Hello, my husband is looking at changing employers before his ILR application in Feb/March 2022.
The new company is not technically UK based (almost all staff are remote & main head office is in US), but they have a registered office in the UK & will be paying him in £ through normal payroll, with tax deductions & pensions etc.
I have gone through the FM1.7 appendix & FM SE and can't see anything that says this wouldn't be acceptable income but just hoping for some reassurance.
When my husband was applying for his previous FLR(M) he was looking to join a company that was based in Malta and would have been paid in Euros and I remember being really concerned by that and I can't work out if I'm just projecting my insecurities now lol
Also, his current company is not great & he's reluctant to have to ask them for details of his employment (ie letter confirming online payslips are authentic), unless he has to, after he quits. His previous company were great & if we apply March 2022, he would have earnt (pre tax) ~ £23k with new company in 4 months & could include his previous employer who he was with until April 2021, would this be acceptable or should he just suck it up & hope his current employer aren't difficult/slow with providing the information we need?
Also just like some confirmation that I'm calculating correctly for earliest date we can apply for his ILR: he entered UK on a fiance visa so we're using the date his first FLR(M) was issued which is 28/03/2017. So I think we can apply 5 years after that minus 28 days? Is that right? Gives me the 28/02/2022 as earliest application date?
Many thanks!
