For my last leg of 10 year settlement route as a parent, I'm switching to spouse category.
My new husband and I are both sole-traders and will be combining our income to meet income threshold.
Previously, I had to demonstrate adequate maintenance without a set minimum income and my accountant only had to write a letter stating his credentials eg FACCA (Fellowship ACCA) and basically summarise my relevant tax year income, expenses and net profit before tax.
Now I'm reading online guidance for spouse visa and it says I have to submit unaudited accounts for that tax year and get certificate from accountant. But also that I need submit original SA320 sent from HMRC. My issue is that my leave expires on 12/05 and tax year they will be looking at ends on 5/04, so there will be very little time to get the documents ready, besides, HMRC take about 2-3 weeks to send original SA320 form.
If I was to submit the previous tax year documents, I had SEISS grant in total of just over 10k as I am a self-employed dancer and my work was practically non-existent in that year. Would this grant go against me?
So sorry for all the questions.
What would be the best course of action in my case please?
Thank you very much in advance!
