FLR (M)/Help with finance question required

[dr_shiva29]

Hi All,

I am applying for an FLR(M) visa the following Tuesday and am stuck at couple of finance questions. I would appreciate if one of the experts can review my situation below and advice appropriately:

I and my wife are both working in the UK (she has an ILR and I am on Tier 2 ICT) and although we both meet the minimum financial requirement (without any children) independently of each other’s salary; it’s when we try and fill the form, it gets confusing. The scenario is:

Applicant: Same job for more than 6 months so 6 payslips; Salary from month 1-4 was £49000 and from month 5-6 was £52000

Sponsor (wife): Changed job 3 months before so 12 payslips; Salary from month 1-9 was £46000 and from month 10-12 was £51000

The questions that I would like some help with are:

Indicate the financial requirement you must meet here-

7.3 Current annual salary-

Indicate which option you are relying on: Cat A or Cat B-

7.3A (xv) And, if you/your sponsor answered ‘yes’ at (iv), what was your/your sponsor’s total income from salaried employment before tax (£) in the 12 months prior to the date of this application?-

You and your sponsor’s total combined income from salaried employment?-
I was thinking since we meet the financial requirement, there is no financial calculation to be done. Is that right?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

You can apply using your salary under Cat A. A1 English required.

Thanks for the reply, Amber. Unfortunately I am more confused now. Section 7A asks details about Sponsors employment and salary details and if I do give that information, I am assuming I have to furnish the documents pertaining to her salary as well.

In other words, how do I complete section 7 if I am applying using only my salary under Cat A? I am sure i cannot say NO to the question if my Sponsor is employed when actually she is. I know it might be a simple or stupid question but would appreciate your/anyone's response.

You can rely on your earnings, you may also include your spouse's.
