SET (M) ILR: Possible redundancy after submission

Hello,

I submitted my ILR application SET(M) as the spouse of a British citizen on the 5 year route earlier this week and used my wife's salaried employment to fulfil the income requirements. I attached a letter provided by her employer last week as evidence along with payslips and bank statements for the required period.

However, today her employer has announced that they have lost backing from major investors and will likely face liquidation soon. My wife has not been made redundant yet but redundancies are expected to begin 2 weeks from now (could include my wife, not certain as of now). Official communication does not disclose much more than what I have mentioned here.

How does this affect my application? She was employed (still is - no official termination of contract) on the date of application.

Worth adding that my biometric appointment is in a couple of days and I paid for super-priority service.

Would really appreciate any help/guidance. Thank you in advance.

Thank you.

Is there a way to provide additional evidence in the form of bank statements regarding cash savings (over £34,600 for at least 6 months)? I did not include this on the application.

Will the case worker take the savings into consideration if I upload the bank statements before my biometric appointment? If yes, should I include a cover letter?

I think you may provide additional evidence and cover letter, etc., at your biometrics.

As you have submitted already, dont tamper with your application by trying to upload, take such documents to your appointment for UKVCAS personnel to upload for you. If yes, should I include a cover letter? Yes

That’s very helpful. I can’t thank you enough for your help.

Should the cover letter include the potential change in employment or should it just explain the additional evidence being provided (source of savings, period held, etc.)?

Probably just explain the savings. If they are enough, then income evidence may be unnecessary.
