Going by your first post, you alone meets the requirement with the amount you stated as income. You can rely on this alone. Bringing in your wife's income leads to more paperwork which can confuse caseworker. Summary is to keep the application straight forward, keep to your income so far it meets the requirement.

Thank you very much for the reply.One of the solicitor advised us to combine the income.

I have antoher question since my baby is british citizen do I need to include as a dependent into the application as additional.

Thank you very much for the reply.One of the solicitor advised us to combine the income. Some of the solicitors by their lack of or limited knowledge of the services people pay them for have truncated or complicated people's immigration journey.

No.

For an extension, you will need two years evidence of cohabitation documents in both your names, from 3 to 6 different sources, spread evenly for every 3 to 4 months.

[diljayakody1805]

"Would your children be affected if your application was refused? (Required)
If you do not have any children please select 'No' "

Answer it to the best of your knowledge. There is no right or wrong answer as such.

The answer will be different for different applicants, depending on their circumstance.

" Provide details of the role you take in child upbringing, including details of your parental responsibility or
access arrangements? "
(how do i word this please we have one baby born in UK?

[diljayakody1805]

Thank you very much for the reply. also the reason I am combining my wife income, my bank account always goes overdraft because of the baby things to buy. Will that make a negative effect eventhough my income is £20000 per annum.I understand its above the threshold.

[CR001]

Your overdraft is irrelevant. UKVI is ONLy concerned about your income.

Firstly we were living in house. We have a letter from landlord confirming the accomodation for my wife only.That letter was for differernt purpose. It is a year old letter. Now we are living in a flat which we have tenancy agreement. We do have letters to confirm the old address such as NHS letters and bank statement.

Do we need a tenancy agreement for the old address.

If you could advice about this highly appreciated. Thank you

Do we need a tenancy agreement for the old address.

No. Your cohabitation evidences addressed on old address aren't needed to corroborate with the inclusion/attachment of old tenancy agreement unless you voluntarily wish to do so.

I do not think you need it. Take the correspondence from the old address, then get the new TA and other correspondence at the new address to meet up thr the 2years cohabitation requirement.

[diljayakody1805]

We have a baby. On the part of the application asking to provide "Evidence of where XXXXX other parent lives-such as utility bills". Do we have to provide utility bills from her birth or latest bill. We both look after our baby in our flat.We stated on the application that we both look after the baby and nobody else.

We already have letters of correspondence address to me and my wife covering the last 2 years.I dont understand why this is coming up.
