Hi guys!

I am finally in a position where in 6 months time we can hopefully apply for a visa for my hubby. However, like a thunderstorm on a fine summer day, I have recently come across another hurdle to our quest!

Basically, I am a company director of a small business I started one year ago. At the moment I am receiving a director's salary which is £8,500 gross annual salary (to fall before the taxable amount). I have also recently taken up another job to help us reach the minimum income threshold. With the company salary and my other job I have calculated my income to fall just above the income threshold.

Now my dilemma is this: as what I can understand (and please correct me if I am wrong) the financial requirement appendix states that they will only take into consideration any income from a self-employment (or directorship) that falls under the latest financial tax year (basically April 2013 - April 2014). I have just started my other job this March and was hoping we could apply this September. However, my director's wages from April 2014 - September won't be sent to HMRC yet until the financial year ends on 2015!

What do I have to do so that I can make it possible for us to send our application through by the end of this year? We have been waiting for years to get this visa sorted and finally we are now in a position where we know we can pass the requirements.

Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with Combined Income contributions? I know we can fulfill the minimum income threshold, my problem is just How to show them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!
