Hi,

I am applying for my ILR Visa next week.

I am applying as director of limited company

my accountant has given me letter for my salary and dividends.


He has mentioned his AIA Number
Association of International Accountants

I can find his company name on the ACCA Directory only whom he is partner.
but not he himself?


will that be fine for the visa?

as per ho gudienace

Do we need a practising certificate or just a letter from accounting body saying that (s)/he is a member?

well its not mandatory to hv certificate with u...i asked; he gave..its bit strong proof that he is certified than producing a letter on letterhead..ne body can produce a letter...

but as i said its not mandatory requirement...so if u can hv it easily go for it, else its still ok
