Hi All.
I am currently on ILR, we have three children altogether. 1st Children was born in the UK and has now been naturalised as British Citizen, 2nd children was born abroad and is going through a 5 year route through FLR(M) along with my wife, and third one is just a new born baby!
I am currently working on filling in my wife's/1 dependent child’s FLR(M) form and have some queries which hopefully someone might be able to shed some light on.
My Wife’s visa expires at the end of this month so I am planning to send all documents out early next week.
Following are my confusions!!
1. In meeting the financial requirements, we would be relying on Category A (Salary Income). We, both work where:
a. My annual salary is around £50K/Annum with long term permanent role; which is sufficient to meet financial requirements for her of £22400 with one dependent. So, no issue with getting all the paperwork sorted (Payslips, employer letter and bank statements etc)
b. However my wife is just gone on maternity leave (i.e. from 15th April 2018), employed for over two years. She works on and off their office (mainly from home) in a digital marketing company. Their company boss is away on business tour for few weeks hence although we do have online payslips and bank statements but cannot sort out the letters and other additional documents (e.g. stamped payslips, employment letter until the business owner is back.
Question: Am I right in understanding that to make it simpler, we can just mention Sponsor’s (my) salary in section 7.3 ? as we can just rely on that source ?. If the answer is yes, then shall we just leave “You” section blank or just by adding a note in there “On Maternity Leave currently – Not relying on this income to meet financial requirements” ? or if the answer is No, then any recommendations ?
2. We have got only birth certificate for our new born baby. I believe she is British citizen by birth (as I am on ILR), so when filling in Section 4.4, where it requires for all dependent children to provide their nationality, passport and other details, would we be ok to write down that “She is British Citizen by birth and we are yet to apply for her passport, birth certificate enclosed”, or does someone recon we need to provide any additional documents?
3. In the Children Section on Page 64. There is a requirement of providing evidence where they normally live, doctors and school letters. Now we have taken letters from schools and will try to get one from GP, what if we do not have any other correspondence on Children’s name within the last three months ? and also what other evidence can be provided here to show where kids live. Children don’t have bills on their name, hence all we can get is GPs letter and School letters ?
a. Same questions are asked in section 13C, where along with other questions it is asking about evidence of sponsor’s parental responsibility
4. My wife was a PBS dependent before I got LR-ILR, hence she applied for variation of leave under FLR(M) and has completed her first 2.5 years now. On that note, would this extension be called her first extension of stay as a spouse ? or 2nd extension ? Reason I am asking is that section 13B requires to send all that evidence of marriage again which we sent when we first applied for FLR(M) ? e.g. Marriage certificate, pictures etc. Do we need to send all that evidence again ?
Any suggestions/help regarding my above questions would be higly appreciated.
