Thank you for reply.. you are really great, superstar.
Because someone else here on this forum has advised completely the opposite can I now politely ask you ( and others) to please confirm that my understanding is correct as follows:
My wife does not need to take another Test, and instead use again the three years old IELTS cert.
My wife passed her IELTS (in India ) in November 2013 and it was accepted to GIVE ENTRY CLEARANCE spouse VISA and she is here in Uk. she is now due for FLRm application in NOVEMBER 2016. (Still on the same 5 years Visa track process.)
we can again USE THIS SAME three years old IELTS cert in Nov 2016 for the FLRm (the certificate is not deemed to be obsolete after two years ?)
British council has confirmed that that centre is still on the approved list;
IT MEETS the details mentioned on FLRm appln form page 42 note 3 last sentence ( SO IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT ITS 3 YEARS OLD)

polite comments and share your knowledge please
Thank you

[SAMISPOUSAL]

Yes, you should provide employment letter/contract etc.

What are you submitting to show evidence of 2 years cohabitation?

CR001
can we ask politely
why are you using the word COHABITATION ?
that word is loaded with specific legal meanings

is the OP in a legally married wedlock situation?

Thank you

[nice111]

Just confused, please help and oblige.

Me and My wife both are on zero hour contract. Do we fall under salaried or non-salaried employment?
Can someone also defines the difference between salaried and non-salaried employment?

Thanks

Yes she can use her expire certificate if applying for extension. your answer is there in the link posted before but if you still have some doubts/hesitation then she can try to pass latest English test and submit that

Thanks

Salary employment is where your working hours or salary is fixed each month/week and you have written contract prior to employment which tell you your gross annual salary or numbers of hours you must need to work. Non salaried is where you dont have fixed hours and your pay vary each months depend on number of hours you work each months. Zero hour contracts come under non salaried

1. If zero hour comes under non-salaried then would it be enough to prove income by submitting 6 Months payslips, 6 Months bank statements and Employment contract?

2. Is it still category A?

3. If its cat A then where can we select salaried & non salaried as I am unable to find the option on the form?

4. Is it the correct form on the below link for FLR(M) Extension after 2.5 years initial leave?

5. Do you or anybody have any idea that how to find out FLR(M) Version 12/2013 initial application form?

Thanks again

Thank you

cohabitation. noun. living together in the same residence, generally either as husband and wife or for an extended period of time as if the parties were married.

[SAMISPOUSAL]

Nice111
thank you for the list of things you are including in the application for FLRm
Have a look at all the things that you sent last time, when you applied for entry clearance
it may be needed again..

also add a supporting letter

can i ask all
do we have to send again the sponsors promise to support the applicant and not be taking public funds ?
some kind of further proof that the marriage is still maintained and subsisting ?

LIVING TOGETHER information found

Thank you I have managed to find the LIVING TOGETHER information..
It is like this verbatim

Your relationship
Six items of correspondence addressed to you and your partner at the same address as
evidence that you have been LIVING TOGETHER since your last grant of leave in this category, or
from the date you first started LIVING TOGETHER up to a maximum of two years. See Note 11.

Please don't continue you post your own questions in other member's threads. It's unfair to the OP and extremely confusing for everyone.

[nice111]

Can anybody give me a link to download old flr(m) form version 12/2013 please. As I need to know was there any difference between new form and the one I filled last time.

[SAMISPOUSAL]

saying its advertising some third party

so just simply google search .
flr(m) form version 12/2013

[vinny]

Snapshot of Application to extend stay in the UK as a partner: form FLR(M) (1 October 2013 - 5th April 2014).

Nonsense. You are confusing this topic with the one in Tier 1 Ent (where you also posted) by another member who posted third party company details. In this thread, the link you posted did not work (error 404) so it was removed.

[SAMISPOUSAL]

I also aposted this which has precedence as its afterwards

so just simply google search .

Hi Gurus

Please advice one the matter.

My wife is working for her current employer since December 2015. She is pregnant and expecting a baby anytime now but she did not claim SMP or any maternity allowance. We never thought of claiming any SMP or maternity allowance as her work is all computer/online based and can be done from home. she is on annual holidays for last couple of weeks now.

Is it fine or can it raise a question that that why did she not claim the SMP or M allowance?

[Casa]

Is she still employed and being paid a salary by her current employer?

[nice111]

Is she still employed and being paid a salary by her current employer?

Yes she is still employed and getting paid every month, just didnt bother to apply for SMP or MA.

[Casa]

If she is still employed and receiving a full salary working from home, she wouldn't qualify for Maternity Allowance or SMP.

Thats fine, We are not worried about SMP or MA. My concern is UKVI, r they ok with that?
If she is not qualify to get SMP or MA that means UKVI wont have any problem with that either n it wont flag up anything, please correct me if I am wrong.
