1. I came to the UK on December 2010 on Student Visa. I applied and have been granted spouse visa on March 18, 2014. Granted further leave to remain on September 17, 2016. My current visa will expire on March 18, 2019, where I will be eligible to apply for ILR. Am I right to think that I can start to apply for ILR on February 18, 2019 as I am allowed to apply 28 days before my visa expiry?
2. I went on Maternity Leave on March 2018. Will this affect my application regarding the financial requirement? Before I went on maternity leave, I was able to meet the financial requirement. I now worry that since I have been receiving maternity pay for the past nine months, would that be grounds for refusal of my ILR application? I am now back at work and remain on the same hours and rate. Shall I just ask my employer for a letter stating my annual income?
I can include my husband's income for year 2018 but he only worked from March up to November of that year and I don't know if that would just make things complicated. He stopped working because of childcare reasons as he is the one looking after our little one now that I'm back at work. If I do include his income, would that still be under Category A of meeting the financial requirement?
3. Our payslips and P60 are now all online. Do I need to print them and just ask our admin to sign and certify true copy them?
Hope someone can help and enlighten me please as I'm getting worried now as I'm due to apply this month. I'm worried that I may get refused because I was receiving maternity pay the past 9 months. Thank you in advance.
