A lot of applicants/sponsor has the same desire to save the accomodation cost without looking on the heavy application fee and the consequences if application will reject on that basis. That accomodation arrangements more likely won't be accepted because London to Leeds has nearly 200 miles distances and no ordinary person can manage or even commute back to London on daily basis.AliK23 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 9:08 amHello,
I will be applying for a spouse visa in April and, if granted, expect to go to UK in August 2020.
Regarding accommodation, my wife and I are planning to temporarily live in her parents house in London (it does abide the standards they need).
However, my wife currently lives and works in Leeds and it is where we plan to live together. Would that temporary move to London be regarded as fishy to UKVI given that she'd lose her source of income for that period?
The thing is, my wife works part-time at schools and tutors students privately, both of which do not earn her a lot of money in summer time anyway, and we wouldn't lose out on a lot during that temporary move.
We prefer not to commit to long term rentals in Leeds (Is 6+ months the minimum?) when we do not know whether the Visa will be granted or not.
Thank you.
9.3.8. 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 be expected that the person’s
business or personal bank statements would fully reflect all gross (pre-tax) cash income.
Flexibility 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.

The cash in hand proceeds must be banked in full and also be backed with relevant evidence. Also most importantly that amount must be included in the tax returns.AliK23 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 7:06 pmseagul wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 1:28 pmThe quote you have transported here is actually for salaried & none-salaried income and the none-employment income.

Hi seagul,
The quote I have sent is actually part of bullet point 1 in Appendix FM which is "general provisions" which I assumed always applies?
If that's not the case, the way I understand the quote you sent is that cash income (which should show in bank statements) is different than cash-in-hand which doesn't show in bank statements and necessitate further evidence. Am I correct in thinking so?
Also, do you think they mean the tax return should be paid rather than submitted?
Thank you.

Yes I included that in the self-employment section
If the income threshold can be met through employment then there is no need to include the self employment for a straightforward case.
We are barely making the threshold by £100 while combining both.
To cover that shortfall if you have cash savings then you can even use it in substitution of extensive range of self employment documents.
Various factors can influence how soon. There are applicants who get mail for collection next day and some 3 days after, may be some much later....experiences vary. Will hope you update us on yours when you finally get it. Good luck.AliK23 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 1:53 pmHello,
I have been tracking the processing of my application and 2 days ago my application was sent to TLSContact center in Lebanon. Does anyone know how long does it usually take for them to receive it and send me the email to go and collect my passport?
I have been really anxious last couple of days and would like to get an idea..
Thanks.
