A little background info: I am a UK citizen, my wife is Filipino, we met and were married in Cyprus (where she was living at the time). We sorted out the spouse visa (issued for 33 months) and she arrived in the UK on the 21st March 2015.
I have some questions regarding the FLR(m) application form (April 2017) and would appreciate your thoughts:
2.3 Please indicate what stage of extension of leave you are applying for or why you are choosing to extend your current leave in one of the above categories.
This one has confused me! She applied for the spouse visa outside of the country, was granted 33 months, so this FLR(m) application is our:
1) First period of leave to remain (following an initial period of entry clearance as a partner) or
2) Second period of leave to remain (following initial grant of leave to remain as a partner).
I’m thinking 1) but I just wanted to check as I read some conflicting info when using the search bar on the forum :/
7.3 You or your sponsor must have been employed by the same employer for 6 months prior to the application and your combined total earnings must meet the specified amount at 7.3A (xiv) for this 6 month period. If not, does you and your sponsors income from salaried employment received in the 12 months prior to application meet or exceed the financial requirement you must meet?
I’ve been earning over £18,600 for the last 4 years. The following figures are not my actual salary but are used to demonstrate my situation. I got a pay rise in July 2017 of £1000, to £25,000. Therefore June, May, April, March, February show £24000.
As £25,000 is written in 7.3A (xiv) do I have to include 12months? Will the P60 cover this?
8.4 Provide the SELT unique electronic reference number provided by the awarding body
My wife took an IELTS test, following guidance on the UKVI website and passed the test.
We have a certificate but we I do not know which number this is. I have a “UKVI Number” or a “Test Report Form Number”. Is anyone familiar with which goes in the box? I’ll include the certificate anyway and make a note.
8.7 If you have any reasons or grounds for wishing to stay in the United Kingdom which you have not already mentioned in your application you should do so now in the box below.
Are things like, my wife works in the NHS, we want to build a family here, buy a house etc required? I presume we can include this in a cover letter?
Thanks again
