Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase!!!!!!!!!!! It`s urgent!

Post by Christina123 » Sat May 16, 2009 4:47 pm

I am just about to apply for my HSMP extension and need some advice on the following:

I know I should`t have had less than £800 in my account 3 months prior to applying but things can`t be changed now. It was only for a couple of days, though.

Does anyone know if the fact that there was ALWAYS more money in my and my husband`s current accounts (if you sum it up) than it is required for those applying as a couple will be considered by the HO?

My husband`s my dependant. We don`t have a joint account, so I`m speaking about 2 current ones!

Has anyone been through this or do you have any idea about what could be done now?

Many thanks and best of luck to all of you, guys!

Liliya.

Do you have joint account with your husband?

You can show different account for your husband's maintenance funds and different for you.

Thanks for your replies. Yes we have got joint account but he is empty. Also ours current accounts are with different surname ( as i am still with my maiden name). Would be really nice if his account can support my founds and my one his. Is it any way of doing it?

Is it possible (and non-fradulent) to see if your name can be added to your husband's account?

Thank you so much for your replies!!!!!!!!!!!!

And please accept my apologies for the message you read earlier was written on my behalf by my husband! He made me feel awfully ebmarrassed as I found loads of grammar and spelling mistakes there! I am sorry!

Please, guys, I`m probably being silly, but I didn`t quite get it! Do you think I should ask my banker now to transform his current account into a joint one so that I can have my name on it?

Thank you, sweeties!

Liliya.

Well you always have the option of editing the message even after posting it. I guess you got it right in understanding what others are trying to convey.

I know things can be a bit daunting, especially so with ever changing immigration rules and VISA categories. But if you go through the guidance notes carefully and apply it to your own case as if you did not know the applicant, things start making sense and you clearly recognise as to what the caseworker would look for in the application if he followed the guidelines while considering your case.

No, I dont need one at the moment.

Oh, God, push_hsmp! I would rather attend a personal interview to be honest so that I can speak to the officer in person! My visa expires on the 30th of May and everything seems to be wrong with the application!

There`s a dismatch between my bank statements and my payslips, a mistake made by my manager in the college where I teach. Hopefully it will be sorted by Tuesday! Then I didn`t earn as much as they expect a highly skilled migrant to earn so I`m planning to prove my `cash-in-hand` earnings, which, I know, sounds a bit silly as I`ve never heard anyone doing that before! But I`ve got to take risk as I`m desperate for staying in this country!!!!!!!!!!

So I `m going to pay Tax and get a confirmation letter from the Tax Office and my accountant, write invoices to every single student I taught even though some of them are literally imaginary ones and if needed I`ll ask them for a cover letter saying I was paid by cash!

But the problem is the money never came through the bank account!!!!!!!! Do you think I couldn`t have possibly spent about £70 a day? It`s normal but they won`t see that on the application and I`m sure it`s fully booked now!

Oh, well, nothing much is left but to pray the officer doesn`t argue with his wife the morning he will be looking through my application! :D

If you do this, that means you are committing fraud. It is a criminal offence and at the very least you could (and should) be deported from the UK.

Cash-is-hand where it is not properly invoiced and taxed can not be proven and is part of the black economy. Legally you don't earn this money, period.

But I really did earn the money! I was even teaching groups of students on the premises of the Cathedral. It was half voluntary, though, but I was still being paid! My students received very cheap classes and I gave half of the money I got to the church. I was just trying to help those poor people who happened to be in the foreign country without the knowledge of the language! But when I last spoke to the priests they said they wouldn`t be able to confirm my earnings as everything done on the premises should be charitable!
Mind you, I didn`t ask for the money. It was initially their idea as they had to pay for the bills, too! I was teaching there late in the evening as I have a full time job teaching English as a foreign language in the college where I am the only one a non-native speaker and I am not being discriminated, they just don`t pay you that much! I love my job and my students love me! No one has ever complained since I started teaching two years ago.

I am going to pay tax for the cash-in-hand even though most of people wouldn`t even declare it! I was also doing some translation and interpretation work and there is nothing abnormal about spending your cash on everyday needs which I did! Everyone would!

Go ahead, though it will be quite onerous collating edidence to support your claim, not to mention convincing the caseworker. All the best.
