FLR M Financial Requirement Question

[mazresident]

Hi,
I require some advise in terms of meeting financial requirements of FLR M visa application for my self.

I came in to UK in Dec 2017 as a PBS Tier 4 Dependent. My husband got his ILR in Jan 2020 and we have a 6 months old baby born in UK. For the baby we only have the birth certificate, no passport or visa has been applied as of yet.
Currently my visa expires in end of August and I am thinking to apply under FLR M category.
My husband started working as a part-time (20hr/week) contract engineer from August 2019 to May 2020 at a salary scale of £23/hr. He didn't worked at all for the month of June 2020 and started a permanent employment with a new employer from July 2020 and he is currently salaried at £38k/annum. But he does not has last 6 months payslips from the new employer as he recently started working and it has just been two months as of yet.
I have been working part-time since December 2019 and earning £800/month since then.

Can I please get some advise if it is worth applying through FLR M route and if I meet the financial requirements of £22400/year with a child if I apply as a partner of a settled person? Or I need to apply FLR FP route? In either case, I do have sufficient English language proof.

Any help would be really appreciated.

If your partner has obtained his ILR in Jan 2020 and your uk born baby is 6 months old then most likely must have become British on birth and therefore would be exempted from financial threshold. I am sure other volunteer might guide you with up to date process of acquiring a baby passport.

Regarding meeting the financial threshold what you can do is to rely on category B where you both can combine your incomes earned during the last 12 months. For meeting the purpose under category B the combined/sole income earned during the last 12 months must be at least £18600 and the same should be at the time of application which actually is in your case. So good to go under category B.

Thank you so much for your response.
Can you please tell me if the online forms for FLR M and FLR FP are the same?
I started an application but I cannot tell which one is it. Under my application it only says "Family Route".
