Swap Fiance Visa to Spouse

8 years ago
Hello, I'm new here! I arrived in the Uk in June on a Fiancé Visa and now I'm getting ready to swap to the Spouse Visa. I'd appreciate if someone could clarify a few doubts.
1 - page 10 of the FLR(M) form: 1.13 Home Office reference number if you have (should I use the GWF number I got when I applied to the Fiancé Visa?)
2 - page 11 of the FLR(M) Form: Section 2 - Under which category are you applying for leave? (I came on a fiancé visa and will be married to my British husband, should I select the option: Spouse of a person present and settled in the UK and a biometric immigration document? Or "Fiancé or proposed partner of a person present and settled in the UK?)

3 - As I said, I came on a Fiancé Visa so I'm not eligible for employment here in the UK, but I do have an offshore working contract, but I've been on a paid sick leave since December 2015
Should I state this at section 7.3A Income from salaried employment? Or it doesn't matter because my income can not be taken in consideration to meet the financial requirement? We are relying entirely on Cash Savings to meet the financial requirements (Category D Alone).
4 - Meeting the financial requirements on Category D means I only need to fill up the section 7.3E Cash savings of the Section 7A - Financial Requirements?)

Thank you very much
