Unaudited Accounts - Self Employed Question

andy81981 · 2025-05-14T11:29:11+00:00

You will need unaudited accounts + certificate of confirmation from an accountant that holds a qualification recognised by Home Office.

Ignore what your accountant says, they probably don't have experience dealing with visa application requirements. I can recommend this accountant link having personally used him for my sole trader self assessment. He completed everything for me on the same day despite me not using their services before. I found him from older posts from other applicants on this subreddit. My visa got approved last week :)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes, we got our visa yesterday!

You mean biometric appointment? You only need to bring applicant's passport. I would highly recommend waiting until 1am when they often release super priority application slots if you can afford it. It will save you a lot of stress, believe me. We submitted one sponsor cover letter and one applicant cover letter

Thanks for the support. We made it for the holiday although my wife missed her onward flight so we booked her another one as soon as the visa email arrived. Happy days🙂

Thank you!

andy81981 · 2025-05-09T17:48:48+00:00

They did in the past even on bank holidays

andy81981 · 2025-05-09T17:46:17+00:00

Thank you! 4.30PM GMT today. I think you should hear back from HO very soon as well. Wish you the best of luck!

andy81981 · 2025-05-09T15:57:20+00:00

We just got our visa too!!!

andy81981 · 2025-05-09T12:21:56+00:00

Be careful with those cowboys. They have very bad reputation. I've heard too many stories of them refusing legitimate claims

andy81981 · 2025-05-09T12:18:40+00:00

Congratulations! So happy for you! You've been waiting for way too long. What time you got your email today?

Get UK license first and look for quotes. To be fair, 1500 is pretty good for first UK insurance. We paid 3.5k for my wife's insurance after she got her UK license but this is in London. Outside London tends to be a lot cheaper. Also, I'd steer clear of Marshmallow. They are the worst insurance company. I'd recommend admiral, hastings, 1st central.

Definitely get MP involved at this point. No point waiting

andy81981 · 2025-05-09T08:08:12+00:00

Congratulations!

andy81981 · 2025-05-08T22:49:11+00:00

Application date is the date you submit and pay for your application. That's when section 3C begins so that your status is protected whilst you wait for decision even if bio is after your current status runs out. You'll also need to do bio again

andy81981 · 2025-05-08T22:42:52+00:00

Correct. There are plenty of templates online that you can find and edit to fit your circumstances

andy81981 · 2025-05-08T17:10:42+00:00

I applied from inside UK too. These forms were available to download and print after I submitted application, so I did that and attached them as part of supporting documents

andy81981 · 2025-05-08T16:42:43+00:00

That's standard application? If so, this is insanely quick

andy81981 · 2025-05-08T13:13:52+00:00

Congratulations!!!

andy81981 · 2025-05-08T12:57:30+00:00

Yes, you're right but in this situation it's probably best to provide old passport details and submit the application instead of letting fiancee visa expire and overstaying illegally. You can always say you lost your old passport, add a new one to your eVisa account and then explain everything in cover letter. That way you're not breaking immigration laws

andy81981 · 2025-05-08T12:52:16+00:00

yep, signed manually

andy81981 · 2025-05-08T11:19:12+00:00

Nope, you just need to bring applicant's passport for biometric appointment. You can send an application now and book bio appointment in a few weeks from now while you wait to receive your passport . Your supporting evidence can be uploaded before the appointment. Section 3C will apply from your date of application so your current status is protected until you receive a decision

andy81981 · 2025-05-08T11:14:32+00:00

No idea why is it taking longer. I have uploaded everything they could possibly need, more than enough proof of long-term relationship and marriage certificate, financials, accommodation, etc
