Thanks Pete...he hasnt been on receipt of public funds. Its gd to know that we now have the option of having his mom as co-sponsor. He's a window cleaner so self employed...are tax returns enough evidence to show his earning money?

Hi is this Emmy ??? I think you are also on Asawa Forum, If so, I sent you a follow up message to yours, however if its not you, in answer to your question, your fiance is a window cleaner, that is ok, window cleaners normally earn good money, his tax return would not be sufficient, he would need to produce evidence of his earnings, say over last 3 years, although I think they will just expect him to produce current bank statements, these are clear evidence of income, also if your fiance has his last 3 audited accounts, that will also help.

I suggest you let him know the following

Have to hand last 3 years audited accounts.
Last 6 months up to date bank statements.


That should be sufficient evidence that your sponsor can support you, as for your question about a co sponsor, I dont think that will be required, unless your fiance is concerned that his income is insufficient to provide for you, if a visa is granted to you to come to UK

This is fortunately not the United States and therefore, there is no hard and fast rule, like for example 125% of poverty level.

I think normally the ECO's just look at the current bank statements, evidence of any savings, but most of all regular income coming in.

I hope that helps.
