Please, how do I classify a petty trader under employment status?
Self-employed or unemployed

As a petty trader who just goes to her shop to whirl away time not necessarily for income, how do I answer "How much do you earn in a year?"

justwise:
All the best, just take your time to complete the form carefullly.

Thank you boss���

Belovedolu:
A big thanks for your selfishness. God bless you immensely

Selflessness not selfishness, just seeing the mistake

justwise:
Then you don't need to show any money for accommodation.

A big thanks for your selfishness. God bless you immensely

Are you planning to put her up in a hotel?

No o. She will stay with me ni o

Thank you so much for the explicit explanation. Like how much should I have in my own account for accommodation and feeding if I will be responsible for accommodation and feeding? Remember I'm on maternity leave and not collecting salary and no payslip from this month

justwise:
The only money you people will be spending here is her ticket and maybe £200-300 for her shopping nothing more, so there is no need moving money into her account.

In addition to all the documents you listed you also have to add proof of accommodation e.g tenancy agreement or mortgage papers.

Let your siblings sponsoring write a joint letter stating that they will be sponsoring her to the UK and that they will be paying for her ticket while you takes care of her accommodation and feeding. That they will also give her £200 or so amount for her shopping.

Then they will submit their bank statements, payment slips and employment letter just to support their source of income.

justwise:
There's no need running her account, her kids can sponsor the trip and submit their financial documents with evidence of sources of their income..e.g employment letter or business documents.

Thank you so much. Can she use account statements of two of her children or funds should be moved into one account?

What other documents will I provide asides invitation letter, proof of address, account statement/payslips as I will be responsible for accommodation and feeding while she's here

Do I need to transfer money for flight ticket into her account and explain in the coverletter as my own contribution towards the trip?

I'm very sorry for all these questions if they are annoying, I'm just confused

justwise:
Your husband paying money into your account so as to raise the balance is going to backfire, never a good idea visa wise.

Your mother's business situation is very common so all you have to do is to explain it in the form but she shouldn't be contributing towards the trip, you should sponsor the trip 100%.

Thank you for your timely response.
Please, what do you suggest I do as I can't get any salary or payslip while on maternity leave.

What if my siblings and I run her account so that she could use her account statement?

OR

What if my elder sister gives her the amount needed for the trip and raises a gift deed?

I just need suggestions pleaseeeeeee

Good afternoon everyone.
I'm new here and I have several questions I'll need the experts here to put me through.
I've been in UK for about 7months. I had a baby recently and will want my mum to visit during the summer for about 4 months. I'm on tier 2 visa
1. I stopped working in February (on maternity leave) and so I only have payslips from September to March. I will be going back to work later in the year

2. My closing balance is currently low as I recently made dependants applications for my family which sucked me dry but my husband and friends are planning to make some cash deposits into my account between now and next month when the application will be made so as to have a balance of about £3000 ( I earn about £2300/month before I stopped working). Will this fly?

3. My mum is a petty trader (a typical street Naija trader with little income). She depends on her children and has steady inflow and outflow of money in her account, all from children just for her upkeep. She currently has a closing balance of a little above 200k

What is the best way to go about this plsssssssss?

Thank you in anticipation of your responses
