I've tried to search for specific answers to this question but all cases are different
I'm recently married and in the USA my partner is British.
Going through the spouse visa application process we have hit a hurdle with regard to financial criteria and hoping someone has some advice here for us
My partner has been self employed for 8 years however changed the source of his income in April this year. Last tax year he only earnt 9k for the tax year 16-17 whilst working a different trade.
He was a trainer originally but now having paid off his flat he is now using the income from renting his flat and moved in with his parents ( he can prove he earnt £12.5k in the last 5 months with checkable bank statements.)
His parents have said that we can live with them rent free as they have more than enough room and their house is mortgage free also.
So my questions is;
As My partner is self employed with a different source of income is his previous tax return needed with the application or is current proof of self employment with the new trade, bank statements and deed for a paid off flat sufficient?
Thanks in advance
