Being in limbo whether to apply in April 2020 or now in Jan

[Jalaleh Soltani]

Hi there
My husband is also a British citizen he sells Cosmetics online on eBay and Amazon. He's been into his his business for almost 6 years now, and paid his tax return and he also got all his payment statement from the bank. all clear and he also has 2 bank accounts, one biz account and one personal account both accounts on his own name. But now a solicitor told us that he must wait until April 2020 for the tax return to make all his deposits and make sure of all his detailed statements ... Is there anyone who knows about this? does this really matter ?> as he doesn't even get paid in cash, all online and obviously for his online payments he's got all relevant documentations. Meanwhile we spoke to a couple of solicitors they said it must be fine. Now we are absolutely uncertain what will happen to our application?
Please help us if anyone can
We are applying for Spouse UK Visa.

Hello
My husband and I applying for UK spouse visa, we married in Feb 2019.
now I had one general question, about this 18600 GBP that he must prove to the Home Office, as a sole trader does it have to come with some deposit documentation?

If this 18600 was not transferred little by little, does it matter that he had to have some sort of deposit to prove it?

He is a sole trader in Amazon and eBay selling cosmetics since 6 years ago, he has been VAT registered and he got his VAT certificate as well and we are proving it to the Home Office through our Visa process, He has also paid his tax in July 2019 and I must add all his transactions so far were Online and nothing in Cash.

And the money he had in his account was £18,910
He has all related documents through his bank statement and his got two bank accounts on his names actually but only using one of them for his business transactions.

The only thing that it GOT US TOO WORRIED is that he has not got enough deposits for this 18,910 that he put in his account because his business is online.
We have got some more letters from his accountant and one more support letter from his accounts explaining everything about his accounts and transactions.(I attached below).

We are terribly confused and not sure what to do now?

We really need one only answer to find out whether we can apply now or wait until April 2020.
A solicitor, xxxxxxx, he mentioned that this might cause to a rejection through our visa process and he recommended to wait until April 2020, until the tax return.

Now we are both very confused and disappointed as we have been together 8 years now and it is way too difficult for us to be apart like this.


Your reply is highly appreciated.

The supporting evidence you are required to submit to demonstrate income from self-employment is detailed in Section 9.6 from page 64 of the guidance document linked below (which includes evidence of ongoing self-employment). To use this income to meet the financial requirement of £18,600 per year (assuming no non-British children are being included), it will be considered under Category F or Category G, which are also described in the guidance document. Under these categories you can meet the financial requirement using income from either the last full financial year (Category F) or the average of the last two full financial years (Category G). You need to see if the income received in the last full financial year (or average of the last two full financial years), which would have ended in April 2019, meets the requirement.
