Date of Application of Visa Expiry Date

[cutegirl21]

Hi Champions,

I will need your kind advise as I am too much confused. I am a British citizen and want to apply ILR for my husband he has completed 5 years today and he is due to apply now SET (M) his current spouse visa is ending End of Sept

I have a question, which I am sure gurus like Zimba and others will take of my stress, as I need your advice.

My company Last Financial Year was October 2023 we have submitted the accounts at that time I was only director and my company was in loss and I was not taking salary as I was employed in other company.

I lost the job in XYZ company in Oct 23, but I got a service contract for my company and I start taking salary from my company from November 2023 onwards. My question If my husband apply end of September and my accountant said we can change your accounting period November 2023 to Aug 2024 (10 months) at the moment its October 2024 and you can submit CT600 and in this year my director wages which is coming in my personal account from business account will be above threshold, and of course this accounting period my company is in profit as the company from which i got contract sends money to my business account.

Will that be a accounting period of 10 months is fine (Its normal and legal from accounts point of view accountant said nothing new in it ) but need advice from immigration point of view as on few places they said it should be full 12 months? Is that necessary that accounts of financial is that necessary to be full 12 months to qualify ?

In the guide, category F refers to the full financial year which it says will be a 12-month period:

Category F: Last full financial year
Where the applicant’s partner (and/or the applicant if they are in the UK with
permission to work) is in self-employment or is either the director or employee (or
both) of a specified limited company in the UK, at the date of application, they can
use income from the last full financial year to meet the financial requirement.
.
.
For those employed as a director or other employee (or both) of a specified limited
company in the UK, the relevant financial year or years will be that covered by the
Company Tax Return CT600 and corresponds to the 12-month accounting year of
the company.

Hi Zimba,

Thanks for your prompt response so what i can do now can you please suggest my company is 13 years old and my company accounting period is always 31 October.

So i submitted November 22 to October 2023 accounts last week and my company was in loss.

Can I reduced the current accounting period to 11 months (Nov 23 to Sept 24) which accountant said you can as his visa is expiring end of September? And to cover that one month what i can do any guidance please.

Is it my mistake if my company accounting period ends in October there must be a solution as my current company accounts are in 40k profit and i have withdrawn £30k in director wages this current year but issue is my 12 months company period is not possible

Whats the solution here please?

Regards

You may ask your accountant to prepare a management account for a different period e.g., Sept 23-24. This does not match the CT600 but it can show that you made enough in the 12 months. That could be your best bet to satisfy the requirements

Hello,

I have a few questions my husband's visa is expiring on 27 Sept 2024 and he is due for ILR. I have a few questions. We have to rely on only my husband's income.

1. My husband started a job in a company on 5/3/24 and his package is £24k per annum, I hope it still meets the threshold and he will be considered in the old threshold of £18.6k per annum.

2. His employer was giving him a salary in the form of CHQ and we just saw the guidance and it said amount should come from the company to personal account so he spoke to HR dept of the company today they agreed that the salary of April & May they can deposit this week my question will that be a problem can home office raise a concern why salary of April & May comes like this recent week and June salary will come in to account as normally end of month. I tried to find the rules but cant see anywhere that period month salary should come same month. Anyhow I have original payslips from the company and I have an employment contract and appointment letter as well. His tax has already been submitted for March April May to hmrc.

3. If the salary comes in our Joint account will that be fine, or does it need to be in his solo personal account?

4. How long a bank statement do I need to send I believe I will need to send only from 15 June till 27 Sept I don't believe I need to send a six-month statement, as I saw the rules mentioned send that period when your salary came ?

5. I was planning to send the recent six months' salaries from April to Sept as sept payments I believe latest it will come one day before his visa expires, what do you recommend will they accept sept payslips or shall I send March to Aug Payslips. ?

Thanks in advance..

2. In respect of salaried employment in the UK (except where paragraph 9 applies), all of the following evidence must be provided:

• (a) Payslips covering:
  • (i) a period of 6 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for at least 6 months (and where paragraph 13(b) of this Appendix does not apply); or
  • (ii) any period of salaried employment in the period of 12 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for less than 6 months (or at least 6 months but the person does not rely on paragraph 13(a) of this Appendix), or in the financial year(s) relied upon by a self-employed person.
• (b) A letter from the employer(s) who issued the payslips at paragraph 2(a) confirming:
  • (i) the person’s employment and gross annual salary;
  • (ii) the length of their employment;
  • (iii) the period over which they have been or were paid the level of salary relied upon in the application; and
  • (iv) the type of employment (permanent, fixed-term contract or agency).
• (c) Personal bank statements corresponding to the same period(s) as the payslips at paragraph 2(a), showing that the salary has been paid into an account in the name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly.
• (d) Where the person is a director of a limited company based in the UK, evidence that the company is not of a type specified in paragraph 9(a). This can include the latest Annual Return filed at Companies House.
• (e) Where a person appointed as a non-executive director of a limited company based in the UK, which is not a company of the type specified in paragraph 9(a), is paid a fee instead of a salary, this income may be treated and evidenced as though it were income received for employment in that capacity.

Going for indefinite visa, will i consider be overstayed if i apply on 27 September online and if my biometric date appointment comes lets say on 5 October do i need to appear biometric by ,29 September?

No. The date of application is the date you submit and pay and NOT rhe biometric appointment date, which is ONLY for digital photos, fingerprints and identity check.
