It's all about the money! Together we'll explore the financial requirements of Appendix FM.
Level: Intermediate
Description:
At the end of the course participants should fully understand the financial requirements in Appendix FM, the transitional arrangements in place for those who started on the partner route pre-April 2024, and the related evidential requirements in Appendix FM-SE, leaving them equipped to handle a range of applications involving different financial circumstances.
Topics will cover the requirements for partners and other family members under Appendix FM and Appendix FM-SE, including:
• new minimum income requirement and transitional provisions
• calculating level of income/savings required
• permitted sources of income
• specified evidence
• methods of calculating salaried employment, self-employment, non-employment income and cash savings
• combining sources of income
• adequate maintenance test
• other sources of income, financial support or funds and the differing exceptionality tests
• case studies
The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the financial requirements for partner-based applications for entry clearance and leave to remain made under Appendices FM and FM-SE, and to explore in detail aspects of those rules. Come prepared with a calculator!
Audience: The session is aimed at those who are already practising in this area, and will assume working knowledge of the structure of Appendix FM within the immigration rules.
