I am working on the application and have a number of questions regarding various sections/questions. Apologies in advance, if I am duplicating any of the previous topics.
My travel document has my middle name only in my native language. Should I include it in the application anyway (using the English spelling)?Enter your name, as shown in your current passport or travel document. Use the English spelling of your name where provided.
I have lived in the UK since September 2014 (on a different visa first). Should I include my friends in the UK as well as my country of birth?Do you have any friends in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years?
I have only had 2 holidays longer than 2 weeks, both with my husband. Do I need to provide proof we traveled together?Where did you spend time outside the UK for more than 2 weeks?
My husband is British from birth and has always lived in the UK apart from one study trip which lasted 1 year. Do I need to deduct 1 year from the total number of years he lived in the UK?How long has your partner lived in the UK?
I have just returned from maternity leave and my payslips from the past 12 months will show very low income. My current salary though is way above the minimum threshold. Do I need to provide my older payslips to show that I was getting decent pay before I went on maternity? Do I need to ask my employer to include the confirmation that I was on maternity in their letter?The Financial Requirement threshold
- Do I need to certify my bank statements at my bank?
- Do I need to ask HR to certify my payslips?
Does "any period" just mean the past 6 months?Payslips covering any period of salaried employment (current and previous) in the period of 6 months prior to the date of application
Many thanks for your advice in advance.
Alex
