SeeBladeS8 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:57 amHi all,
My husband is due to extend his spouse visa for the first time. He earns just below the financial requirement. I was earning a high salary but was made redundant after 12 years at the firm. I am claiming on the income protection insurance I have which would more that cover the financial requirement. However I wasn’t sure if the monthly payment from my income protection insurance to cover the period of when I’m not working due to redundancy and me finding a job would be counted? I don’t see why not but can’t find any information regarding this.
Any help would be appreaciated.
Thank you
Nikki
Assuming you are settled with ILR or British national and if so then UK born children are British by birth and will be exempted from financial requirement.
As per the guidance the income till the date of application matters. Better to include a covering letter about itBladeS8 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 22, 2020 12:45 pmHi all,
In regards to the ongoing insurance payments the income protection insurance pays out out for 12 months max or earlier if you find a job. We are planning on submitting the visa extension in Sept/Oct and the insurance will end in Feb next year if I don’t find a job earlier.
I was wanting to check this wasn’t going to be an issue to meet the “ongoing insurance payment” criteria. At the point of submitting the extension we will have around 6 months of insurance payments to show.
No issue as any type of contract/working pattern is allowed. If he has earned at least £9300 during the last 6 months or the months between October 2019 - March 2020 then his income (£9300) alone can meet the purpose without including the insurance payment payment.
Cash savings must be held for at least 6 months.

In regards to the A2 English test for spouse visa extension is he doesn’t pass can be still apply for the extension before the deadline?
Husband English is quite good but I was just wondering what would actually happen if he didn’t pass. If not meeting the English requirement, may be offered or switched to the 10 year route.
Thanks

If he has at least an overseas bachelor degree then may consider it to get it assessed through Naric red route in lieu of sitting for English language test.
Keep it simple, it does not matter how many forms of ID he is going with to the test center, the registration for the A2 should match exactly the form of ID you have decided he is going to present on that day.BladeS8 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 5:26 pmHi,
Sorry in advance of this is a daft question. I’m booking my husband in for his A2 test at Trinity college Manchester online and it says if anything on the booking form doesn’t match his ID exactly he won’t be able to take his test and will lose the £150 fee. I therefore wanted to make sure I booked him in properly. It also states make sure if they have a middle name it is listed in the middle name field. The issue is with first name / middle name and the forms of id he has no field is noted as middle name.
On his Pakistan passport it says “given names” there are two names listed let’s say John Smith and then it’s his surname next to the surname field.
On his BRP it has one field that says name his surname is listed first and on a separate line John Smith.
On his UK driving licence it has his name e.g John Smith and on the back for that line 2. = first name.
I am therefore thinking I should leave middle name blank and put his first two names in the first name field.
Any thoughts on this ?
He is using his passport as ID and on that it states given names and has the two names. He’ll also take his BRP and UK driving licence.
Thanks
Nikki
It won't be an issue. In the example above 'Smith' can be entered as and would be deemed to be the middle name from the given names on the passport.
The questions are not trick, answer them truthfully as it applies to you.BladeS8 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 12:07 amHi all,
My husbands spouse visa extension is due in Dec so we’ve started filling the form online and I thought it would be simple but a couple of questions have me concerned and we’re now thinking about getting a solicitor to help complete the form what do people think? I think it’s around £500-600. It is known on this forum that for a straightforward situation the form is simply enough for applicant to complete. The usage or not of a solicitor is your decision

Here are some of the questions were not sure about so far.
What type of visa, leave to enter or remain or other permission do you have to be in the UK? It’s a spouse visa so am assuming I should select family. Family or Either one you choose will be fine.
Are there any factors which would make it difficult or impossible for you to integrate and establish a private life in that country?
We’ve put yes as he has started his family life in the UK with his wife and twins daughters have been born here and his work is here.
We’ve also added our twins born in the UK as non applying as confirmed on this forum British children born of a british father or mother don’t apply as a dependent. Please correct if this is incorrect.
Provide details of the role you take in xxxxx xxxxx upbringing, including details of your parental responsibility or access arrangements
I take responsibility with my wife to take care of my children in all aspects of their upbringing. Is this enough or are they expecting chapter and verse?
If you left the UK, do you and your children have family or friends in the country you would return to?
Are we me at to put yes to this question because his Mum Dad and brother live in his birth country.
Do you and your partner have any shared financial responsibilities ?
So we split the bills but we didn’t sort the admin out apart from the water bill which we recently changed. Is this going to matter ?
What type of ceremony was your wedding or civil partnership? Are we ok to put Muslim ceremony Nikah
Could you and your partner live together outside the UK if necessary? We’ve put no as our life is here. We own our home our twins were born here work is here. Is this enough or are they expecting more?
It also says you can’t combine employment, other income and cash savings.
My husbands wage will be just below the threshold I am receiving ongoing insurance payments of £2k per month but I also have savings. Would it be best just to stick to employment and other income?
Are there any other income sources you would like to include towards maintenance?
Can I say yes then put cash savings as I had a redundancy payout ?
Would your children be affected if your application was refused? Not sure what they are expecting here obviously losing their father would be a major problem! Yes and tell how
Any help would be appreciated even if it’s get ourselves a solicitor!
Thanks
Nikki
All above can be combined, however, if possible (sufficient) then only combine employment with cash savings to get involved the lesser paper work.BladeS8 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 12:07 am

May be this question is referring to those who are exempted from financial requirement and are relying on adequate maintenance.
If by relying on above, you can meet the financial requirement, then you can omit that.
Apart of the documents being joint named, any letter from credible sources in sole name can also be provided.

My husband also has a zero hour contract but does regular hours and regular income each month. Would this be an issue? He has worked for the same company since he arrived in the U.K.
Thanks
