Prospecive self employment

[humble_pie14]

Hi Guys,


I would like to apply for my wife’s spouse visa.
We are married for over 2 years and have a child together.

Now I have a limited company and I also have a full time job as engineering manager. My job has been recent 2 months, but I meet the 18600 requirements it’s just the duration is less than 6 months.

On my limited company which is in business for last 4 year. it’s only been 5th month of my company year and am close to meeting the financial requirements, but it won’t help because I have to wait until the year is complete and apply with CT600.

Now only way I can apply straightaway by showing that I have credible prospective Contracts in line for my limited company, which are genuinely there.

Please it would be really helpful if someone sheds some light on this.

Self employment is one of the hardest way of meeting financial requirement because a large range of evidences are required. But regarding your employment which is less than 6 months then be informed that if you have earned £18600 during the last 12 months then can apply under category B.

Thank you for reply, Yes I have earned more 18600 in last 12 months, Ironically 31 of March was end of Financial year my self assessment is more than £18600. But most of that income came via my limited company which I am sole Director off, hence Category B doesn't apply to me ?

If you have earned £18600 through self employment during the last 12 months then yes category B won't be appropriate for you. You should go ahead with self employment otherwise after 4 months you can apply under category A if you can wait such long.

I totally agree with you, waiting another 4 months is a lot simpler. But I would like to apply straightaway, reason is my 1 year old daughter(she has been granted Nationality) is not well so want to apply asap.


Going back to self employment yes category B doesn't apply to me. But Currently its clearly evident that although its 5th Month of my company financial year, my total turnover so far is already close to £17000 in 5 months. And I have this company for last 4 years. So giving them documentation evidence from existing clients that my contracts would continue.

All this is in addition to my full-time job which i started 2 months ago, with earning above £18600 a year.

Preferably don't mix employment route with self employment. And also don't forget that if you have and your partner have savings around £62500 from at least 6 months then you can meet requirement too.

Hmm, no we don't have that much savings. But come July when I will have 6 payslips from my job meeting the £18600 requirement. Would it be a concern apart from this job I will also have income coming into my account from a limited company which I own. Technically it shouldn't since I have entitled to work for somebody at the same time own a small business myself ?

If you will be meeting financial requirement through employment then any other incoming/outgoing other than the wages won't matter.
