"(1) on official bank stationery; or
(2) electronic bank statements which are either accompanied by a letter from the bank on its headed stationery confirming that the documents are authentic or which bear the official stamp of the issuing bank on every page."

I met a solicitor today. He said we would require original bank statement rather than online statement with bank stamp from branch or letter from branch.

He's wrong. The official guidance posted by KatieWills is correct. I hope the rest of his advice is better! :|

The fee for premium service is £1311 which you pay online when you book your appointment. They don't take payment at premium centres anymore.

What about 6 months cohabitation documents for 6 years?

How much is your savings?

And as Casa says, 6 months payslips and bank statements??

Dear Gurus, Thank you both for the response and sorry for late reply.

Yes, I have already paid the fees.

As far Cohabitation documents required i am confused. My dependant came in the uk beginning of 2007 since then she is my dependent so now do i need to add documents to show we lived together since her arrival or what.

I have following documents:
my mobile phone bill.
tenancy agreement on joint name
bank statment on joint name
5 different bank statements on each name sepretly
polling cards
council tax on her name
nhs letter Mine and her for same address
our kids letter
our country national ID card
child birth certificate

Would above be ok ?

also we are relying on applicant's slaary income and savings ( 6 months statemt printed on single A4 page) is it acceptable?

You need evidence of cohabitation for the last 2 years preceding date of application, spread evenly for every 3 or 4 months from a variety of sources. What about utility bills?? Your country ID card is irrelevant to a UK application.

How much is the salary and how much savings do you have? I have already asked this question.

We do not have have utilities bill as we rented a double bedroom and a box room not the house. Landlord live there. All bills are on his name. We pay rent including all bills.

I have mobile bills, NHS lettters, bank statements, kid letter. I will just submit these.

I am working part time but my contract is not fixed hour so i will not use my salary.

We are planning to use applicant's salary. She is earning £1580 per month same employer for 6 months ( £18960) plus savings of £25,000 earned through salarised income.

We will attach 6 months wages slips, 6 months saving account transactions printed on a single page with bank stamp, letter from employer to prove wages slips are genuine.

You don't need savings if the applicant meets the financial requirement of £18,600pa on their own. Of your savings, the first £16k would be disregarded anyway.

Dear Guru,

We are trying to meet £22,400 because of 1 kid. We already applied for child registration under MN1 section 1(3).

Child will not apply visa but i read we still need to add kid if not British.

You should have included the detail about the child in your opening post. We can only offer advice if people state all the facts. Otherwise we just end up guessing.

When did you apply MN1?

When does your spouse's current PBS Dep visa expire?

FLR(M) switching from PBS 1st Extension

Post by talkhome » Mon Aug 01, 2016 3:40 pm

Can somebody please clarify that for a pbs dependent who is switching from pbs dependent visa to FLR(m) 1st extension:

1. Does Applicant salary be considered for meeting financial requirement?
2. Is it ok if sponsor does not work and applicant simply relies on it's wages and savings to meet financial
requirement?

Sponsor is in full time education.

The child is not British yet and HO might expect you/spouse to meet the £22,400 level.
1. Does Applicant salary be considered for meeting financial requirement?
Yes, applicant salary is fine.
2. Is it ok if sponsor does not work and applicant simply relies on it's wages and savings to meet financial
requirement?
Yes.
