Yes as all financial requirements and its corresponding documents remain identical on each time.
Yes since it is a key information
Ideally covering the recent 6 months from the date of application. P60 is not required which instead can be used as an evidence of cohabitation (if needed).
That temporary concession over loss of income was in place from March - August and there hasn't yet been any practical experience be shared, therefore, nothing can be said for sure unless by trying yourself & see in eleventh hour.claraluh wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 10:51 amSo, we are putting the paperwork together to make an application as soon as possible. About the payslips, I read somewhere that if your income has been affected by the covid-19 situation you should send the 6 payslips prior to lockdown, so prior to March/April, should I do that? send my payslips from Oct19-Mar20 to show that I was receiving over the threshold???
Anything bearing the name, address & date either addressed in sole or joint name can be utilized for meeting the cohabitation requirement.claraluh wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 10:51 amSecond question is about proof of residency, is credit cards statements / bank statements allowed? we are also sending Council Tax (but as I am studying my name is not on the Council tax bill this year and I think last year's as well, only my partners name), Tenancy agreements, P60, P45, Letters from HMRC to my partner for self-employment registration, letters from car insurance company, DVLA etc.
Yes you can apply without it and supply it later, but if the visa isn't going to expire till next week then better to wait until getting the result.
I have been on furlough since April, so my income from April to September has dropped, I will send the past 6 payslips + bank statements + letter of employer confirming annual income as per contract and that I have been furloughed since April (April and May payslips says salary, June to September says furlough salary but it's the same amount). So, what I wanted to know is if I have to send as well the past 6 payslips before being placed on the furlough scheme to show that I was earning over the threshold?
but could you just help me with those above questions pleasee? I think the payslips from October 2019 - March 2020 may work as per the official link which was again updated on 12Th October.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus ... -residentsIf you’ve experienced a loss of income due to coronavirus up to 31 August, we will consider employment income for the period immediately before the loss of income due to coronavirus, provided the requirement was met for at least 6 months up to March 2020.
That will only be acceptable if it isn't a loan same as said previously.
Combining self employment with salaried/none-salaried income might make the case more complicated because that income must fall within exactly the same financial year for which the self employment income relate to.claraluh wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 12:51 pmOr instead, as I mentioned before, my partner is registered as self-employed since 2018, have made the self assessment for 2018-2019/ 2019-2020, have all the invoices and bank statements. Maybe we could add this income as well so they can see that we don't need to rely on government benefits to survive? If we do add this income for partner's, under which category should we do it?
Yes because furlough income will be considered as 100%
Simply reply it truthfully based on your circumstances and the same wont be impactful over the outcome.claraluh wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 12:51 pmAnother question I found strange was when they ask if you have family and friends in another country and ask for name of the persons.( My partner has Mom and sisters, father is deceased, and to be honest only one friend in our home Country(if we put no friends they ask why, I found it funny)) And if you have cultural ties with other Country ( I put no for this as my partner doesn’t have any cultural ties and we only go there once a year or two to visit my relatives).
It should not be an issue. This could be a point to clarify in your cover letter and definitely being more and backed by documents should do no harm.claraluh wrote: ↑Wed Oct 21, 2020 10:55 amI have also just realised that the annual income on the employers letter and my actual annual income submitted in the application do not match. The difference is not much about 500 pounds, I think it might be due to annual increases due in April, but I’m still earning the 80% furlough amount based on my annual income prior to April, so In the application I put the previous which matches my P60 and payslips, in the letter he put the new amount. Will that be an issue? I don’t want to ask my employer for another letter because he might say no, as I’m actually on notice now.
The income provided on the application must match with the employer letter where you are working on a base salary (salaried person) despite the furlough income will be considered 100%. It will now totally depend on the caseworker as how she/she perceive it.
Yes fine.Thanks God I got the employer to correct the letter and send me a new one by email. This will be alright isn't it?
No.Now scanning and uploading the documents, I'm aware I have to scan all pages of applicant's passports, do I also have to scan all pages of sponsor's passport?

Now scanning and uploading the documents, I'm aware I have to scan all pages of applicant's passports, do I also have to scan all pages of sponsor's passport? No, the biodata page of sponsors passport will suffice.
Thanks
Not necessary if you have supplied other correspondence to shore up evidence of cohabitation.
It was among the document list but not under the "Mandatory document" list. I have clarified it on the cover letter anyway as I thought I should.

Should I submit it straight away? We only managed to book a free Biometrics appointment for the 16th November, there was not paid appointments before that date either, so at least we managed to get it for free. Maybe I should submit the documents straight away to speed up things? I haven't added a help/scan service.
