queries: spouse visa

Hello,
Please, how much of an effect does being un-employed have on spouse visa application (i.e. Applicant (not sponsor) is unemployed)?

As it stands, been out of the UK for almost 2 yrs now (1yr 8 months maybe). For the first year, I worked, it was an internship. Now, currently not working. No inncome presently going into my accounnt.
So, knowing the above, do I go ahead and include a bank statement of my accounnt in the application (knowing there's really not thaat much in it)?
And, on the form (Part 5), question 5.10, where it asks, what is your monthly income from all sources of empolyment or occupation after tax . Do I answer, "£0" or put my last income?

Thanks in advance.

Feel baad putting in £0, like I should have done any sort of job, even though I'd end up living it in less than a year.

Put zero. It does not matter that you have no job or income.

Thanks so much for your reply.
So, how about the issue of bank statements? Should I still include 6 months bank statement in the application?

Also, with regards the sponsor. When they ask, "does your sponsor have any savings?" (although, she has a savings account, but the some money in it gets used for expenses). Do we put, "yes"?

Thanks in advance.

You can rely solely on your sponsor's evidence. Your income from the job you have in your location (if you had one) would be worthless after you move to the UK in any case.

Than you. Much appreciated. Will forget about submitting my bank statements then.

Thanks

Pls, this has to be like the second or third time I'm getting this statement. How are my posts duplicates? I admit maybe onne was. But not the recent post on my certificate/english stuff.

Wasn't also sure if I should create a new thread with my last post either

You don't need to create a new topic for every new question that you may have regarding the same - one - subject / topic in question - a spouse visa application. The subject or topic here is not the "question" but the "spouse visa application".

If you cannot answer 50 questions in 1 form, don't create 50 topics for each question ..... but use one topic to seek answers for all the 50 questions!

Understood. Apologies.

Now I know. Thought different questions, different topic/thread.

So, the recent question of mine in a new thread, that got deleted. I'd have to write it up in this thread. Yh? Saying so because, its wasn't answered yet.

Thanks

Ok,
So, overstayer went to University in the UK. Now applying for spouse visa. Thinking if one could use the certificate obtained as proof of English language, if its advisable or one should have written the test. Which is best?

Had this rather odd thought that, when the ECO sees the certificate. He could seize it, saying one went to University while an overstayer and at the expense of govt. funds (since home student fees was paid). Is this possible or I'm just over-thinking it?

Note: I know what was done here was wrong. 2bh, wasn't aware of all this rules till second year of Uni, kinda. Was young and naïve. No deception was used here (No fake documents or anything).

Thanks in advance.

Watch out for 320(11)

Ooh no! Have no plan to hide my previous immigration history at all! Definitely not!

Was just asking to find out where any weakness in my application is.

And yh, I am aware of 320(11). Kinda worried about it.

So, what part of my application would you say is very attractive to that 320(11) bullet?

Is it the fact I went to University, got NHS treatment (which is definitely less than £1000)? Which if I may ask?

And you said I could use either. So, my worry about the certificate being seized, is a little extreme you would say?

I don't believe the degree will / can be seized, because there is no deception.

But, having studied when paying home fees (when not eligible for) and NHS treatment as an overstayer - both come within the purview of 320(11).

Appreciate the reply. Only ever been to the GP say like 5 - 10 times. Paid for my drugs etc. Don't want to be pessimistic, but already thinking the worst here. That 320(11) paragraph sure is going to be an issue.
Either way, appreciate your help on this. I'd make attempts to certify the certificate. Read some documents could be misplaced in transit etc.

Once again, thank you!

Can't even begin to imaging a break up or exile with ones other half, all because of immigration! Wow! What a world man has built for himself!

Ok.
Feel I should have asked this a while back.
Anyway, its about the proof of accomodation.
We have included in the application "extracts" of the title deeds, ordered online.

Please, is this ok?

Just trying to verify.

Thanks
