I've just had a quote to post my wife's supporting documents to Sheffield via the post office here in the UK as a signed for delivery for £22.90 (that's up to a weight of 5kg and will cost the same to send back to me).

Does anyone know up to what age is classified as a dependant? Whilst filling in the settlement visa application for my wife as well as the NHS surcharge questions, it asks about dependants. My wife's son is not dependant on either of us, works full time and will be 24 years old in November 2018, but we want to be sure on the actual age where he is classed as a non-dependant.

Gents, my accountant is currently compiling the information required within the APPENDIX 2 (VAF 4A DECEMBER 2013) FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT FORM. He has contacted the home office and is getting no response to the questions below. Can anyone advise?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am the HMRC agent for a client that is a sponsor.The Sponsor is a director of a Limited company and owns all the shares (close company). He receives a small salary and extracts the remaining profits from the company through dividends.We are completing Category F to meet the financial requirements.I have a few general questions that I hope you can help with:1. Question 3.49 was the sponsor self employed? He was not, but he is under this category as a director. There is no box to tick asking if he is a director. Should I treat self employed and Directors the same, and tick the yes box to 3.49?2. Question 3.54 asks if he is registered as self employed with HMRC? He is not, but again you classify self employed and Directors under the same section I am not sure to answer the question literary or under your general category?RegardsGuemlum -
Hi BB my wife provided her original birth certificate as well as a copy, but no translation. All 3 applications were successful. I cant comment on whether the translation of the B.C is actually necessary. You'd think that a passport and ID card which both have their D.O.B on would be suffice. We also provided original wedding cert and translation with copies of each. Good luck with the application mate.

I thought the VAF4A Appendix2 had to be submitted to Sheffield with supporting documents?

Now that settlement visa supporting documents are sent to Sheffield, does anyone know whether they are refusing nicely presented ring bound folders? I know that they stopped accepting them in the past when submitting to VFS in BKK.

Force of habit rasg having once been "self employed".
I recently recall my accountant saying that HMRC were reluctant to give out SA302's. Not sure why, so will have to pursue the matter further.

Evening all,
We are currently in the process of applying for a settlement visa and whilst a lot of previous posts on this topic have been helpful, I'm still confused as to some particulars.
I am self employed trading as a Ltd Company. I am not CIS registered as I pay my own tax and have an accountant who keeps things in order. I am also VAT registered.
When completing Appendix 2 financial requirement form, I have selected Part C (income from self employment) and can complete either Category F or G. I haven't decided yet.
I will obviously have to engage the support of my accountant but my question is, do I have to provide a full set of accounts for the previous financial year or will a simple letter (breakdown) from my accountant be suffice?
As I pay myself a monthly salary of £916, this only equates to £10,992, but I do pay myself a dividend every couple of months. I'm not using my savings as supporting evidence as I'm about to put a hefty deposit down on a house, so what exactly should I be showing as proof of income?

Hi,
Has anyone recently used the online booking system to book their wife onto the Life Skills A1 test? The options are...
IELTS for UKVI which is held at the Pullman Grande, Sukhumvit.
Or
IELTS UKVI at IDP Thailand, but then doesn't give you an address.
Which one is it? I want to make sure we are booking the correct test.
Regards

Thanks guys. I may enlist the help of my accountant and it looks like category F is the right way to go.

Gents, its time to start preparing for my wife's settlement visa as well as the associated headaches that accompany the process. We probably won't submit the application until Jan 2018, but I want to start things rolling with document preparation.
My first headache, is the Appendix 2, Financial Requirement Form.
Now lets say I have an income of 90k per year. My main method of meeting the financial requirement will be "Income from self employment" which asks for Part 3C to be completed. But do I then complete category F or G for this section? If I complete Category F(i) and input a figure of 90k, Category F (ii) then asks if it meets or exceeds the financial year requirement, which obviously it does. If it does, it then asks you to complete Part 3D 3.61-3.63. Why?
I want to base this application in terms of meeting the financial requirements with just my income before tax.
Any help guys would be much appreciated.

My wife was recently granted a visit visa for the U.K. and throughout the application we stated my address as the place she would be staying at. My living arrangements and address may change in December, but not yet confirmed. Should they change, am I to contact the British embassy in London to inform them?

Thanks theoldgit...Wales and Scotland it is then :)

Thanks guys. The plan, should we go down that route would be to apply at the relevant embassy in the U.K. What difficulties do you envisage "theoldgit"?

My wife was recently granted a visitor visa for the U.K. This will be her 3rd visit. Whilst here in the U.K., is it possible for her to apply for a schengen visa to visit let's say France for example, for 1 week or a long weekend, and then return to the UK to see out the duration of her visit visa?

The application form does not list a "standard visitor visa" and simply gives you the option of the following...
Reason for Vist - Visit
Visa type - Family
Visa Sub Type - Visit Family 6 months.

Thank you both, and thanks 7by7 for mentioning the visa "name change". I wasn't aware it had?.

I really should know this answer based on previous applications, but any guidance would be appreciated.
If my wife applies for a UK family visit visa 3 months in advance of her intended travel date of the 14/12/16, does the visa start from the date of her arrival in the UK or from the time the visa is issued, which in this case if she applied on the 14/09/16 it could be granted around the end of September?

Thanks for that!!

Hi, has anyone here tried sending their dog to the UK from Thailand? If so, any advice on the step by step process would be very much appreciated.

I'm a Ltd company and pay myself a basic salary of £10,600 per year. I take in excess of 42k in dividends per year. Do they take into consideration the dividend payouts as a form of income?

Don't carp on about it, he was having a whale of a time until somebody told him eel go to jail if gets caught, the flathead didn't listen but I doubt he did it on porpoise.
I have more of these, would you like to hear them?
Please......No

I forgot to add that he is not part of this application and will not be travelling to the UK, but the question is still asked re any dependants.
