Thanks for the reply Seagul. It does seem inconsistent with the FM Guidelines. They seem to say that if the applicant has been in the same employment for more than 12 months, it will be treated as Cat A and thus only 6 months payslips etc are needed. Yet, despite ticking the box to confirm the applicant has been in the same employment for over 12 months, it still then poses the questions about whether the earnings have been the same amount continuously and requests 12 months pay slips and bank statements. As we have plenty of spare margin on the income (my pensions almost cover the financial requirement) I input the "not the same amount continuously" and will supply the 12 months documents.seagul wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 10:18 pmUntil near past those who were working for their employer from 6 months under category A select the first option and supply the 6 months of payslips & bank statements by adding a covering letter clarifying their calculations. Because remaining three options mistakenly classify it as under category B by asking 12 months of payslips & bank statements which if someone wishes still voluntarily can rely on provided have earned sufficient income during the last 12 months.
So we have today submitted the application and paid the fees,
though I was surprised that one apparently can't start uploading the supporting documents without having booked the biometrics appointment, which of course currently we can't do. Is that right, or have I missed something? That's a shame, as I had been hoping I could have made a start on the uploading straight away.
