor, need help with the fees of application. would it be possible to waive off the application fees at all?

If your wife earns the minimum income requirement, she will almost certainly meet the affordability criteria.Guidance - Fee waiver: Human Rights-based and other specified applications wrote:Consideration
The sole consideration on whether someone is eligible for a fee waiver is an affordability test to assess whether the individual has credibly demonstrated that they cannot afford the fee. This applies when the applicant does not have sufficient funds at their disposal, after meeting their essential living needs, to pay the fee.
Fee waivers should be granted if the applicant has credibly demonstrated that they meet the affordability test or are destitute or at imminent risk of destitution.
Yes, if she used it for your first application.businessmanuk wrote: ↑Mon Aug 14, 2023 8:48 pmCan I check if my spouse needs to give the IELTS test again or if she can use the same IELTS passed with B2 CEFR level certificate date January 2019?
Is it okay to use the same January 2019 certificate for the extension after 2.5 years?
If you passed:
[...]
level A2, B1, B2, C1 or C2, you can use the test result again for your application as long as your test certificate has not been withdrawn by the test provider
Was the certificate used previously for a successful application/was this what was used for the initial visa application?businessmanuk wrote: ↑Mon Aug 14, 2023 9:34 pmShe passed IELTS in B2 CEFR Level in January 2019 which was only valid for 2 years and is now expired in August 2023. Can she still use this cerfiticate which is expired?
It can be reused.businessmanuk wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 12:06 amYes initial application was approved based on that ielts certificate issued in January 2019.
