Spouse ILR AND SPONSOR IN COVID19 PANDEMIC

Post by Sponsor_ilr-set(M) » Sun May 10, 2020 12:30 pm

Hi
I am British citizen and I have submitted online my (wife & along with my son) spouse 5years route ILR application last week, SET(M). Fee had been deducted from my account. Still unable to upload my documents as ukvcas website services are suspended & centres are still closed due to covid19. I have three questions, I ll really appreciate the answers from senior members. I really apologize in advance if these questions were already asked
Question#1:I have chosen the standard service as there was no option for choosing priority service. Can I change the service to priority service after ukvcas services resume???
Question#2: I am currently on FURLOUGH. Will my Furlough income be considered as regular income as a sponsor?
Question#3: Do I have to maintain job as a sponsor even after earning requirements were met at the time of my wife and son ilr spouse 5year route application?
I ll really appreciate for quick response
.
Regards

Q1. No, there is no longer an upgrade option since November 2018.

Q2. Likely yes as long as it meets the requirement.

Q3. Yes.

@CR001 thank you, really appreciate for your replies.
I have one more last question please
Question#Does it has to be the same job which I showed income from? Or Will it be fine in case I lose my job and find another one?

It can be with different employer provided you choose the correct category usually category B.

@seagul
I have crossed that point and already submitted application. I think you did not understand my query.

Actually CR001 knows my full query with chain of questions.

Hi Sponsor_ilr_set(M)

Its depend on the time of the application,if you have met Financial requirement as per Appendix FM 1.7 Financial requirement. After that it does not matter if you changed the employer,you just need to informed UKVI (Home office) about your new job with supporting documents.

Whether you have crossed that point or not the change of employer comes under category B. Also anything dated after the date of application is usually be not considered. Despite the income earned until the date of application matters but still ukvi caseworker expect to see the person with same employer on enquiry which maybe pardoned due to loss of job amid cvd19.

As i mentioned and Seag you agreed that what matters is till the time of application.. yes they can might contact your employer for that as i said earlier send Home office your new employment contract asap before they trace you.

Hi everyone
My wife with my son submitted SET(M)application 5years rout on "6th of May" online before one day of visa expiry date.But didn't upload supporting documents. We are waiting for centres to open.

You can keep continue to upload supporting documents until the date of biometrics appointment with ukvcas. Also for an additional fee you can ask them to upload these for you.
