Spouse Visa Application

Post by Faheem » Sat Sep 11, 2010 7:30 pm

Hello All
I am new on this forum, I am going to apply my supouse visa in next week INSHA ALLAH from Lahore Pakistan, My questions are;

1) How many pictures will be enough?
2) Do I need to photocopy of all these photographs as well or need another set of photographs
3) Skype/MSN/Yahoo are these valid communication prove?
4) I took some screenshots while video chating with my wife and son is that ok?
5) I am unemployed (working as independent IT professional earning in cash) what need to enter in form as my earning is also appearing in my bank statement.

Thanks in advance

No! 5 total!

I'm not sure what you mean about being unemployed yet earning 30,000/month? Please clarify.

for pictures: i been married since 2005 and had 3 visits to UK as well now decided to live there permenently so u think 5 pictures will be enough to show them????

its not that i am working with any company, I am working at my own with out any company name, as freelaunce, dont know how to describe it. company hire me as independent IT professional for a specific task which can be complete in a day / week or so and paid me in cash or cheque which comes in my bank sometimes.

hope you understand?????

Right, since your wife is the sponser, they're more interested in her income anyways. Since you will be moving to the uk I assume you won't have this job any longer? So it's important that she can support both of you.

Yes 5 is enough. People over load their apps with tons of pictures which are practically irrelevant anyways.

You're not 'unemployed', you're self-employed. In the UK you would have to be legally registered as such and pay tax on your earnings. I assume if you're paid in cash you may not be doing this in your own Country, but you will have to explain where your bank savings have come from.
