Hello, following the news that the Financial Requirements are going up in 2024 from £18,600 to £38,700.

My wife will have completed the 5 year route in June next year, this new requirement, am I correct in saying we can use our join earnings for this requirement, as my wife has worked since day 1, collectively we make enough, but if its just on me then we don't, which is starting to make me worry.


Hope you can help, sorry if duplicated post, I did try t find the topic.

Regard

Nothing has been announced yet officially so we cannot provide any advice at all. It is all media buzz at this moment based on the given intentions of the government to curb the high levels of migration. Any rule changes are expected to be announced next year, probably to come into effect from April 2024. You have to wait until the home office provides the details of any changes next year. We will cover all changes here when announced, so wait until then

Hello there,

We are applying for my wife's settlement using the 5 year route, and wondered if you could advise on something.

When filling in the financial requirements we both meet them collectively, so on the application online, do we both declare the option x amount under the threshold? I'm assuming the home office will see we both earn enough together?

Kind regards

Lance

In theory, UKVI will look at the evidence provided to make a decision. I am not sure how to enter this on the form as the online forms regularly change and it is not possible to track these changes. I belive you could enter them separately

Good afternoon,

Wondered if you could help with a couple of things again.

My wife is just about to submit her ILR application and we are confused and concerned on a couple of things.

My wife's BRP runs out 7th July so next month, however she has received an email to apply for the new e BRP, and this now says it will expire in December, so which date would I put on the application as her brp expire date, her original date or the new one on the e-brp?

Lastly, we are due to move to another property in a few weeks, would I have to declare that, or does that not matter as we still still be in the same address of the application until a decision has been made.

Really appreciate your assistance on this as always.

Regards
Lance

You will provide the expiry date as it is on the card. The end of year expiry for BRPs often applies to ILR BRP cards as they are being phased out and only to people who do not have any visa time limit (ILR holders)

See: Information on eVisas as all BPRs will be phased out from 1st Jan 2025

If you are changing your address while having a pending application, you should update the UKVI: https://visa-address-update.service.gov.uk/

Thank you for that, very much appreciated
