Hi, One of my friends is a British citizen and she wants to bring her husband here. She is employed by a UK company in the UK and pays taxes on her income in the UK. However, due to the nature of her job, she is outside the UK most of the time (maybe more than 8 months a year). Now, she wonders whet...

Thank you for your reply however in the links you provided other members assumed that this may lead to refusal but I could not find an actual case being refused based on this. Immigration rules clearly says that the employment should be active at the date of application and nothing said at all abou...

Thank you again. Your new post actually repeating the previous one and I still could not find any actual that being refused based on this and the post you referred to does not show it as well. Also, rules never says that the employment should be in force even after the application. Paragraph 5.1.1 i...

I forgot to update but the visa in question was granted which shows my understanding of the rules was correct and cash in hand could be used.

Hi, One of my friend applied for spouse visa and now after two months from the application date (and it has not been decided yet) the sponsor in the UK lost his job and has not found a new one yet. Now, my question is that whether they have to inform the UKVI? According to the rules the financial re...

Hi,

Is it possible that someone with a certificate of ROA travels to the UK and then applies for a British passport from inside the UK? in that case they will cancel their certificate of ROA?

Thanks

Hi,

Who can accompany a child under 16 who wants to extend her Tier 4 leave in the premium service centre? Is her immigration adviser acceptable to accompany her and what documents should she has with herself?

Thanks

Hi, I have a question for an in-country Tier 4 application. I read in the guidance that it should not be made more than 3 months before the course start date. however, in the rules it is clearly stated that the new leave will be granted up to one month before the course start date. Someone told me, ...

I think the concept of mortgage rental income is similar to loan money or third party support which HO prohibits to use in meeting financial requirements. It is what made me confused but it seems that mortgage is not an issue as one of the evidences that HO accepts is Mortgage statement to show the...

Equity is NOT rental income. If their is equity in the property, it basically means it is worth more than the debt. You cannot use this to meet the financial requirements. You can use rental income, provided it is enough and all obligations are met etc. Thank you but i am still confused. so we can ...

Hi, I am a bit confused about the guidance on rental income. it is said that the property should be owned by the sponsor and then said: Equity in a property cannot be used to meet the financial requirement. What does it mean? it means that the sponsor cannot rely on a mortgaged property and they sho...

It would be appreciated if you give me an example of these refused self-employed as anyone I've seen so far was employed. Also, if the rules are clear the paragraph I posted above is also very clear and explicitly implies that in the case of correct paid tax amount, flexibility can be given. I just ...

I am asking to know the others opinion. Your reason is for employed people and all of the cases I've found in the forum and all refusals are for employed people and not the self-employed one. The guidance is very clear for both employed (where the cash should be banked) and self-employed (as above)....

thank you but the guidance says otherwise: ...may only be applied where the decision-maker is satisfied that the cash income relied upon is fully evidenced by the relevant tax return(s) and the accounts information. it is not that easy, financial accounts are prepared by a chartered accountant and s...

Hi, I've seen couple of thread related to the refusal of the application as the sponsor's cash incomes were not banked. However, what is the situation for a self-employed person such as taxi driver? I found it from the Appendix FM 1.7: Self-employed income can be cash-in-hand if the correct tax is p...

I know this is an old thread but given the following paragraph, is it possible for a self-employed to use tax returns and financial accounts to reflect the income? Self-employed income can be cash-in-hand if the correct tax is paid. In line with paragraph 3.1.5 of this guidance, it would generally b...

Thank you for your reply but I still cannot find my answer. Does it include balance sheet?

I have another question: what does HO mean by unaudited accounts? Is a profit/loss statement and a letter from the accountant that the business is exempted from audit fine or it should include balance sheet?

So you prefer appeal. It takes couple of months although. But does she have any chance in a fresh application?

Hi, One of my friends just got refused a spouse settlement entry clearance. His employer changed his legal status from sole-trader to limited company during her employment. ECO inquired from HMRC about her tax payments and wrongly reached a decision that her employment was terminated long before her...

Hi, Is a hotel reservation (for about 30 days) acceptable to meet the accommodation requirement of the visa? The sponsor and the application are both living abroad and they use the cash saving to meet the financial requirements. They are struggling to find a more permanent place and are thinking of ...

Thank you all. My friend did not tell my everything and I just found out that she has worked since 8 months ago. Based on this fact I assume she can apply for a registration certificate based on working status in the UK? and after 5 years of working she can apply for PR. Given the uncertainty follow...

Hi, Does an EU citizen who has lived in the UK for many years but not worked most of the time (due to motherhood and family reasons) can apply for an EU residency card or permanent residency? Thanks What is the nationality of the EEA National? Danish, but does it make any difference? I know many EE...
