Please remember you have to provide very specific details about the company if you or your sponsor is company director. They ask for 1 year financial details, there are very specific documents and proof they require, without this they will refuse it so strongly recommend that you read FM SE in details.
9. In respect of income from employment and/or shares in a limited company based in the UK of a type specified in paragraph 9(a), the requirements of paragraph 9(b)-(e) shall apply in place of the requirements of paragraphs 2 and 10(b).
(a) The specified type of limited company is one in which:
(i) the person is either a director or employee of the company, or both, or of another company within the same group; and
(ii) shares are held (directly or indirectly) by the person, their partner or the following family members of the person or their partner: parent, grandparent, child, stepchild, grandchild, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece or first cousin; and

(vi) A current Appointment Report from Companies House.
(vii) One of the following documents must also be provided:
(1) A certificate of VAT registration and the VAT return for the last full financial year (a copy or print-out) confirming the VAT registration number, if turnover is in excess of £79,000 or was in excess of the threshold which applied during the last full financial year.
(2) Proof of ownership or lease of business premises.
(3) Original proof of registration with HMRC as an employer for the purposes of PAYE and National Insurance, proof of PAYE reference number and Accounts Office reference number. This evidence may be in the form of a certified copy of the documentation issued by HMRC.

(e) For the purposes of paragraph 19(a), evidence of ongoing employment as a director or other employee of the company or of ongoing receipt of dividend income from the company must be provided. This evidence may include payslips (or dividend vouchers) and personal bank statements showing that, in the period since the latest 12-month period covered by the Company Tax Return CT600, the person’s salary as a director or employee of the company (or both) (or dividend income from the company) was paid into an account in the name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly.

If can be proven that your husband income meets the requirements, i think there is no need to complicate your situation, he can just sponsor you as he has now.

For English, just know that you need to pass A2 exam, if this is not equivalent and not in the list of accepted tests then you would need to take the exam.

Thank you so much for your time to answer my questions

Regarding your answer for the 1st question, i think you are right , i thought this wouldn't be as complicated as it seems now.

anyway if we deiced to apply as he's the sponsor as director of his company, shall the total gross threshold (19000 ) be divided equally (as monthly salary ) for the whole financial year ? or he can make raise in his salary because his company financial year has started already in October 2017 , and as i will not be applying with him as combined salary that means he will need to raise his salary starting from the next month . which means 5 months of financial year will be less than the 7 months to reach the required amount of the threshold ( 18500) , without using my part time job of course . i hope you understand my point :?

Thanks
