Category F: Last full financial year
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 either the director or employee (or both) 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.

Category G: Average of last two full financial years
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 or employee (or both) of a specified limited company in the UK, at the date of application, they can choose instead to rely on Category G. This allows them to use an average of the income received in the last two full financial years to meet the financial requirement.




Hi thanks for the reply. But looking at the online application form which I believe is where you got your info from (I have attached to this quote), it only states self employed. Can’t see ... or director of a limited company..

Can you help me explain further how you got this? I’m kinda confuse..

Thanks

Do you submit your self assessment figures or PAYE ?

I’m assuming our account submits the self assessments for me. I’m definitely not PAYE.

This is my first role as a contractor

Hi Lexus, this is Kakushia2’s husband. You mentioned tax and employment situations briefly before, wondering if you can offer a little more advice on that.

I’m listed as codirector of a PLC, we have an accountant that handles the tax element. I just found out that I am outside of IR35 on the contract I am working on for the client.

What implications might this have in terms of the financial requirements? I still obviously comfortably exceed the £18,600. And what extra documents might I have to include in the supporting documents if any?

Thanks

That property inspection report your are referring to, is strictly to fulfil legislation for property sales and renting.....

The inspection report you want, is to ascertain that the property would not be overcrowded once you and baby join the crew........

Thanks Lexus!!!

Thanks Lexus, the guru!

We gonna get an inspection report from the contract of sale of the house. As I understand, this comes along with the contract of sale etc

That is sufficient right? Or this inspection is carried out by an independent group/agency?

Thanks

Hi dear. The guru is already answering your questions, so hope you don’t mind me asking you questions.

I would like to know more about the FDM group. I literally have their page open on my laptop, as my last resort to finding experienced jobs (employers seem to want 4 year’s experience and I have just about two years so it seems applying for a graduate position might be my escape).

Anyway, can I get more info about FDM? They say their training spans between 8-14weeks, was this true for your husband? I’m sceptical about it applying because the closest training centre to me is Birmingham which is almost two hours away (can’t be traveling to Bmgham every day), and I don’t want to live away from hubby for two months cry.. I just need to speak to someone that has had the experience before I commit... it’s beyond me why they aren’t in Manchester or Liverpool!

So if you know what he went through, please enlighten me. Thank you o

Apologies for detailing the tread but this knowledge will be useful for prospective employees who want professional work.



Hey, this is Kakushia2’s husband.

WARNING, swerve FDM group. I joined them straight from the army for fear I couldn’t find any other employment. They basically give you usually 9 weeks of training, which they self assess to be worth up to £20k and then make you sign a training agreement promising to pay it if you leave within 2 years. Not to mention the training is dog shit and you get just one professionally recognised qualification worth about £140.

Then they get you a contract on client site, they will make you sign a contract agreeing to be “geoflexible” so will send you anywhere in the country they please. Then the client will usually pay £260 day rate for you, however FDM only give you about 40% of that money.

They are exploitative and bullying.

I’m free of them now thank god.

Hey!!!
I applied last year May when I was 3 months pregnant. It's important you tell them you are pregnant � because it solidifies your relationship as a genuine relationship. Include evidence of telling your husband you are pregnant. Scans,pregnancy test report and scan results. Goodluck

Thank you.... very helpful!

Hello,

Yeah about that, what I learnt is that its a shitty company. He ended up not getting the full weeks training and when he was about leaving, they kept threatening to charge him to court cos their agreement stipulates he stays for at least 2 years.

Meanwhile, they were paying him shitty amount while the company makes a lot of profit from you.
Not advisable to join them tbh!

Cheers

Hi Lexus, sorry another question.

Can I just establish, are you saying we need a home inspection for cohabiting at my husbands parents home specifically because we’re having a baby?

Many Thanks!

If you have an Msc from a UK University, NARIC is NOT required......

Thank you Lexus! That now out of the way! Phew!

If he is on IR35, he is self assessing his taxation..... You do not need to change your name on your passport..... NARIC is not required, but ensure your London University certificates are glowing and you type your UK qualifications properly on the application form......

I think the TB certificate is valid for 6 months or so. Ensure you declare your pregnancy during the TB test......

The house inspection report must be submitted to Sheffield, with other application documentations.........

Thanks Lexus... your response are so quick and concise! Thank you.
Kinda new to this forum so still learning how to work my way around it but I believe I have attached a document on English test requirements. If you see the last bit, it says ‘you will need a certificate from UK NARIC confirming this when you apply’ you still think I shouldn’t bother applying for this?

Cheers

If he is self assessing his taxation, it's a completely different kettle of fish. The requirements for PAYE & SELF ASSESSMENT, is as different as a pigeon vs eagle....

Regarding his parents accommodation, you would require a home inspection report (and also tell the inspectors a new child too would be residing with you).......

Regarding your last point, you must declare your pregnancy on the application. A previous applicant on this thread, was denied entry at London Heathrow because she did not declare her pregnancy.......

Thanks for your kind and wise advice Lexus..

I will get back to you on the first point. Pretty sure he’s not self assessing his tax.

Would I include this inspection report in my application?
Then some things I will kindly seek your advice o,
1. When is ideal to do my TB test? I intend to do s priority settlement-wife visa.
2. Do I have to update my passport to reflect his surname? Already applied tho, just need your advice.
3. I did my masters in a reputable London university, do I need this NARIC certificate?? The requirements on that is a bit tricky.. thought if one had a Nigerian certificate, then the NARIC certificate comes to play but it says one must prove either with such certificate.

Thank you.

Some things that bring out the curiosity part of me...... If he is earning £275.00 per day, why is he renting just one room?

Does your husband do his self assessment or is he on PAYE? Your husband must be in continuous employment for 6 months, prior to applying (but your answer might have a different segway)......

His parents accommodation you intend to use for the spousal visa application, how massive is this accommodation? How many occupants are presently residing in this accommodation?

You would have to declare your pregnancy on your application. Let's assume you refuse to declare your pregnancy, and your visa is granted after you give birth, are you intending to leave baby behind?



Hi Lexus,

As to your first point/ curiosity lol. He literally just got this job that pays 275. He has not even collected his first salary yet..Hence, why he stays in just one room currently.

As to the 2nd point, the pay is within IR35, it’s like a law on tax. that means government contractors don’t do their tax self assessments. All my tax is paid before I get it. And on the visa requirement websites it says if you’ve not been in 6 months constant employment prior to applying they resort to your last 12 months of payslips if I’m correct. So he’s using his previous job payslips.

He was a soldier from July 2011 - October 2017, in August 2017 was employed by FDM group as his army service was finishing. and This April, he became a joint director of a PLC.

As to your third point, his parents house is a 4 bedroom flat, 3 peope are staying in it and obviously 2 are sharing one room. Therefore 2 rooms are available for us. And of course, a tenancy agreement will be drawn as he will be paying rent in his parent’s house.

I agree with you on your last point but I’m hoping I am granted visa before I give birth. Lol.

Thank you Lexus

Hi All,

I'm about to apply for a spouse visa in the UK in the coming weeks. I have been with my husband since last October, we met while I was studying my masters in London. In February my visa expired and I returned to Nigeria. Shortly after getting back we decided to marry, which we did on March 31st and I am now pregnant.

So we're just preparing to apply for my spouse visa.

Financially, my husband has just started a new job. He is on a government contract earning £275 per day so earns more than enough for the requirements and he has payslips from the last 7 years if need be, every year having earned over the required £18,600.

In terms of accommodation, he is renting a room in a house share currently. However, we plan to cohabit in his parents house which easily has enough room to accommodate us. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I'm just looking for a bit of advice regarding our visa situation.

Also, would anyone recommend disclosing my state of pregnancy or choosing to keep quiet about this?

Thank You
