All digital evidence will be accepted. This has been the case since 2018 !!! The advice on cohabitation is also very very very clear. There is no specific requirement at all, so anything you see on how to cover the period is largely advisory and is given for a reference Oh I see. All this time for ...

By the way, just found out from others that to cover for the last 2.5 years, my cohabitation documents must not be more than 4 months gap. For 2022 only: I have February 2022 (Universal Credit Letter for Applicant for Failed Habitual Residence Test) and on December 2022, applicant's NHS letter. Tha...

I've seen on other forums about it. Never mind. Tomorrow's my wife's biometric appointment and I have my bank statements however, for January 2024, there is none of my home address, nothing. Only for April 2024 statement and onwards, I can see my home address. By post, they've only given my transac...

found out you don't do that unless she stayed over 180 days which she hasn't. There is no 180 day absence issue or limit for spouse visa holders. It applies to a completely different visa category with different rules. Hi, just reiterating my question as my biometric appointment date is approaching...

Oh ok. Got it. What about the other 2 questions?

One of the questions does ask: "How long have you lived in the UK?" She lived here 5 years and 1 month but back in 2022, she's been abroad to see her faily for 2 months. Should I subtract 5 years, 1 month to 4 years and 10 months? No! Yeah, found out you don't do that unless she stayed ov...

Net pay is irrelevant. Any refund or benefits given is also excluded. All it matters is the gross pay Ok gotcha. That means I can still use that payslip for the application right? Because it has gross £300 and net £1k. Again, gross pay is all that matters. One of the questions does ask: "How l...

Ok that's fine. I'll use that payslip for the application.

I'll apply tonight, I'll share some questions I may be stuck with. But I think it should be straightforward hopefully.

So will 19-20 weeks payslips be fine to apply under Category A having earned over £10,000? Or do I HAVE to submit all 26 weeks payslips even on some weeks where I earned gross £0.00 (tax refunds were issued), other weeks, no payslips produced at all. I really do not want to apply under Cat B; it's ...

Yes, it does NOT matter that you have gaps. That is the whole point of non-salaried employment

Ok. Sorry, I am super stressed. Hardly had sleep for last 2-3 days.

It seems you have lots of money to waste on solicitors rather than reading the guide which makes things very clear. I would like you to look at page 26 which says the same thing for category A. What I quoted is about how the annualised salary needs to be calculated when you are in non-salaried empl...

Hi, Thanks for your response. Yes, applicant does have Life in the UK test, pass. I have contacted 3 solicitors, all of them said I'll need 26 weeks payslips. I said I'm sure that's not the case, I do have them but since I already exceeded £9.6k from January 2024 and onwards, no need to submit paysl...

Hi, I am about to apply for my spouse's ILR in 1-2 days. I need to double check if all is fine. (I had my solicitor but he said he's off sick for a while so I had to come back here). I'll summarise everything and simpify it all. Job Position 1 (earned last 6 months, weekly pay): 5/1/2024 £354.89 12/...

Yeah, I calculated it using the method (20 weeks, from both of my jobs that are non-salaried) and it exceeds £18.6k. (It's around £19k+). So I'm good to go. I hope I can use both of my jobs for this as using only one is not enough.

Makes sense. So say in the last 6 months prior to application date, and I worked for 20 weeks total rather than 26 weeks (for instance), as long as I have earned over £9300+ and my latest payslip is issued within 28 days before applying in the last 6 months, I can apply under Category A? I don't wan...

Hi, I'm about to apply for my spouse's ILR shortly, probably by this June. I get weekly pay and I'm non-salaried. I have earnt beyond the threshold of £9.3k over the course of the last 6 months (earned almost £12k). I want to apply under Cat A but only in one of the weeks, I have no pay (manager for...
