Thanks for your prompt reply, I will be applying for my wife as well right now she is on dependent visa so do I need to maintain certain amount for 90 days as I am on my company's payroll and take out salary around 1000 a month and what documents do I need to show for her.

Are you applying your wifes ILR on SET (O) as a dependent? Then no you dont need any maintainence for wife for ILR purpose.

Sorry I didn't get you, I am applying my ILR as she came to UK last year as a dependent. So do I need to maintain funds ?

So then she does not qualify as ILR as yet. She can only apply ILR once she completes her 5 years from the date of her initial PBS dependent visa. She will continue as PBS dependent and would need an extension for that. What is her visa expiry date? Incase of PBS extension application you need to maintain funds in wifes case.

Thanks for response her visa expires on same day as mine. How much do I need to maintain for herself for 90 days and what docs I will need to submit for her dependent visa extension.
Furthermore, We can apply 28 days before our visa expires ?

71. If the Tier 1 Migrant has been in the United Kingdom for 12 months or more, you must have £630 to support yourself.

Refer to:

Yes you can apply upto 28 days before expiry. Online application date will be application date. Just dont apply on the edge as in to make sure to apply in time so I would say just apply 25 days before expiry.

Thanks for your prompt response, could you please confirm if maintenance in required in her case, for ILR application I think I am exempt from this requirement.
Furthermore, no postal application anymore for any visa application ?

No maintanence required for ILR. But for now you are applying her PBS dependent where it is required.
You have to apply online, book an appointment via sopra steria UKVCAS centre to provide docs and bio in ILR case. No postal in ILR case. I am not sure if there is any postal for PBS dependent you have to check on gov website.

I think it is online also.

Yes last time when I applied for her it was online but she was in Pakistan I think it still the same process online application.

One more thing one of my employee I am paying £9.20/- hourly rate and she is doing 173 hours monthly. Is that ok ? Thats fine but you should know that any hours more than 30 hour per week will be disregarded for that particular employee for calculation purpose

Furthermore, from Jan 19 her tax code has been changed now as per HMRC as she started another job. Will it effect on my application or shall I reduce her working hours from 173 to 120 hours monthly which means 30hrs per week. The tax code really does not matter. That has nothing to do with immigration rules. If the employee is happy to pay that much extra tax thats upto the employee but how will he be managing to work so many more hours after 173 hours with you

Do you run your payroll monthly or weekly? Its safest to assume 130 hours per month if the payroll is run on monthly basis as it calculates to a total of 1560 hours per year that is HO requirement.
The guidance only states 30 hours/week.
As not all months are equal 30 hours/week comes to a minimum of 120 hours a month and some months will have more hours to make up the rest for a total of 1560 hours/year (this is personally my case).

But I would advise you to be safe and have atleast 130 hours a month although the online application form says 120 hours to be fulltime also. But just for you to be safer 130 hours/month will be better.

You can send payslips printed 160 hours or whatever HO is conerned for a min of 30hours/week, rest is disregarded.

There is no requirement for employees to be active at application date as long you have fulfilled your job requirements. It really depends on what your business needs are.

No you must apply online as old forms have been removed. There is nothing confusing about it, it is very straightforward
