SET(M) Weird Requirements!

Hi All, new version of SET(M) asks for strange documents. In the children section it asks for plenty of documents which for some of them I even do not understand what should be provided? for example what do they mean by: Evidence of your and/or any partner’s parental responsibility for the child/chi...

Re: Certificate of ROA

Hi and thank you for your response. The same person applied for his child's British passport however he was told that it may take several months. Now, someone told him that he could apply for a settlement visa (Appendix FM) for his child. Is it correct? I am under the impression that as his child ha...

Sponsor Mostly Outside the UK

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...

Loss of Job After Application

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...

Certificate of ROA

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

Re: Rental Income

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...

Re: Rental Income

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 ...

Rental Income

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 ...

Re: Cash in Hand Income

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)....

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...
