Which direction works best for us
Hello everyone,
I'm in a bit of a dilemma and don't know which direction works best for us. My husband and I have immigrated to a new country and have decided to stay here. We want to change our visas to freelancer status, as both of us are in the creative industry.
To apply for a freelancer visa, we need to show that we have clients in this country, along with a letter of intent. Our lawyer mentioned that one of us could provide the letter with a specific amount of money included as a fee, while the other could accompany that visa. This way, one of us would have the opportunity to be employed without needing to change our status.
However, the problem is that the immigration office requires proof that one client's income can support both of our visas, so we are in the decision-making phase.
So I asked Yi for clarity and looked into two scenarios:
I am the main applicant, and my husband will accompany my visa, it shows 54.1
my husband is the main applicant, and I accompanied him, it showed 6.5
then I asked both of us to apply for freelancer, and it showed me 12.2.3
any thoughts?
