Spouse Extension Checklist

[mark2019]

Hello Guys, hope you are all well.

My wife is doing her spouse visa extension soon and we are looking to do the B1 exam so when we go for ILR in 2.5 years we can re use it.

Does she need to do B1 SELT GESE? SELT ISE? Or both?

Many Thanks

[AmazonianX]

She needs B1 SELT GESE.

Yes do add letter from your employer confirming:

-you are employed there
-the job title or position you hold
-how long you have worked there
-the type of contract (for example, permanent, fixed term)
-what you earn before tax and National Insurance
-how long you have been paid your current salary
-the payslips are genuine

Many Thanks

Thank you for your reply.

I get commission every month also, is it ok to just get them to confirm the basic as my commission varies?

Have I missed off any other documents I will need to submit?

So far your basic meets or exceeds requirements, that should be alright

Have I missed off any other documents I will need to submit? Appears ok

Many Thanks

[mark2019]

Yes my basic meets the requirements.

Perfect, once I have the letter from my employer I will be ready to submit.

Many Thanks

Am I required to provide my P60 or will just the last 6 months payslips suffice?

Many Thanks

[CR001]

Am I required to provide my P60

No.

or will just the last 6 months payslips suffice?

Yes, plus 6 months bank statements.

Re employer letter, they should mention that part of your package is commission that is variable, otherwise the letter won't match what your payslips and bank statements state is your income.

Thank you

I spoke with my HR department today and said they have a template for these letters. I will make sure that all the pints you have both mentioned are in the letter.

I feel this visa seems a lot easier and less stressful than the original Spouse one.

I've spent a total 3.5 hours filling out the application which we'll submit in a few weeks time! It is quite okay to fill out but the sheer dread of explaining WHY it would impactful if the application was refused/where you could live if you could is just... silly.

Will evidence such a tenancy agreement or proof of home ownership not be required for extension in this case?

Include them.

[bathanza]

When you fill out the form at the end before submission UKVI do include a checklist, it is very exhaustive and you'll need to supply everything. If you do own a home, then provide the mortgage agreement you had in place, title deed, home insurance & council tax.

I supplied the mortgage agreement I had in place from Dec 2019 ahead of the FLR FP -> FLR M switch in 2020 so I intend to re-use that.

Thank you for your input guys, I will also add those documents you have mentioned, I have them all at hand.

Does my wife need to add any documents her side?

Many Thanks

Are your docs in joint names?

[mark2019]

Ok thank you,

I will only include the documents I have listed and the others you guys have mentioned.

Yes all the cohabitation documents are in joint names.

Many Thanks

Won't be an issue, just don't forget to print and sign then scan the declaration forms.

Also all pages need to be scanned for applicant passport.

When are you planning to submit the application? We will plan for March 7th - a day after OH lands from abroad. Application is in order and ready to go.

[mark2019]

I think we are going to sit down and go over it this weekend.

I wish you luck. Which visa are you going for? The spouse extension?
