    I am not sure how I would present our financial documents and what category to tick.My husband receives gov't pension (2) and private pension (1) and at the same time he works part time .
    On my previous visa (fiance) we submitted the pensions only to meet the requirement.
    We wanted to include his salary from his part time job now as it is also taxed..WHAT CATEGORY THEN should I go for?
    Anyone has been in this confusions?
    On 8.4
    I ticked Cambridge English for the question which Awarding body you rely on For English cert. (IELTS).
    But next questions confuses me.
    Title of Qualification ?
    Level of Qualification?
    How about Section 9 BRP page.. need to be filled up now even if I chose to send application by post?

    My CeNoMar original copy was submitted to Registrars Office for marriage requirement and they just gave me a scanned copy of it,would it be acceptable ?
    This is my last week of preparation and this should be sent next week by post .I hope all things ready soon.
    Thanks for your help guys.

    If your new visa is as a married spouse then you do not need a cenomar but you do need your marriage certificate. Afraid I don't know the answer to the income question. The title and level most likely refers to the detail of the IELTS course so my wife for example would put level A1 and title of IELTS life skills - you should know the detail of the language exam you sat or it should appear on the certificate.

    If I was you I would just look at the Fiancée visa application you submitted and use that for a guideline, the FLR is the same apart from needing marriage certificate, proof of address and paying the NHS surcharge.

    Yes i should check it out on my cert.It was general training B1 ...so I think it is what I'm suppose to put then.Thanks for giving me an idea what you write on it.Sometimes we lost ideas thinking how to perfect our approach to things esp visa concern.
    Yes my next visa after fiance visa would be the FLR (M).
    Cheers

    We were thinking of that too but I'm not sure if ukvi would find out he has undeclared income and would affect visa decision.
    Or how about we will just attached his P60 from employment and make a note that we no longer include this because we use the category C instead?
    I will need to read more and hear from you all to see if pensions can be combined with salary ?
    I hope it can be.

    If he met the requirement before then just do the same as last time. They don't care about undeclared income. Maybe you could mention it in your cover letter to explain what the extra bank payments are.

    Cenomar is never needed for UKVI applications. It's only needed for Premier service appointments inside The Philippines.

    Besides, you are married, so it's not relevant anyway.

    I believe an application with solely pension income should be made under category E. I am sure there are members here who could confirm that.

    Hi bit confused with flr (m) question 7.3a question iv, it's saying, have you or your sponser been in other employment in the 12 months prior to the date of this application other than your or their current employment? (Categorie B)

    My partner earns more than the requirements but wages are up and down due to overtime but alway exceeds requirements so I assume category B but he's been with the current company since 2007 yet it's asking about other employment? Can someone clarify that for me please?

    My husbands wages fluctuate every month but last p60 exceeded 24k he's been working with the same company nearly 10 years would he be category A? Or B? Thanks.

    In your case - the salary is well-above the requirement, either would be ok. But kindly verify too. I'd calculate for both categories and check if both are met.
    What did you state in your fiancee visa though? Most questions are the same.

    Have a look at these sections relevant to you:
    5.1. Category A: With current employer for 6 months or more – person residing in the UK
    5.1.1. Where the applicant’s partner (and/or the applicant if they are in the UK with permission to work) is in salaried employment at the date of application and has been with the same employer for at least 6 months prior to the date of application, they can count their gross annual salary towards the financial requirement. In doing so they must have been paid throughout the period of 6 months prior to the date of application at a level of gross annual salary which equals or exceeds the level relied upon in the application.​

    5.3. Category B: Less than 6 months with current employer or variable income – person residing in the UK
    5.3.1. This category can be used where the applicant’s partner (and/or the applicant if they are in the UK with permission to work) is in salaried or non-salaried employment at the date of application, but has not been with the same employer and/or not earning the income level relied upon in the application for at least 6 months prior to the date of application. It can therefore be used by those who have been with their current employer for less than 6 months, or who have been with their current employer for at least 6 months but earning a variable income and wish to be considered in this category rather than under Category A.

    See what the others would say too. Good luck.

    He applied under category B I was confused because it's asking about previous employment in category B and asking address and job, but he's been working nearly 10 years in his current employment he does overtime to boost his monthly income.

    Answer 7.3A (iv) if you answered NO to 7.3A (iii). If you're still not sure, you could use Section 8B to state any other information you wish to clear or add to your application.

    I understand it can be confusing sometimes. Good luck with the application.

    Use category A, he has been employed (salaried) by the same company for more than six months and easily meets the requirement.

    Just make sure his last six months payslips amount to £9,300.

    Remember to get a letter from his employer stating how much he earns, how long he has been paid that amount for and whether the job is permanent or temporary.

    Don't make any mistakes, if you're not sure ask, the application is too expensive, time consuming and stressful to cock it up :)
