Hi Can we take merely the option D although we are (self-)employed and only claim cash savings (£62500) in my and my wife's bank accounts? In that case, sending the following would be enough for financial requirements, isn't it? (a) personal bank statements showing the cash savings have been held in...
Hi My wife's application was refused on the basis of submission of unaudited accounts instead of audited accounts. My accountant called HO and they confirmed unaudited would be OK as long as it's signed by a certified accountant. I submitted the application accordingly. And it was refused. Recently,...
As I said, I normally prefer to be on the safer side. But I thought what the Home Office advised was relieving enough. We stated in our cover letter that we asked UKBA about the documents we were sending. And it seems the updated regulations for evidence now states "Unaudited accounts" are...
Hi I would really appreciate if you could help on this matter. We have applied for my wife's visa 2.5 months ago and today we received the refusal letter based on the fact that I haven't provided audited company accounts. Normally, I prefer being on the safe side. When I was preparing the documents,...

I was asking the same question and called IPS advice. The guy on the phone was laughing when he first took the call, not a very serious office I guess; fair enough. After I asked my question, he told I do not need to fill in grandparents' details as I am applying after naturalisation as British citi...

Hi harv I understand that but in the document it says the earnings for that category will also be concluded from the director's salary as below: Page 13: Where the self-employed person has set up their own registered company and is listed as a director of that company, the income that will be assess...
Hi sushdmehta Thanks for your input. It's really relieving. If I am applying under ""Self-employment (via limited company)" category, should I still provide pay slips or do bank statements suffice? Payslips are not included in the list of documents specified for this category, but I w...
Hi all I am really struggling here to understand the financial req. documents we need to supply for the Family Join visa. I am an IT contractor working through my own limited company . Is there anyone similar who applied and got the visa with the new rules? First, I thought I should go with the docu...
Hi I am an IT consultant and working through my own company and am the director of the company. For previous applications, i.e. Tier-1, ILR, I have proved my income as salary and dividends from my company. For my prospective wife's visa application, however, I could not find anything related to divi...
Hi I am also in the agony of finding a referee robustly complying with the conditions mentioned implicitly/explicitly in the application form. I have a friend who is a lawyer and is a member of a bar association in Turkey. He is working in the UK but he is providing assistance to clients in terms of...
Hi I am in the same situation. As sab124 has already mentioned, (I believe) we should not worry about this. The explanation on the form is confusing; however the immigration law mentions it more clearly. Although we have got our last Tier 1 extension between 31st March 2009 and 06th April 2010, the ...
Hi all I am trying to apply online for SET (O). At the second step (2. Complete) , it asks me to download a paper form and fill it in by hand. After that step it does not let me to continue with the rest of the procedure and the pdf file is not editable. I was expecting I would be completing an inte...
I think 1400's main question is whether to include other sets of two photos for each dependant for which I do not know the answer. So, in his case he would include: - 2 photos of himself (assuming a he) for his form - 2 photos of himself + 2 photos of the 1st dependant for the 1st dependant's form -...
Well, this is a dangerous question. Here is what I think would happen. One could forge any document at the end of the day. If the case worker suspects that the certificate is a fake one, they can call the institution to verify the degree award. I guess depending on how suspicious they are, if this c...
