Self Employed Accounts/Proof of Income for Settlement Visa

[Sheffield Asad]

Hi All,
First post I need reassurance that what I'm doing is fine for my wifes settlement visa application. I Married in Pak April 2009 and my wife will be 21 in January 2010. So cant apply till then. Everything else is in order re correspondence, letters, photos etc.
HOWEVER I'm self employed and since May I have been earning weekly profit about £180 +/- £20. But I spend roughly this amount or less weekly on enjoying life (clothes, food etc)! I'm p/t taxi driver!

My question is this and the 6 months bank statements enough to show I can support her? My balance throughout the 6 month period has been a steady £1500-£1650. Never been in receipt of ANY BENEFITS since 6 years ago!

The £180 +/-£20 has been going into my account since I got back in May.
However my earnings for previous years returns have been about £100 a week +/-£20!
So would an accountants projection for the year 2009-2010 be enough?
Your Help is much appreciated

according to what others have said on here, you need to have about £110 per person AFTER accommodation, so you may want to look at becoming more full time and not "chilling out" quite so much

The £110 per week is that? Also dont have any accomodation expenses as I still live at home with mum and dad. My Fathers written a letter stating that he allows my wife and I to stay indefinatley with out any financial burden. Am I still within the limits?

you'll need to get a Housing Inspection for Entry Clearance done by your local council to send as evidence that the accommodation is suitable, as well as documents proving your parents own the house (land registry entry, mortgage statement, utility bills) plus proof that you live at this address (e.g. bank statements in your name at this address, letter from HMRC)
