Thanks for your response, Ive looked at the link you posted as well as Immigration Rules appendix FM and IDI Adequate Maintenance and Accommodation part 8 Annex F.CR001 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 11:27 amIt is only needed if you live in a shared property with other non-related adults, i.e. a houseshare or HMO.
If you own your own home and live there exclusively, it is not required.
See link below on HO's guide to overcrowding etc.
immigration-for-family-members/guidance ... t6227.html
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ion-maa--29. MAA9 Assessing adequate accommodation
The ECO should be satisfied that the accommodation complies with the following requirements:
it is (or will be) owned or legally occupied for the exclusive use of the couple (see definition in section below); and
it is capable of accommodating the couple, and any children, without overcrowding as defined in the Housing Act 1985 (see MAA134).
Depending on the circumstances of the case, there may be other relevant factors; for example, the ECO should be satisfied that housing the couple in rented accommodation will not be in breach of any tenancy agreement as regards sub-letting (see below).
If accounts are filled yearly, then current year will be filled in 2020 year.confusedcitizen wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 3:15 pmMy wife's applying for a spouse settlement visa to come to UK
As her sponsor and working for a limited company i have to provide a lot of extra documents including accounts.
In Appendix FM-SE (b) (iv) it says "if the company is not required to produce annual audited accounts, unaudited accounts for the last full financial year...."
The accounts for 2018-2019 haven't been completed yet, does anyone know if the previous years company accounts 2017-2018 will suffice?
Thanks in advance guys
Right, our company tax year is April - March every year.matt_murdoch wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2019 7:57 amHi,
If your company tax year is still 2018-19 at the time of applying then you can submit 2017-18 as you need to provide the information for the last full financial year.
When does your company year run till?
This means the Corporation Tax (CT600), record of filing to HMRC, accounts, payslips, dividend vouchers, and bank statements (business and personal showing money going in) for the last full financial year.
Along with this, include all the information above (except tax and accounts) for time from 2017-18 till now.
yes, you should have April 2018 to April 2019 ready means you are up to date and 2019 will get filed in 2020. Experts can shed some light on it.confusedcitizen wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2019 7:01 pmRight, our company tax year is April - March every year.matt_murdoch wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2019 7:57 amHi,

Even though the tax year period from April 2018 - March 2019 has finished, the paperwork is going to take ages to gather.
So does that mean we can supply the April 2017 - March 2018 one which is already gathered together?
As your 18/19 dates have passed, that is your last full financial year , so that is what they are asking for.confusedcitizen wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2019 7:01 pmRight, our company tax year is April - March every year.matt_murdoch wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2019 7:57 amHi,

If you wont be paid for those holidays then yes it will affect. Best way is to gather all 6 months of payslips with sufficient income and then apply and afterwards you can travel.confusedcitizen wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 6:29 pmI'm my wifes sponsor for her to come to UK from US on a spouse visa.
Obviously i have to supply my last 6 months wage slips when we apply however i want to travel to see her in the meantime but wouldnt get paid for that holiday as i've used up all my holiday days already.
Would this cause a problem with the application even if it was explained i was away and thats why i wasnt paid?
thank you
If you don't intend to submit your priority application through VFS, where are you planning to submit it?confusedcitizen wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 8:07 pmAbout to reapply for a spouse visa, (priority, but not with VFSGloabl as we've heard bad things about them) things have changed slightly since we last did it.
Two Questions:
1) We've paid the IHS charge but not the application fee yet. If we pay that now will we be given a time limit to self upload/post documents? or does the time limit only happen after booking the biometrics?
2) I understand there is an option for the sponsor to manually submit evidence from the UK rather than post from the USA? Does this also have to be done a certain number of days after booking biometrics?
thanks
Can you be more specific about your situation is and which of the requirements you are trying to meet with those documents? It sounds like you may be try to collect the documents required for employees of a specified limited company as per paragraph 9.(a) of Appendix FM-SE, which would typically be for companies you are a director of or are owned by family members, but the rest of your post suggests that may not be the case.confusedcitizen wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 1:47 pmBecause i work for a LTD company i have to provide a lot of extra evidence as the sponsor of my wifes spouse visa.
Questions regarding the Immigration Rules Appendix FM-SE:
1) Do i need my managers P60 and dividend voucher? or is that only for me?
2) I have the business bank statements as well as mine but do i need the managers personal bank statement showing his wages going in? (because that seems daft)
3) The LTD business is currently being taken over by a new manager, i have a letter stating my jobs safe, will i need to include anything extra?
Thanks as always
Thanks, that makes sense. You do not need to provide any bank statements, P60 or dividend vouchers for your manager, only for yourself (as applicable). The letter is probably sufficient to address the change in ownership, but note that you do have to provide " evidence of ongoing employment as a director or other employee of the company or of ongoing dividend income from the company" (e.g. payslips and bank statements for salaried employment).confusedcitizen wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 3:54 pmI'm an employee of a LTD company and my dad was the director up until the 1st Jan 2020 when the business was taken over by a new manager. I dont have any shares or dividends.
We applied months ago but were rejected as i didnt realise i had to include all the company accounts and tax returns etc if i worked for a LTD company. I thought that was only if i was the director.

1. No, the credit card statement isn't necessary. Just the bank statements for your personal account showing the wages going in is all the is required.confusedcitizen wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2020 9:14 pm1) Would i have to provide a credit card statement as well? or would my regular statement showing my wages going in be sufficient?
2) Do i need a copy of my new employment contract because i still dont have that... i do however have a letter from my old boss and new boss stating that my job is safe and permanent.
3) i have a current appointment report already showing my old boss on there, will i have to get another one now showing my new boss on there?
Thanks again!
Gotcha! thanks for that. Much appreciated! Few more things as you've been so knowledgeable:geoeng wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 8:22 am1. No, the credit card statement isn't necessary.

2. Employment contracts are not a required piece of evidence under Appendix FM-SE (paragraph 2A). The officer reviewing the application may request it if they feel they need additional documentation, but it is not necessary to include include with the application submission.
3. I'm not sure how "current" yours is if it shows an old boss. The specified evidence listed in paragraph 9 of Appendix FM-SE is a current appointment report from Companies House, my guess would be "current" is the same as what is available from Companies House at the application date.
1. Unfortunately I'm not sure as I've never done a spouse visa application outside the UK and the one application I did do outside the UK required in-person submission of documents, but I believe the answer to that is yes.confusedcitizen wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 3:10 pm1) Once we've completed and paid for the online application at gov.uk will it then give us the option to upload online?
2) If were uploading online is there a deadline to get everything on there?
3) Would my wife still have to send her passport to the UKVI? If so is there a deadline after the biometrics?
thanks!
Okay, so she'd have to mail the passport on its own to the UKVI, and they should already know we've submitted the rest online?geoeng wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 3:21 pm1.

2. You will generally want to have any documents uploaded prior to the biometrics appointment and any other deadlines with regards to document uploading should be stated on the page once you get to that point.
3. Yes, it is submitted at the biometrics appointment. In most countries a service that allows the passport to be kept while the application is being processed is available for an additional fee; however, the passport would still have to be submitted once the application is processed.
It is usually physically handed over at the biometric appointment.confusedcitizen wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 3:25 pmOkay, so she'd have to mail the passport on its own to the UKVI, and they should already know we've submitted the rest online?
