thanks llcoolj-786 for your reply.

No dividends claimed. Have been purely working without taking any funds from the business. Any money it was making was reinvested back into the business. It has only been the last seven months in which i have been paying myself a wage.

Thanks for your reply Mojohnson. I have the companies full bank statements for the year and the CT600 is not an issue. My personal bank statement, i can get the full year statement but it will only show monthly wages being received for just seven months not twelve as I didn't take any money from the...

Hello All, Hoping someone can shed some light on my query...I will be soon applying for a UK spouse visa for my wife (Iranian) and am beginning to put all the documents together.

You need 6 months of evidence to show that you meet £18,600pa or £9,300 for the six months. There is no discretion with this. If you do not meet the requirement and submit the evidence of the income, the visa will be refused. Thanks for your feedback. So for the last six months will i need to show ...

The point i am trying to get across is that i can show my income in the last 6 months but it wont be enough to meet the £18,600 but from now (today) it will show this as i will be taking a wage from the business.

Not going to work. You need to show the bank statements showing your income credit for 6 months. Consider a scenario in which someone just got a new job with a salary exceeding the threshold but the previous six months they were unemployed. Will that mean that this person will have to wait at least...

I think i have not explained myself properly...I wont be sending any fake documents everything will be legit. My accountant simply said he can backdate my wages, which is all above board. I'll be paying tax and NI for the last six months. My concern was that the wages will not show in my bank statem...

Thanks.

I would advise her to give her tax reference. Even though she hasn't had any income from her self-employment, has she submitted a self-assessment tax return showing nil earnings? She has never submitted a self-assessment tax return and I have been in touch with HMRC, explained the situation to them...

Thanks solospy, but doesn't the HO know/investigate if she has registered as self employed?

Don't want to risk anything or withhold any information...came so far and don't want to fall at last hurdle.

Thanks Greenie for your feedback but i dont think you are getting my point. 1. Worldbrdige staff told me they would be in touch within 21 days 2. We have it documented stating that we have been notified of the 21 day process (signed by a Worldbridge staff) 3. The British Consulate in Istanbul said t...

Im not looking for a decision. Just worried as to why they would say they would be in touch within 21 days and the fact that my wife has to resubmit her passport but only when instructed to do so by Worldbridge?

Hello, My wife an Iranian national applied for a spouse visa and travelled to Istanbul on the 27th February to hand in her application at the Worldbridge visa centre in Istanbul.
