Hi Patrick
You are just going to have to trust me on this rather than trawling the internet!

We wll be using a combination of your self employment and employment, as long as you earned over £18,600 with a combination of your employment and self employment then you will be fine, furthermore the worst thing that can happen is that you are kept on the 10 year route. There is nothing to lose in trying to got on the 5 year route and everything to gain!!!

Solicitor itself seems uncertain over using that route while totally forgetting that refusal of FLRM doesn't necessarily results in the grant of flrfp (same as said before). The most securest way would be to apply under same route then vary into to flrm later (same as said before). Only the income from full last financial year or the average of last two financial years can be used which isn't possible under your circumstances. Despite all that miracles/errors/mistakes do happen but these happens less likely over financial requirement. You can still follow your solicitor if you think is appropriate.

Hi guys i been with current employer less than 6 months and i just received below from solicitor.is that possible doing technical application?

You can’t change to 5 year route if you have not been in employment for 6 months but due to the Coronavirus issue we can do a technical application to buy time until end of June. But I would love to see your dec to march payslips

If you have previously worked than can apply under category B instead. For this purpose you must have earned £18600 during the last 12 months and also you current income must be £18600 pa.

Hi seagul,CR001
Problem with (previous 12 months employment) is that i was self employed and that activity is not active by the time to do application in 2 weeks.
Have a look on this reply below from solicitor and advise me if you can.Bear in mind my self employment finished in November last year and I did earn above £18600.

Many thanks for coming back to me and for waiting for my reply.  As you know, I would be pleased to assist you with your application to switch from the 10 year route to the 5 year route.  Given that you earned £18,600 gross or above in the last tax year it sounds as though you will meet the FLR(M) financial requirement so I can’t see any reason why you could not make a successful switch, assuming that you and your partner have lived together for at least the last 2 years.  The main thing about the financial requirement is your earnings in the last full financial year; it doesn’t matter if you have not met the financial requirement since then.  We don’t have to show that you have been in employment for 6 months immediately prior to your application; we will rely on the fact that you earned enough through self-employment in the last full financial year.

You need to refer to previous replies which all are still same unless your circumstances have been changed. For counting the self employment incomes under category F and H the financial years need to have been completed in full with all trading/business/employment activities throughout the whole year which in your case were ceased when you initiated your present paye employment and shouldn't be ongoing on the date of application. Therefore, applying extension under same route then vary it into flrm route once you will complete your six months with supporting documents will be more secure (same as advised earlier).
However if your solicitor is so confident then you can follow him/her as he may have better plan.
