Hi there, ive recently applied for my wifes visa. I am student and i only work part time from which i earn 90.00 pounds a week which totals to 360£ a month. I also own a property which is freehold and i receive rental income of 385£ pounds from that a month. So my total monthly income is 760 pounds a month. When my wifes comes over we will be staying with my parents. My parents dont want us to contribute any money towards the bills or food etc. I also have savings of 3000 pounds. From my income i feel it will be very unlikely that my wife will get a visa. When my wife comes over she intnds to become a self employe tailor specialising in asian garments. I mentioned this in the paper work.
If the visa is refused do you think it would be a good idea to include a business plan??? And include some Market research which i can conduct on her behlaf i.e sending qustionaires to asian families about the average price they pay for suites, how easy is it to find a tailor etc. All the response i get i could put this forward to the eco along with my business plan.
As i am an accounting student i can produce a business plan my self including cash flows etc. I also intend to buy a sewing machine and include all the receipts in the paperwork. I also intend to include business cards of my wifes propsed tailors business forward to my new application.
Do you think its good a idea?
any sugesstions ???
thanks
Ok my friend, I hate to be a bearer of bad news, but you havent got a cat in hells chance . I will tell you why
On the basis of the information that you have given above, you appear to be a young student working part time, earning £90.00 per week.
However you have managed to buy your own house which you say you are renting and recieving an income.
How have you managed to buy a house on your name on the money that you are earning?.
I think it was your dads house which he has transfered onto your name, either to avoid paying tax on teh income he could have recieved on it, or he has given it to simply because you want to apply for your wifes visa. Isn't it?
You say you have your own house, but when your wife comes you are still going to be living with your parents and they are not going to ask you for any money etc?
You say you have savings of nearly £3000 from doing a £90 job? I think most people would find that hard to believe.
You have said that your wife is unlikely to get a visa on your income alone, therefore you are dependant on her to work and get enough money for both of you to live on here in teh UK?.
My friend you have said you will do this and that for your wife to get her the visa, but you are forgetting that your wife's success or failure in getting a visa depends
ON YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES AND YOUR ABILITY TO SUPPORT, ACCOMADATE HER WITHOUT RECOURSE TO PUBLIC FUNDS.
I am afraid you will not convince the ECO to give your wife a visa on the basis of what you have said above. I think your personal circumstances will raise so many doubts in the ECO mind, he could probaly refuse you on half a dozen matters.
I am sorry you may not want to read or hear this, but you have to take my word on it. I have seen it so many times before.
By applying you are just going to waste in excess of £1000 of your precious money down the drain.
My advise is to wait. Wait till you have finished your course ( if you are doing that), look for a job in your proffesion. ( my son is only 21, also an accountant earning in the region of £22000 per year) and then apply. You will have no problem.
I am sorry about this. Its just that I like to be honest and truthful with people even though it may hurt their feeling.
You can go to a solicitor and he will promise you the heaven and earth, but they will be doing it only for the money.
I hope if ever I am proved wrong its on this occasion, and hope you succeeed if you are going with your plans and ideas.
Good luck
