Hi mods ,
I want to bring my fiance to the UK and have a small wedding shortly after.
Currently, I am on the final extension of my Entrepreneur Visa and will have my ILR in <2years!

Is my status considered settled or can I not use the Fiancé Visa route until I have my ILR?


Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I just applied for my Entrepreneur Extension. I uploaded all the required documents and booked an appointment for the 30th Nov. Do I need to submit the physical copies of the original docs again in the appointment or is the appointment just for the biometrics? From the email I received ...

Hi mods, My visa extension is due on the 15th of November 2020. My second employee(job) started working from the 5th of November 2019. I run my payroll end of every month so the last payslip processing was on the 30th of October. Is it okay to apply with this or do I need to process another payslip ...

Thank you for your prompt response Zimba. Much appreciated.
So can i travel back to the UK in October just for my visa extension (Visa expires in Nov)?

Hi moderatos, I am going to extend my Entrepreneur Visa in November. However, due to an emergency situation, I have to fly back to my country for some time. I would really appreciate it if you could let me know what options I have? Can I travel when I have only 6months left on my Entrepreneur Visa ...

Hi moderators, Even with the corona crisis, I still managed to pay my staff for the last 2months since I didn't want to delay my visa extension process (meaning I didn't want to opt-in for the temporary extensin by furloughing my employees). However, I did furlough myself(Director) for that time ...

Thanks, just saw it.
But it also says for the furloughed time you can get a further extension of the current visa (temporary extension) if the employees don't cover 12 months of the job requirement

Hi I got approved my Tier-1 entrepreneur visa recently in Jan'2020. I have a question can my company is able to claim the 80% furlough under the current covid-19 crisis? Much Appreciate your response in advance. Thanks Biswajit Yes, there is nothing that prevents your company from claiming the 80 ...

Hi Moderators, Most businesses from next week looks to shut down temporarily (mine including). :shock: :oops: Would I be able to claim 80% of wages for my employees and put in the remaining 20% from now on? I have a shop in Camden (which already closed until further notice) so one of my employees is ...

Thanks for all the help moderatos (Marcnath & Zimba) Also, I have a few questions: 1) Another employee is starting their job this week but said they will require 2-3 weeks to get their p45. When will the start date be shown? I want it to be from this week. Do I have to wait for the p45? 2) Can my ...

You do not report anything. The form will ask you about the hourly rate of your workers. They use that to work out how many hours they worked and whether you paid them correctly (No of weeks worked * 30 * hourly rate) >= (Total salary paid) Thanks for the prompt reply Zimba. Two things: 1) I am ...

Not necessarily because any hours worked for more than 30 per week is ignored. This is why you should only count the weeks worked and ignore the months. How many weeks did they work which was at least 30 hours per week ? As long as they have 52 weeks you should be fine. Hi Zimba, I will extend one ...

Hi Zimba,
The 1 week off was unpaid. In that given 4-week month he/she worked 120 hours in total.
The payslip doesn't show weeks, just the units of hours which is 120 for that month.

Is this fine?

Hi moderators, I have a question about jobs and hours. Let's say I have an employee who has worked 8 hours a day for 3 weeks but takes the last week off. This means in a 4 week month period (i know some months are a 5week period) he/she has worked 120 hours. Will this satisfy (4-week month in this ...

Hi marcnath, Thanks for the replies! You probably don't know this but you helped me get my Ent initial visa when I switched from the graduate entrepreneur visa. Not sure if I lost my previous login or something. :cry: The Company Records Report shows all the details including net pay. Payslip does ...

Hi Macrcnath/Moderators, Just to clarify, my accountant sends me 3 things every month: 1) FPS Report (Does show company name, net pay, payment method, NI/PAYE amounts, etc) 2) XML File showing Name, PAYE, NIC, etc (does not show net pay) 3) FPS Submission log (with a correlation ID, Date/Time of ...

Hi Marcnath,
I have both the FPS Report and the XML file (XML file shows Name, NI Pay Date, Tax Month, PAYE, etc).

Is this fine?

Thanks for the heads up!

Thank you for the quick response moderators. Eternally grateful. I for one do not undermine the work you all do for so many people with important immigration matters. I had a question about FPS/RTI submissions. My accountant uses SAGE for those payments which shows all the details including Name of ...

Hi everyone ,
Just a quick question:
Does it matter if the fps are weekly or monthly? I run my payroll monthly.

Many Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have approx 1 year left for my Ent. visa extension. I was just checking the .gov page and saw you have to apply online. Are we supposed to apply online from now on?

Thanks!

From my understanding: Only certain subjects will require you to get an ATAS certificate, not all.

Thanks for the prompt reply marcanth
Yeah looking at the policy guidance, it does seem this would be easier/less paperwork to do.

Hi everyone,
The money I invested was through share capital where 1 share was valued at £1 so hence the £50,000 investment.
From this forum, I can see most people opt for Directors Loan. Is it okay for me to invest this way? Am I at a disadvantage here?

Thanks, @marcnath

I will let it be for now

I just calculated my visa length and it was: 2 years 11 months and 11 days.

Does it looks correct?

I switched from the graduate entrepreneur visa.

Thanks
