Questions - Spouse visa

Post by itmanager » Sun Apr 10, 2022 6:49 pm

I have got this question whilst making an application today for Spouse visa extension.

my wife got 1st spouse visa in May 2012. I applied for ILR in July 2013 and my wife applied for Visa extension.
Both of our visas got refused in April 2015, reason Main applicant (my issue).

My solicitor made Judicial review only for my application and did not applied for my wife. she left UK in 2016 April. My issue got resolved and I was granted ILR in 2018.

My wife made a fresh application in April 2019. her application was granted in july 2019 and now we are applying for FLRM spouse visa extension.

Can someone please advise what is have to choose below
===========================================================================================
Were you originally granted leave on the basis of an application made before 9 July 2012 as a partner on the family route?
Your original leave to remain would have been for 2 years. You cannot have had an application considered, granted or refused on another route since that time.

Yes or No

The online statements or payslip needs not be stamped or signed.

The payslips supplied by YOUR NAME in support of his application are genuine.

Payslips- my last Payslip is dated 25th March for period 1-31st March 2022.

22nd April will make it smack on 28day and if absolutely guaranteed/confirmed you can get it by then no issues. You may want to get the letter for latter to give you chance of using April payslip and give you some wiggle room.

Thank you AmazonianX

Requested letter from NHS on 3rd April and they responded on 12th April saying they will only do letter by 21st or 22nd. Visa expires on 26th April and using 25th April payslip would create complications.

1) bank statement wouldn't generate till 3rd of May (3rd of April to 3rd may)
2) HR needs to change payslip dates in Employer letter
3) already stressed about not having enough docs for Cohabitation

4) In April 2022 he has provided letter that me and my wife both are living since 2019 at same address.

OPTION A Says atleast 3 different sources
1) Council Tax 2) Water Bills 3) Tenancy agreement

my actual question is
Does the Letting agents (ONLY MY NAME) Tenancy agreement + Letting agents letter (NOC for my WIFE) consider as address proof for joint names
