Thank you for the advice re financial requirements. Not sure whether she is an employee or self employed?geoeng wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 2:48 pmThe document linked below outlines the required evidence to provide to demonstrate an ability to meet the financial requirement. The required evidence will depend on whether your friend is considered an employee or self-employed as a sole trader. They don't need to have a permanent job or to have worked for the same employer for 6 months, a number of employers can be combined to meet the requirement as long as the specified evidence can be provided.
He does need to return to his country of origin and apply from there as this visa cannot be applied for within the UK unless you have valid leave to remain under a different visa category already. That said, obtaining a spouse visa is not guaranteed given the previous history of overstaying and will likely take a long while to process (there does seem to be success stories described elsewhere on this forum though). It is likely worth considering what would happen if a visa were refused and whether your friend is willing to live in his country of origin if necessary. Probably not what your friend wants to hear but also probably needs to be said.

Also a lot of care taking/hospitality/catering agencies appoint their workers on their different contracts from time to time and if they are taking care of your tax then you are doing a paye job otherwise it might be a self employment.codswallop wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 11:00 am
However as she is a contractor she works short contracts i.e. 3 months up to 6, before moving onto another. Getting another contract has never been a problem for her. Because of the nature of her work in mental health her role is very much in demand and she gets several job offers.
I've checked with her, she is employed via an umbrella company.seagul wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 7:49 pmAlso a lot of care taking/hospitality/catering agencies appoint their workers on their different contracts from time to time and if they are taking care of your tax then you are doing a paye job otherwise it might be a self employment.codswallop wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 11:00 am

I already suspected that. If she has earned at least £9300 during the last 6 months then simply proceed with Category Acodswallop wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 11:24 amI've checked with her, she is employed via an umbrella company.seagul wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 7:49 pmAlso a lot of care taking/hospitality/catering agencies appoint their workers on their different contracts from time to time and if they are taking care of your tax then you are doing a paye job otherwise it might be a self employment.codswallop wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 11:00 am

Which form would need to be completed in this case? Would it still be FLR M?

FLR(M) is further leave to remain in the spouse category (i.e. for someone already legally in the UK). Applications from outside the UK can be completed online here [url]https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... appendixfm[/url] under the Appendix FM Partner category

Informally it would be called a spouse visa. More formally it would be entry clearance as a partner of a British citizen.codswallop wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 10:05 amBrill.
What is the name of this particular application/visa?
Thanks
