Any one applied after 11th July rules and got visa ?

Thanks for replying DANISH,

You might have been called for interview due to two main reasons: 1. Funds have already been invested (I dont know how much you have invested) and
2. because your business money 50000£ is in business account....
Normally the money that you want to invest for business should be held in your personal account so far.
But whatever you are earning money from business that one you can transfer into your business account.

Did you receive any exceptionally complex letter before interview being conducted?

Hi Rockey,

If you have already LTD company, investment is done in two way :

1) You can invest the money in the form of shares get share certificate by an accountant. As soon as the money is transferred into the business account, it is considered as money invested. Later on you can spend that money on your day to day business expenses.

2) Directors Loan - Directors are separate entity and company is a different entity. Directors are never the owner of the company, they are the officers or the employes of the company. Director can do the investment in the forms of directors loan by transferring money from personal account to the business account. As soon as money is transferred to business account, it is considered as investment. If you invest through Director loan, you should have a proper Directors loan agreement.

Since i am the only shareholder in my company I have invested the money in form of Shares.

I did not received any complex letter from HO, i just received a letter for interview in the 8th week of my application, the interview is scheduled on 5th nov.

Hoping for the best.

My friend we can get this info from senior members but i assume that all of them have got some kind of reply from HO and they are now no more on this blog!!!!!!!

Had interview and waiting since then, no update. I don't know what's HO new plan for withholding applications again. I think all having same problem.. any update, will be definitely updated on this forum...

Hi

No update since I have attended my interview on 21st oct.

I think HO wants to finish interview process first and then decide all applications. ....it is my observations. .

What do you think guys....

Take care

Hi PKBD,

if HO wanted to finish interview first then they would have taken mine !!! because it has been more than 2 months i have not received any interview letter except excetionally complex letter that one i received a more than 6 weeks ago..

It looks something else , HO might be looking for excuses so that visa can be rejected..God know better we are just assuming..

Visa was approved. I think building credibility for your visa application is a big plus for the approval rather than the dates (11th July) in the new guideline. I fell short in the area of adverts, insurance policy and professional membership association.

My timeline and documents below

PSW visa expired on 23/08/2014
Entrepreneur visa applied for on 23/08/2014 with team member in the same big envelope(risky, i won't advise anyone to do that)
HO acknowledgement received via solicitor on 28/08/2014 or thereabout
Team member (with 2 dependants) application returned as invalid same day (meanwhile expired on 28/08/2014)
Team member application resubmitted on 06/09/2014
Biometric letter received on 04/09/2014
Biometric given at local post office 22/09/2014 (had to wait that long so that my team member would receive his own biometric letter)
Approval granted to me, my business partner (+ 2 dependants) on 29/10/2014
Still awaiting my BRP though!

Hi Rockey,
I didn't receive any letter from the HO throughout the application process.I registered as a company director since February 2014.
Hope this answers your question.
