Hi All, Help and advice needed.

I hope you've completed the right forms, as your partner isn't required to have a brass farthing (or even a bank account) if she is being sponsored by YOU for a spouse visa.

Visitor Visa...yes.

Ok guys thanks for your help. I will double check form but very sure it was the correct one. She asked them why when the embassy called and they said because she is self employed ?
Could someone forward this to terpe. Thanks

as long as your earning £18.6k a year they should have no reason to refuse you on finances, i don't know why they have asked her for 6 months of bank statements,

are you definitely sure she said she asked for her bank statements ? i take it you sent 6 bank statements ? what was the date of the last bank statement you supplied ?

[James101]

Hi all, definately was a spouse form we completed. Would it have to do with the new bond schemes i know we do not require a bond for spouse but would they do a check on financial status instead as that is what somebody told me ? Yes Joe i sent 6 statements well actually 8 because of delays. The last one was two months ago.
