Hello everyone,
I have a question about applying for my wife's FLR(M) visa in a few months time, my question is regarding the 6 jointly named letters as supporting evidence.
Alot of my letters have become paperless and receive them online. Can we use these as evidence or does it have to be actual paper letters delivered by post.
Another question I have is regarding my wages, I have a employee pension scheme and share save scheme within the company. When calculating my 6 months wages, would I have to deduct my pension and share save from my wages? As if I have to deduct, I would be below the required earnings of £18,600.
If anyone has any links to the government guidelines regards to this, that would be much appreciated
I would be very thankful for any help.
Kind regards

Yes you can

Your income before any deduction is what is counted towards the threshold
I would be very thankful for any help.

Just to clarify, my wife arrived in the UK on 24th May 2019 and her expiry date on her BRP card is 14/02/2022. So can she apply anytime at the end of November 2021 until the expiry date on her BRP card?
Thank you in advanced.

Yes
Thank you in advanced.
To be clear and ensure you don't have a shortfall of qualifying time at a later date, she can apply for FLR (M) any time after completing 30 months in UK till the expiry date on BRP.

Hello,
I will be applying for my wife's FLR (M) in December 2021.
I've been working at the same employer for over 12 months. If I start a job elsewhere, how will this affect the financial requirement? Will I need to provide 12 months in total when I apply covering the new job and previous?
I appreciate any information and advice.
Thank you in advance.

Appendix FM-SE
2. In respect of salaried employment in the UK (except where paragraph 9 applies), all of the following evidence must be provided:
(a) Payslips covering:
(i) a period of 6 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for at least 6 months (and where paragraph 13(b) of this Appendix does not apply);
or
(ii) any period of salaried employment in the period of 12 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for less than 6 months (or at least 6 months but the person does not rely on paragraph 13(a) of this Appendix)
Provide payslips covering 12 months period. You need to ensure your payslips meets the criteria for Category B conditions.

Hello,
I am in the process of starting a new job and I will be applying for my wife's FLR (M) visa at the end of the year.
In my previous job, I was paid weekly and in my new job I will also be paid weekly. Unfortunately my start date has been postponed by a week therefore I will not receive a payslip for 1 week. So when I apply for my wife's FLR (M) visa, I will only have 51 weeks of payslips for the 12 month period. Both jobs are non salaried hourly paid.
Will it be an issue if I provide 51 weeks of payslips when I apply for the visa? I was hoping to write a supporting letter explaining why they is a payslip short in the 12 month period. Will this be ok providing the earnings exceed the £18,600 financial requirement?
I appreciate any advice or information.
Thank you.

Not an issue as long as you meet the financial requirements

Definitely not! As long as those payslips you are submitting meet both conditions of CAT B, you should be fine. You can also write a cover letter detailing how the requirement is met under CAT B. I did this for my wife application and it makes life easier for the caseworker.

Hello,
I will be applying for my wife's visa in the next few days under Category B.
I have been with my current employer since October 2021 on non salaried paid weekly employment. The last payslip I am going to include is dated the 29th December 2021 and my employment confirmation letter is dated 18th January 2022. I am also going to include my payslips from my previous employment which was also non salaried paid weekly from January 2021, as well as 12 months of bank statements covering January 2021 to December 2021.
I was hoping for advice on the following:
1. Is it ok if I submit the application within 28 days of my payslip dated 29 December 2021? Or would I need to include more payslips up to the date I submit my application as I am paid weekly.
2. With regards to my previous employer, I have my payslips, my p45 and p60. Will I need anything else from them or is this sufficient?
Thank you in advance.

The 28days is 'not older than' so the more recent could be the better especially with your weekly pay imho.
2. With regards to my previous employer, I have my payslips, my p45 and p60. Will I need anything else from them or is this sufficient?
Payslips with bank statements covering same period
Thank you in advance.

To clarify, my payslip dated 29 December 2021 could be an issue when submitting my application therefore it is better for me to provide more up to date payslips that is closer to the date I submit my application?
2. With regards to my previous employer, I have my payslips, my p45 and p60. Will I need anything else from them or is this sufficient?
Payslips with bank statements covering same period
Just to confirm I would not need any employment letter from my previous employer?

Thanks for the information. Due to the delay in receiving my employment letter, I will be submitting my wife's on line application in the next 2 days.
I have 2 questions that I would like to ask:
1) Her visa expires on the 14th February 2022, as long as I have submitted and paid for the online application before that date, can the biometric appointment be booked after the visa expiry date?
2) The bank posted me my bank statements with a cover letter and the bank statements are not stamped and the cover letter is not signed, is it best to still get them stamped just incase?
Thank you in advance

Yes, application payment/submission date is what matters.
2) The bank posted me my bank statements with a cover letter and the bank statements are not stamped and the cover letter is not signed, is it best to still get them stamped just incase?
From which bank? It may not get signed and won't pose a problem to your application.
Thank you in advance
