i have 3 kids who are British citizen and receiving child tax credit and some housing benefit topup, wondering if that will effect on her visa ?
Thanks
I am apply for spouse visa extension FLR M, i have earned 16k as employed and and other income from self employed to make up the threshold of £18600.CR001 wrote:Child tax credits MUST be claimed in JOINT names with your spouse.
HB should be single person + kids rate only.
What application are you submitting for your spouse if you do not meet the financial requirement.

I am allowed to get it wrong sometimes, as long as you don't put me in the 'naughty corner'Casa wrote:No prob.CR001 wrote:Ahh, ok thanks casa
Yes i have made Apps and designed a website for someone and got paid around £6k in total.Casa wrote:Char, I believe for self employment it's the amount after business expenses have been deducted, i.e the nett amount on which HMRC will calculate tax due, but before tax has been deducted.
I wasn't self employed last year so what can be done in regards ? can't show anything from previous year and only become self employed with HMRC in June 2016 which is the current tax year !Casa wrote:My understanding is that in order to include self-employed earnings you need to submit a self-assessment tax return for the last full tax year.
(If I'm mistaken it'll be my turn for the naughty step)![]()
Have you registered with HMRC?
In this scenario my understanding are before i apply for the visa i should submit self assessment for this year ? but don't know whether they will take this in to account because tax is due by 2017Casa wrote:9.1.1. Where the applicant’s partner (and/or the applicant if they are in the UK with permission
to work) is in self-employment, or is the director of a specified limited company in the
UK, at the date of application, they can use income from the last full financial year to
meet the financial requirement.
and
9.3.3. The evidence submitted must cover the relevant financial year(s) most recently ended. A
self-assessment tax return may include provisional figures, where the return explains
why this is so and how the figures were arrived at, and in which case a covering letter
explaining this and how any provisional figures tie in with other material submitted, e.g.
audited or unaudited accounts, may be helpful. This means that a sponsor wishing to
rely on earnings from self-employment as a sole trader, as a partner or in a franchise will
need to arrange to file their self assessment tax return to HMRC on a timescale geared
to meeting this requirement of the Immigration Rules rather than the deadline set for UK
tax purposes.
Can you advice what option are left for me as self employment earned from June 2016 >ILR1980 wrote:You must be self employed for at least one year as they are mostly refusing application for people who are showing all evidences /self assessment but were not self employment for at least one year
Also your earning from employment will count if earned within same financial year as self employment
My friend i can be as generous as you want but it does not depend on my generosity but whether ECO dealing with your application will be flexible or not .cheekyvirgin wrote:

Please advice generously.
Thanks
Prior to application my earnings will be £8000 in last 6 months and it's form non salaried employment.My friend i can be as generous as you want but it does not depend on my generosity but whether ECO dealing with your application will be flexible or not .
You are in salaried or non salaried employment? care to share your last 6 months earning in employment? Have you got saving?
secondly if you want to take risk of combining self employment with job earning even when you are in self employment for less than year then you will be on mercy of ECO
