FLR(M) 5 YEAR ROUTE 2ND EXTENSION

[Wosiwonkoko100]

Hi All,

I'm hoping someone will be able to shed light on any grey areas I've identified.

I entered the UK in 2012 on a tier 4 student visa and got married to My husband in 2015. At the time we got married, he had his ILR. I applied for a dependent visa in August 2015 and got my leave to remain in Sept 2015 under the 5 year route. My husband applied and got his British in November 2015.

We both meet the financial requirement (Combined salary is 50k) and live with his parents (April this year). All letters are addressed to his parent address from April 2017 . We have letters from previous address that covers from sept 2015 till April 2017.(The previous address was used for my initial application)
My leave to remain expires on the 6th of March 2018 and i want to be sure i'm submitting all necessary document. We've both been working for the same company for over 8 months. We currently don't have any bills in our name since we live with his parent but can provide electric bills from previous residence from Sept 2015-March 2017.

Also, does it matter if some letters shows Miss and other Ms? My passport currently has a Miss(This was the passport i used for my first application)
Does it also matter if all the letters are just bank statement especially for my husband.

Hello All,

I'm hopeful someone will pick this up.

In addition to the list above, i will also be including a letter from my husband's parent stating my husband and i lives there. Is this sufficient for the accommodation situation in addition to our correspondence spread across 2 years?

Many thanks in anticipation of a response

Do they own the property? If yes, copy of their mortgage statement (recent) and council tax bill or utility.

Thank you for your swift response.

We both meet the financial requirement and will be submitting both bank statement.

Yes. My masters is a UK degree so this should qualify for my English requirement.

They do own the property. How many months council tax or utility bill should be provided? is 3 sufficient?

Thank you.

We both meet the financial requirement and will be submitting both bank statement.

I did not state you don't meet it. The requirements are £18,600pa either by the sponsoring partner OR the applicant OR if both have low incomes that make up the requirement jointly.

They do own the property. How many months council tax or utility bill should be provided? is 3 sufficient?

Most recent yes should be fine.

Hi ,

I'm not trying to be deliberately obtuse. I earn £25000pa and my husband earns £25000pa too. We are planning on using both my income and his income and submit doc to that effect including bank statements. Are you saying we should either use my income or my husband income and not both?

It’s not required to do both if you meet threshold from one of them, but in my case we were over £18,600, but we still combined, as long as the bank statements show everything.

[Wosiwonkoko100]

Okay. Thank you for clarifying.

Hello everyone,

I opted for the premium service and after paying for my IHS, the earliest appointment i could schedule was after the expiration of my visa. Can i just go ahead and post my application seeing i had filled in all the prerequisite questions and passport details to allow me book a premium appointment. Am i right in just ignoring this and just posting my application? Just double checking so any pointers will be helpful. Thank you.

The financial requirement is £18,600 which either of you are clearly meeting. It wouldn't be necessary to show as a joint, either you or your husband may show the relevant documents for the financial requirement.

In my opinion, if you wanted to show your income as meeting the financial requirements and then maybe show your husbands bank statements as part of co habitation documents just to show he lives at that address.

Can someone please help me out

I am now within the 28 days period of submitting my extension for FLRM(M).

Within the financial section, i have only filled out my husband's employment details as we are relying just on his income. I have left my employment section blank as we won't be providing any evidence of my employment, although i am fully employed. Can someone pls confirm this is right or am i to fill both section even though we are providing evidence of his income only?

I've also recently come across applicant submitting P60 even with them being with the same employer for over 6 months. I thought this applied when employment with recent employer was less than 6 months and a 12 month payslip was required to be submitted from previous employment.
