FLR (M) Financial Requirement Category A or B

[grollier1956]

Hi,

I urgently require help with my wife's spouse visa extension (leave to remain) application due in 2 weeks time. I am very confused with Section 7.3 whether to choose Category A or B and what evidence is needed.

Situation:
I have been working for my currently employer for more than 9 months, gross salary exceeds financial requirement. My wife has been working for less than 6 months with current employer and does not earn enough herself to exceed the financial requirement.

Questions:
Q1) Can I just show my salary under Category A for my wife's spouse visa application to keep things simple. Basically no need to show that she is working as I the husband/sponsor fulfil the financial requirements on my own. Please confirm.

Q2) For above I think I only need to show the following documents:
- 6 months payslips
- 6months bank statements
- employment contract
- employment letter
Please confirm.

OR

Q3) If I want to show both my wife's and my salary do I need to apply under Category B? taking into account my work is more than 6 months and my wife is less than 6 months.

Q4) If it is Category B, do I need to show 12 months paylsips/bank statements for both my wife and I or I can show my wife 12 month statements (as she worked less than 6 months with current employer) and just show 6 months for mine (as I have been with employer over 6 months)?

Please help, really need some help.

Thanks
Sherry

You don't need to show your partners income if you already meet or exceed the financial requirement.

Many thanks for your reply.

1. Just to confirm, I the husband/sponsor can just show my income to meet the financtial threshold?

2. In this case I would just need to fill the "Your Sponsor" column in the table in section 7.3A in FLR M application?

Thanks in the advance.

yes, just fill your column, leave her column blank.
