Any changes in April?

Post by dd156 » Fri Feb 26, 2016 9:09 pm

Are any changes coming into effect from April 2016 for the Tier 1 Ent category?
I know that some changes were made in November but I think the Home Office only makes major changes twice a year.
Also, is the maintenance amount the same as last year?

Also, is it true that maintenance cost of £945 cannot be shown in a cash ISA account with a UK bnk? Or is the problem with stock ISA>

You have to wait for any changes to the rules until April. The maintenance threshold for applications within the uk is currently set to £945 for the main applicant and it must be held in cash only accounts.

Convert DL to shares

Post by dd156 » Sun Feb 28, 2016 1:03 pm

Is it possible to convert an unsecured directors loan to share capital? The director is the only shareholder and the only director.

Only cash ISA is acceptable. This is according to Immigration Rules Appendix C, paragraph 1A:
(j) Maintenance must be in the form of cash funds. Other accounts or financial instruments such as shares, bonds, credit cards, pension funds etc, regardless of notice period are not acceptable.

What to do when details of lender and company change

Post by dd156 » Fri Mar 11, 2016 7:41 am

In my case, the addresses of the company and my personal address, both have changed and are therefore different from the time when the director's loan agreement was signed. Do I need to update the agreement in any way, to reflect that the details of the lender and borrower have changed?

No. Your filing history shows change of address

From 18th onwards you have to pay £1204 for standard main application. Dependant fees seem be unchanged. Just wait as HO will update the forms in few days.

Bank statement copies

Post by dd156 » Mon Mar 21, 2016 9:56 pm

Is it ok to submit printouts for the purpose of Director's Loan? I made the investment in a number of installments, so just wondering if I need to order originals or printouts are ok.

The standard & specification of bank statement is clearly mentioned in policy guidance. Original bank statements or online bank statement stamped and/or having covering letter from bank are acceptable. A simple printout will not be acceptable.

Copies are not acceptable. Business bank statements must be original statements showing all the transactions under your name

Judicial reviews for entrepreneur route

Post by dd156 » Sat Apr 02, 2016 10:54 pm

Is it true that judicial reviews aren't covered by immigration rules like admin review and section 3c doesn't apply?
So can HO get you deported while you are waiting for your case to be heard?

Judicial review is part of the UK administrative law in which a court reviews a decision made by a public body such as home office. JD is not covered by immigration rules and section 3C does not apply. This means you will be an overstaying if you remain in th uk without a visa.
An over stayer could be subject to removal and entry ban as covered by the law.

Thank you for replying. What happens if the courts overturn a decision made by HO? Does the period of overstaying still cause issues for ILR?

Transaction History Statement vs Bank Statement

Post by dd156 » Sun Apr 03, 2016 2:14 am

I am not fully sure what the difference is between the two, except that transaction history statements cover a longer period.
Natwest have sent me transaction history statements instead of bank statements and these look pretty much the same as bank statements, but can I use these for the maintenance requirement?

If JR is in your favour, then 3C will become engaged again. If it is not in your favour, you are an overstayer from date of visa expiry.

Thank you for your reply. That sounds fair, but if HO can get you deported, I'm guessing they'll do it before the case is heard.

Section 3C can only be reinstated again if:
-an in time application was logged originally and
-you appealed the decision on time within 14 days and
-JR court overturned the original decision as unlawful

Natwest statements usually have 5 columns: date, details, withdrawn, paid in, balance. As long as what you got shows the balance after each transaction, and you meet the requirements, you can use it for proving maintenance.
