Hello. I have made my application for ILR (Long route). I've been in the UK since Oct. 2010 and I haven't broken continuous residence. My appointment for biometrics is on the 30th November. I have some questions about the documentation I am supposed to upload to the UKVCAS website. - A document ...

When I did my Post Study Work visa application (same day application), the UKBA (as they were back then) officer who interviewed me told me to get a statement that showed my closing balance for the day. I had fulfilled the financial statement obligations using my Barclays statements, but I guess she ...

I would be unable to satisfy the job creation stipulation (24 months minimum for 2 or more people) for an extension. My question is: can I make a fresh out-of-country application (200K) to obtain another tier 1 visa? You are wrong, you need only 12 month of Job creation for 2 people not 2 years for ...

You are entitled to make further investment with the funds you have available. Thanks for your response, Obie. I appreciate I can make further investments into my current business, however, with the time I have left on my current visa I would be unable to satisfy the job creation stipulation (24 ...

Hello. I am currently on a tier 1 (entrepreneur) 50K visa, obtained via the PSW route. It expires in November. When I obtained the visa, my industry sector was booming and obtaining contracts for the work I do was not a problem. However, over the past 2 years the industry (engineering, oil and gas ...

Hi huehue

I applied from within the UK

I responded to this message on a thread I made recently, to the same person who created this thread. I hope he/she has received the confirmation they need, but just in case anyone else is confused about this: Your company being older than three months makes no impact on your application !!!!! It's ...

I concur with what Olasunkanmi said.

It's in your personal account, not your business account, so it is available to you by name, and not to your business.

Misskin, The requirement is that your company has to have been active for the last three months. The wording from UKBA is a bit confusing, but the important thing is that in the past three months the company has been trading, as opposed to being dormant. My company had been actively trading since ...

Hi Wazobia, I'm also planning to use a contract I got through a recruitment company. It's a 1 year contract. Do you think it is ok to show as part of my application? I also have another contract which is direct through a company. I don't know why, but I'm not sure how the UKBA would feel about ...

Thank you, El Cholo. I had a pm from someone on this board, and I think it'll be best to share here, in case anyone else has the same questions, and it might save repeating the same thing again ============================================ 1) Can you plz tell me what is Engineering consultancy ...

I got my visa without a landlord approval letter, although my business is engineering consultancy. I won't think you would, either. Not sure what do to about the contract details. The guidance clearly states what is required. It is not about the contract being null and void without those details, it ...

Thanks everyone. Like I said, it really helped that I was able to read through this forum. Heck I didn't even know this opportunity existed for PSW holders until September 1st, when I checked this forum out of curiosity. Since then I had been greedily assimilating knowledge.

Seems like their processing time has really improved!! Thanks to everyone on the forum who has shared their experiences, and continue to share advice with others. This is the second time in 3 years this forum has come to my aid (previous was PSW) and hopefully I can help others too. OK, let's start ...

In this day and age, there are lots of contracts done with foreign companies from the UK. It's the nature of business. Personally, I don't think it's important where your client is. Your company is based in the UK. You pay UK taxes. Your business bank is based in the UK. Like Olasukanmi said, the ...

Hi buddy's got the visa with in a month, i am very happy. Congratulations to you my friend, and good luck with your business! I am sure I speak for most people here when I ask for you to please furnish us with details of your application, i.e. -The timeline of your application, when you submitted ...

As Darvesh said, the 50K must be your own money. Money in your business account is company money. How will the home office know your liabilities (corporation tax, VAT, PAYE/NI, dividend tax) or your profits (dividends) just by looking at your business account balance? Except of course if you get ...

Please help me gurus & others. Are they based on company information, director's report, Accountants report & notes to the account? Please guys help me . An audited account is when the accounts of your company (i.e. your monies in and out, your credits and debits, basically the financials of your ...

Hi friend, yes I got the BRP and approval letter today..... Waiting for Passport and docs. Congratulations! And thanks for sharing. Can you also share the list of documentation you submitted? It would be of great help to members of the forum (myself included!) if we could compare your documentation ...

I am a bit confused by your timeline. You say your visa expired 1st Feb 2013. You applied the day before, and your application was refused on 25 March. You then appealed on 24th September. What happened in the 5 months in-between your refusal, and your appeal, considering the fact your visa had ...
