Anybody self-sponsor?

[Fandango 1,439]

I'm just a lil curious because being that I am self-employed, I have to show 3 yrs tax returns, which I don't have cos for 4 years I didn't work. I only started working again in the middle of last year..so this concerns me as it related to the Affadavit of Support.

I've heard about people self-sponsoring thru London, and I'm just curious if anyone here has done it?

Thx

Hi Lisa

i am not sure if jenart did that as her daughter had only been self employed for a short while, why not drop London and email and check if it can be done for you.

Hope all is well

I know someone who JUST interviewed around May/June had a bit of a tricky time with his sponsors so he ended up sponsoring himself (I'm trying to remember his review...something about they were saying his fiancee had children she actually didn't...)

Paul was prepared to self-sponsor if we ran into any trouble but I was accepted just fine. I've heard the amount really varies, anywhere from something like 1,000GBP to 5,000...hopefully someone will have a concrete answer for you.

Good luck!

Yes, many people self sponsor with no problems at all.

I self-sponsored. I emiled the embassy with list of my assets and asked them if it would be enough. They said yes and I printed out that reply to take with me at the interview. They just took photocopies of evidence I brought and that was that.

Unfortunately, you can't do it when it comes to AOS though.

I also self sponsored, and used the same assets at AoS.

Last I heard it was c 3,500 quid.
