smithinoz Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 That's awful Ade72 - what sort of earning are they querying to make them think it was part time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade72 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Let's just say I keep it to the minimum, I think the dream could be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithinoz Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Let's just say I keep it to the minimum, I think the dream could be over. Minimum wage? Do you have a limited company - do you also pay dividends? Has the CO said specifically what they want/need? Could you do a stat declaration?

ade72 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I dont have a limited company ,used too many moons ago ,i'm a sole trader . They say that because my earnings are low that i'm working part time ,they hav'nt asked that ,they told me ? just going through our family tax credits at the mo and it clearly stats hours worked 30 hours per week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milliem Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I had similar thing Ade Try not to lose heart. it might still be ok. I sent additional letters /declarations and all I could get my hands on. They kept asking for more. In the end I just emailed them and and said I didn't have any further evidence. My CO referred the case to a manager for a decision based on what was there. It took a long time but I have just been asked for meds which is progress. Millie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade72 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hi Millie , i've done all the meds ,this was the last kick of the game , I've given them everything I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithinoz Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Well that's positive news :biggrin: Hopefully that will count as acceptable evidence. Do you have an accountant? If so, would they do you a letter? Not sure what else to suggest. I know it's easy to say (i am not an optimist by nature) but try not to worry too much. Sleep on it, you may have a "lightbulb moment". Let us know how you get on - good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milliem Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hi Millie ,i've done all the meds ,this was the last kick of the game , I've given them everything I have Hi Ade Do a statutory declaration to say you worked those hours for that amount of time. Why not also get a fellow colleague, someone who has known you in business for a long time to write a letter / do a declaration. Millie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporty Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hi Ade, Do you do you tax returns online? If so print them off, then send them your tax credits letters and a stat dec from someone you have worked with just to state you work on a full time basis. It will be fine, you just need to do a bit more leg work for that Visa :confused:it will be worth it. Give us a call if you need anything, remember stay positive!

shaneand jackie Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 hi ade your not by yourself mate, my agents warning me i could be in the same boat as you when i proceed with my application.Looks like I'll have to just roll the dice and with regards to your question,you need a solicitor to witness your stat dec.

Sporty Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 No ours were only signed by the person who wrote it, not witnessed by a a solicitor. Just make sure it is done on letter headed paper. Do a stat dec yourself as well and tell your agent that it's all you have as proof. The inland revenue can take up to 12 weeks to send out your work history. If you have bank statements from the business use these aswell. Have you do any sub contracting work? Sporty x Does the stat dec need to witnessed by a solicitor and the person who has signed it .

shaneand jackie Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Inland revenue faxed me my work history within 10 mins and when I did a stat dec and had to place my hand on a book and repeat what the solicitor said.i suppose everyones experiences are different.but if it'll help I have the direct number to the department that helped me out :-) I will try to dig it out if you need it.
