as stated in FM-SE 13(e) income from salaried employment needs to b evidenced covering the last 6 months of that same financila year as the CT600, so ur application is refused

Sorry to hear this

I can't advice u as this is not my field but what I can say for spouse visa there is only appeal or re apply no review, review is part of the appeal process it goes through review and if not successful then to court

I'd say if it is something that can be corrected easily then go for appeal

I think it's because ur last 6month wage slips are over this year and last full financial year... But I'm not sure

Salaam

Firstly, sorry to hear of your refusal.

I applied using the same route as yourself, so might be able to help.

I'm a little confused from the information you have provided, but my feeling is that your dividend voucher must fall into the same financial year as your CT600 and be shown in your accounts. Your company's financial year runs from February to January. The last period would therefore be Feb 2014 to Jan 2015. Your dividend certificate and your payslips (12 months) should also have been from this period.

You didn't say you included the CT600 from Feb 2014 to Jan 2015. Was this sent?

Unless I am mistaken, you come into the 'director of a specified limited company' category. If so, did you supply all the information this section specifies? I.e. personal and company bank statements for the 12 months covering your CT600.

I'll wait until you come back with further details. I would suggest holding off the appeal or review for now.

Thank you for your cooperation

If you sent me a private message, I am unable to access it: We are sorry, but you are not authorised to use this feature. You may have just registered here and may need to participate more to be able to use this feature.

I know that you must be upset, so please don't mind me asking you to break your message into paragraphs that are easy to read. There are a lot of facts and I'm getting very lost.

Question: Did you apply as a "Director of a specified limited company"?

If the answer is yes then why didn't you submit your application with Feb 2014 - Jan 2015 accounts?

If you are applying through the "Director of a specified limited company" route, they want to know that your company is making enough money to pay your salary and has enough left over so that a dividend payment can be made out of the profits. The dividend received is not in line with the submitted accounts, so they have no way of establishing whether one is permitted or not.

dividend voucher was covering from may 2014 to april 2015
This spans two of your company’s financial years and doesn’t make sense to me. In the case of your company, the ECO is interested in the company’s financial year and not your personal tax year.

I am now giving up trying to understand what your message says as it is so hard to read.

Here is what applies in the case of a “Director of a specified limited company” and the financial year you are applying for is Feb 2014 - Jan 2015:

Get your accountant to prepare accounts for the last full financial year, assuming this is Feb 2014 - Jan 2015.

Was a combination of your salary and dividends higher than £18,600 during this period? If not then there is no point in you applying until the end of the next financial year, on the basis that the combined figure of salary and dividends exceeds the 18,600 requirement.

If it is higher than 18,600 then get the accounts submitted, get the dividend vouchers, pay the corp tax, get the ct600 and ct620. Note: your dividend payment should then have been made within this period.

Get a hold of: Immigration Rules - Appendix FM-SE (Updated 3rd August 2015) and go to the section that starts:
9. In respect of income from employment and/or shares in a limited company based in the UK of a type specified in paragraph 9(a), the requirements of paragraph 9(b)-(e) shall apply in place of the requirements of paragraphs 2 and 10(b).
and read all of this.

If you just found out the decision then take some time to reflect and come back to this process in a few days.

If you apply again in Sept using Feb 2014 - Jan 2015 financial year then you will need:
Payslips for each month, starting from Feb 2014 and ending in Jan 2015. Recent ones are of no value in this case.

Let's say that your gross salary (before tax) was £14,000 within this period. That means you need to make up a shortfall of £4,600 through dividends. The dividends must have been paid within this period too. If a dividend was not paid in the same period to cover the 4,600 shortfall, your application will be rejected. As with your salary, the dividend payment must be seen leaving your company's bank account and entering your personal account.

Applying through the limited company route means that you cannot makeup a shortfall through savings or other routes.

The ECO wants to see that your limited company has the resources to pay you a salary and dividend.

Your questions are not bothering me. I’m glad to be able to provide my opinion. I wouldn’t however say it is guidance, as I am in no way an expert.

I’m sad to say that your situation is causing me concern. You are also not supplying sufficient detail to enable me to help you effectively. I cannot ascertain where you were employed through your company and when you were employed directly.

Firstly, you have to be very clear with regards to how you were employed. You mention two jobs: one with Dominos and the other doing some form of security. Did they pay you or did you invoice them through your limited company? If your limited company did the invoicing, which then deducted the tax and NI before paying you a monthly wage then you can use this in your Feb 2014 to Jan 2014 financial year. If they paid you as an employee then other rules apply that I am not familiar with.

Making an application using your own a limited company is not easy. It was a nightmare for me to get the necessary documentation together. Have you gone through the appendix I referred to in my previous post to confirm you can provide all the required documentation? Please answer.

I’m guessing that you cannot use your Feb 2014 to Jan 2014 financial year, as you were not paid through your company as a director and the dividend you received does not on its own help you meet the minimum requirement.

Regarding the Feb 2015 to Jan 2016 financial year, I don’t think you can bring this forward to close this off early.

Sticking with the Feb 2015 to Jan 2016, am I right in saying that your company is paid for the security work you are doing? If so then are you extracting a monthly salary? Is your company deducting your NI and PAYE? Can the £7000 dividend you paid be brought exclusively into this financial year?

If the answer to all the questions in the above paragraph are yes then I suggest that you wait until your accounts are ready for the Feb 2015 to Jan 2016 financial year and then apply.

I’m so very sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for. I would therefore suggest you seek another opinion. Maybe I have missed something that could enable you to apply now. Perhaps someone else on this forum could help.

Hi guys

It's currently been 7 weeks since biometrics and I asked for a update today and it said there are no current updates or the information you have provided is incorrect. Should this still be happening on week 7? I thought it would at least be in progress by now.
