Success ILR Set(m) While on Maternity Leave 2020

[sanahtalha]

I’m trying to book the life in UK TEST for my husband. The middle name thing is confusing me.

My Husbands name in passport and Brp is

Surname: Z****
First Name: Muhammad T****

So on the application they ask for surname and then
First Names. So I entered like above.

They then have a middle name section saying if you don’t enter you could get turned away. Shall I enter T**** again here or leave it blank as I have but it in the First Name(s) section.

I’d appreciate any reply

Enter the middle name of your husband in the middle name section whilst booking Life in the UK. I did the same as I have three names as well.
So this is how you should enter:

First Name: Muhammad
Middle Name: T****
Surname: Z*****

I did exactly the same thing and got my ILR without any issues.

Hi
I’m going to be applying for my spouse in September using my wages as I work for the NHS and pay is above 18,600. However I’ve been on maternity leave since December 8th. And won’t be back till December 2020.
I was told I can use my payslips from before maternity leave so wanted to know exactly what would be required.
I.e
Payslips from June to November 2020.

I have letter of employment confirming role and the fact that the printed payslips are genuine from November 2019. Would this be ok or does that letter need to be 28 days from application as it will be hard for me to get this from work.
Bank statements to go with payslip timeline.

Do I need anything for proof of maternity leave other then the babies birth certificate?
