FLR(M) - Documents and Adequate Maintenance & Accommodation

[LMMW]

Dear All,

Need your help again with few questions about FLR(M) application.

I'm currently on Tier 2 visa, will switch to spouse visa after I get married this month. I recently read about the requirements on Adequate Maintenance & Accommodation, do these requirements apply to FLR(M) applications?

My salary is above £18,600/annual, my partner is currently not working, so we won't be able to provide any proof of income for my partner. I have prepared a list of documents below, please kindly advise if they will be sufficient to support my application, thank you!

- partner's passport (British)
- marriage certificate
- Proof of employment letter
- 6 months pay slips
- P60
- personal bank statement (3 months)
- joint bank statement (3 months)
- property rental contracts (past 2 years)
- utility bills
- council tax bills

Your help is much appreciated!

Good Luck with your appn
Sorry i dont know what difference it makes for you as you are switching...
but for FLRm dont forget
photographs English Lang
your salary is high enough to meet the financial
i think you dont need to complete the maintenance ( SUO7 /12 ) undertaking as you have to meet the financial (wait for others to comment) do a dummy completeion of the FLRm form and see it tells you to skip the maintenance bit ?
you do have to prove accom is adequate .

In addition to the above you need to submit:
Proof of English language A1 - unless from an exempt country or you have a degree taught in English (see NARIC ELA)
Your passport
6 months of your bank statements corresponding with your pay slips
Proof of relationship (photos)
Payment of NHS surcharge (£500)

The most recent pay slips & bank statement must be no older than 28 days when you submit the application.
SUO7 /12 isn't required.

Are you the sole occupants in your accommodation?

For first application under FLR(M), yes as an example of proof of relationship.

Thank you, SAMISPOUSAL. Good advice, I will do a dummy competition of the form.

Thank you, Casa.

I'm not the sole occupant in my accommodation, my partner and I share the accommodation. We pay rent by direct debit from our joint bank account which I can provide 6 months bank statement of.
I'm not sure what I should put down in the application form as my partner's income, as he has been looking for a job in the past 4 months, but hasn't found one. His mum has been helping him out with rent and bill, etc, I'm not supporting my partner financially. Would it be sufficient to just use my income to support my application? Thank you very much for your help!

If your earnings meet the £18,600, then you can use these alone to qualify.
If your accommodation is shared with other tenants, you'll need a property inspection report to show it's not overcrowded. Or do you mean it's shared between just you and your husband?

Yes, it's just my husband and I living in the apartment.
Would it be possible to ask my landlord to issue a letter to prove the living arrangement?
Thank you, Casa

Thank you, Casa

That'll be fine. I misunderstood your earlier reply to mean you were living in multiple occupancy accommodation.

Thank you, Casa.

Does that mean the lease for the accommodation will be sufficient evidence?
Should my husband provide his bank statement as well to show that his mum has been supporting him?
I have a premium service appointment next Friday, would it be necessary that my husband comes to the appointment with me?

[Casa]

If there's only the two of you in the accommodation the lease should be fine.

If you're using only your income to qualify, then you don't have to explain how your husband has been supporting himself.

If you husband can't attend the PSC appointment with you he'll have to provide a letter explaining his absence.

This is pic of that part.Should've I add my partner ? A bit confusing...

[Casa]

No you shouldn't add your partner as it's your application alone.

Thank you Casa, we will both attend the appointment.

Could you please advise what I should put down as his income and occupation? As he is looking for a job now, he is on JSA and his mum is supporting him financially. Thank you!

[Casa]

If your qualify with your income alone, it's not important. Simply put 'job seeking' or something similar.

Hi Casa,
I have a couple of questions on how to complete Section 7A, hope you can help with, thank you in advance!
My husband has been job seeking since Apr this year, he is not working at the moment, but he had 2 employments in the 12 months prior to my application: from Aug 2015 - Feb 2016 (temporary job - maternity cover; from Feb 2016 - Apr 2016 (permanent job, but he resigned).He can provide payslips and bank statement for the jobs income.
Section 7A 7.3A states that "only complete this section if you and/or your sponsor are working", my salary meets the £18,600 threshold, I'm just wondering, do I still need to put down my husband's employment history and add his income to the total income? If it's not necessary to do so, shall I just leave all the sections empty under "Your sponsor" in the form in 7.3A? Thank you!

Best,
M

If you're not qualifying with your husband's income, I would say leave it blank, or write Not applicable.

Others may want to comment.
