Please help with my case

[Kaberi2012]

Hi all the experts here, please can you give me some advice on my case?

I have been under Tire1 for nearly 5 years now and am about to apply for ILR next month. My past 12months earning consists of two parts. Part one is a couple of month's salary received from a previous employer. Part two is the rest monthly earnings from a company initially registered by my husband who is a dependant of mine.

My concern is the the part two earning. The LTD company wasn't set up just to pay me salary but was established immediately after i lost my first job. It meant to do some serious business, but until now the money earned is not enough to cover my salary. It is normal in a business world as most business take their time to gain profit, but will home office think so?

I am thinking to use the payslip and personal bank statement only to claim points as i am the employee of the company- not director, not shareholder. Do you think this is workable?

Your advice will be appreciated

Hi Kaberi,

This will work as long as you can show that there was money coming in company accounts from any source and you were working for company in some role.

You should better get others advice also on this.

Thanks

Thanks Shargaur!

So you think i should also show them the business account of the company?

I was hoping to avoid showing them the relationship between me and the company, purely treat myself as an employee of the company which is a fact.

I don't agree to the above mentioned statement. As you are not the director or a shareholder in the company, you don't need to submit the business bank account statement. A letter from your employer (your husband's limited company) should be good enough.

I guess what you've done here is: You worked for a client 'x' earlier and when you lost your job your husband added you as an employee of his company 'Y'. You were paid normal salary for no real services provided to the company. You being the main applicant aren't legally allowed to claim the earnings of your partner as your own but I guess UKBA doesn't take into account all these matters. They just check if you were financially active and you might still be able to get through.

I would still suggest getting in touch with an Immigration consultant.

Hi QuickSam, thanks for your advice. You were right apart from i do do real work for my husband's company. As a matter of fact, most of the work is done by me as he has a full time job himself. He has now resigned from the director position and is not a shareholder of the compnay anymore.
