ILR Set(M) Financial requirement section (covid-19 redundancy)-- Please help
Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2020 8:59 am
Hi Everyone,
I am applying for my ILR on the 1th of October 2020; unfortunately I was made redundant on the 31st July 2020 due to Covid-19 from a very good paying job. As a result of that, earlier this month (September) I registered my company and started a web and mobile development business. My wife is working and she earns over £30,000 per annum which surpasses the required income threshold (£18,600).
When filling the set (M) form they ask if “you/your sponsor are currently employed” - my wife is employed so that is fine, however I am not sure on how to fill the section about me hence my questions -
-Should I state that I am still employed by my previous employer and then write an explanation stating I was made redundant in July due to covid-19? (I can provide evidence of my payslips and bank statements).
-Should I state that I am self-employed (own a limited company)? However, I really haven’t made any decent money since starting the business.
-Should I leave the section about myself blank and just provide only my wife’s employment details? If I provide only my wife employment details in order to meet the income threshold, will they hold that against me? i.e He’s a bum and not deserving of the ILR.
I am sorry if my question comes across long and silly, I am truly perplexed on how to answer the financial requirement section and I just don’t want to get anything wrong.
I’ll be grateful for any help you can provide. Thanks
