Foreign currency inself employment

Post by socrates17 » Sun May 19, 2013 9:30 am

Applying for our spouse visa in the next few weeks.
I am self employed and have submitted all the documents required under FM-SE. My accounts have been certified by an accountant, I have evidence of my tax calculation etc etc.
Only concern is on my bank statements a couple of the payments are marked as Foreign Exchange. I was actually paid cash in hand in a foreign currency by some visitors to UK for work I did in the UK and am paying UK tax on - all declared and legit. I exchanged the currency in my bank and counted it as income. Do you think this might raise some red flags with an ECO - possible rejection?

Providing all the specified evidence is in order there should be no issue, if they ask just clarify as you just have.
