Thanks Sushdmehta.sushdmehta wrote:1. See Appendix FM-SE about documentary evidences required.
2. Given that her whole family of British citizens will be based in UK, unless she can provide compelling evidence of returnability to her country of citizenship / residence, a visitor visa application will be refused.
3. See MAA11 Adequacy of accommodation and MAA12 Overcrowding.
4. I think she can (just the test, not language training classes). Alternatively, she may take the test where you are living currently. Where are you based?
5. AIUI, this won't affect your wife's settlement visa because you are claiming something that you are entitled to.
6. On the top of the list - Read appendix FM-SE carefully! And that the rules may change by the time your wife is ready to apply for settlement visa (2017). Not saying that they will ... but with UKV&I anything is possible!!
Thanks Sushdmehta, but my question is more of a general question and not just related to my wife. I was told by CAB that someone can apply for a settlement visa from there country of residence by proving they earn more than 18,600 pounds where they reside and not in the UK. And, because of my subject title then no one may see this question.

Yes, that makes sense but it is not what the CAB advisor told me, and he even checked this with another CAB advisor.Wanderer wrote:returntotheuk wrote:Thanks Sushdmehta, but my question is more of a general question and not just related to my wife.

....and have a job offer in UK that fulfils the criteria as well....
Ok, thanks guys. I thought it did not sound right.Casa wrote:The CAB aren't entirely correct. You would qualify if you can show that you (as the sponsor) have been earning the equivalent of £18,600 in Cambodia for the 6 month period before submitting your wife's application and you have a confirmed job offer of £18,600 pa to start within 3 months of arrival in the UK.

You have a guaranteed offer of a job in UK with an annual salary of at least £18,600 (or more if required) which will start within 3 months of your return to the UK

9.3.6 on my link above lists what you can combine to meet the requirement under self employed.returntotheuk wrote: 1. My plan is to do my own business from home as a sole trader, however to begin with I will do this part time to build the business up. If working part time as a sole trader, can I work part time as a none salaried employee and combine salaries to meet financial requirements? I am not clear about this in the table shown in the guide.
It's your last tax year (April to April) or last two tax years.returntotheuk wrote:2. When it says financial year, does it mean the tax financial year April to March? Or my own financial year from when my business started paying taxes?
Doesn't matter as it is based over the last 1 (or 2) tax years (April to April). The 'set amount per month' is for some ot the other cataogies to sponsor.returntotheuk wrote:3. If my new business (on its own) was making 18600 or more in a financial year but making less than the average 1550 pounds per month at the first half of the financial year but maybe double that in second part of the year would this still be ok as long as it is 18600 or more for the whole financial year?
You have to wait 3 months, regardless of whether you are working or not. You have been out the UK too long to be able to claim when you return.returntotheuk wrote:4. In regards to tax credits and child benefit. If I was working as self employed or as a none salaried employee when I arrive, would I be able to apply for tax credits and child benefit? I read somewhere, if I am working as soon as I arrive then I can start to claim for them but if I am not working then I need to wait at least 3 mths.
I'm not sure what you are asking?returntotheuk wrote:Another question I have just thought of:
Is registering with the HMRC as self employed all you need as self employed or do you need to register a business for settlement visa purposes?
