New successful case and testimonial on a visa extension for a spouse of a UK citizen. Another self-employment case and another testimonial (that’s 2 in one day!)

“My wife and I applied for the second part of our FLRM spouse visa. As a self employed sole trader, the requirements are different from that of a salaried individual. I was introduced to Neil White at 1st 4Immigration by a friend who had undertaken using Neil & his team with his application. In less than 18hours, Neil and his team had come to be with not only guidance but also a plan to right my situation and just as importantly to my wife and I, treat us human beings and understand the predicament we were in and to reassure us. Fast forward 3 weeks and our application was approved. I simply can’t “not recommend” Neil, Danny and the whole team at 1st 4Immigration. They took all the stress away and dealt with everything. I will be using them again in the future and recommending them to family and friends.” 

This came from Noel, a British citizen whose wife is from Uzbekistan and had an initial Spouse visa issued in Uzbekistan. Now it was time to extend Ekaterina’s visa for further 2.5 years. Again we used same-day service in Croydon and it all went well on the day!  The next step will be applying for permanent residency after 5 years on Partner visas in the UK.

 
In this case the Financial Requirement (£18,600) was different from the case we uploaded earlier today (link http://1st4immigration-visas.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/new-successful-case-and-testimonial-on_26.html ) The previous case was based on income from the applicant’s limited company in the UK while in Noel’s case it was based on his (Sponsor’s) income from being a sole trader in the UK. While a company director’s income is based on the last financial year of the company (which can be any 12 months), a sole trader’s – on the last UK tax year (which always ends on 5 April). Furthermore, for our purpose income form either the applicant or the sponsor can be used, ie doesn’t have to be Sponsor’s, as it is usually (but not always) the case with the visa application to enter the UK.
