Ok so I got a draft on my years accounts and it reads,

Gross income 25,232.00
Less expenditure 4,447
Net profit 20,785
Add back for private usage £41
Less for capital allowances £2000 (van)
Net adjusted profit £18,826

Does this look sufficient ?

No expert on tax returns for self employed - but if you are confident your figures are correct, you show above 18,600, so this is sufficient - though close.

Been looking for a place to live for the last couple of months now,a place that is adequate for my requirements and it's proving tricky,at the moment I'm still at home.

What are the requirements of the address they require? As technically I'm renting a room and rooms are rentable to a couple ?

Guide to supporting documents:

https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...settlement.pdf

Specifically about accommodation:

Accommodation details
You may wish to submit any of the following documents to provide us with evidence of your accommodation. We advise that you do not make any payments for accommodation, travel and so on until you have received your visa.
Details of the accommodation that you and your sponsor intend to live in and permission for you to stay there along with evidence of any other occupants
This could include:
 Land Registry documents
 mortgage statements
 rent book or tenancy agreement
 council tax statements
 property inspection report
 utilities bills
 accommodation details with a supporting letter from the occupant/ landlord
confirming that you are able to stay there


Basically the applicant needs to show that they have adequate accommodation for them to stay in upon entering the UK. It could be with friends, relatives, in rented accommodation.

You need to show that the accommodation will not be overcrowded and that you have space for yourself and fiance/wife exclusively i.e your own bedroom.

Ok so today I signed paperwork and payed a referencing fee for a flat,I will pay the security deposit and rent upfront on the 7th of June and move in on that day,can my fiancé send her visa off before then or not until I have signed everything,what's the usual waiting times once she's sent it off?

SanDiegogirl

If you have all the documents you require to show that you have the accommodation and that the landlord has given permission for your spouse to join you when she has the visa then you can apply whenever you like.

The UKVI website quotes around 12 weeks for the visa to be processed. Sooner if you pay for priority service.

I found this on the gov page,https://visa-processingtimes.homeoff...ment-visas/all

I can't work out how to post a photo so hope that link works.

The flat currently has tennants in there that are set to move out by June 1st so I imagine he can't put me down as a tenant until then?

SanDiegogirl

OK so go with what that page says.

Filling out the visa form online, I want to double check this is correct for a fiancé visa to the uk from USA for my fiancé http://s33.postimg.org/i5nl9czcf/image.jpg

Our intention is marriage obviously but at this time she's an unmarried partner

I assume it's marriage.

BritInParis

Settlement->Settlement->Marriage is correct if you wish your fiancée to come to the UK, marry within six months and then apply to remain in the UK.

Ben2795

The tennents are now not moving out until the 16th of June,if I can sign all the documents stating I will be moving in on that date would that be adequate or is t better to wait until I am actually in the property.

Also,how does the sending off of the visa work?from what we can work out you send the application part online,do you have to post the accompanying documents or take them to some kind of face to face meeting ?

BritInParis

If your wife is applying from the USA then she will need to give her biometrics at a DHS application support centre and then post the application to Sheffield.

More information here.

I don't understand,what about the online form she fills out,is she supposed to print that off and send that in the post too?

SanDiegogirl

Yes and don't forget Appendix 2 which she prints off, completes and sends with package

Ben2795

Oh ok because the visa has submit application on the website so it confused me.

So to clarify,she prints off the form she's filled out online and sends that via post to Sheffield,does she also press submit application at the bottom of that too?

When you say print of appendix two,do you mean all the stuff appendix two requires? Or the actual whole of appendix two ?
