K4. Were any of these investment funds shown as part of your successful application for
your last grant of leave?
Yes all of the funds were shown in the previous application. Go to part L
Yes some of the funds were shown in the previous application. Go to K5
No none of the funds were shown in the previous application. Go

I got my visa in 2013 and money was available but not invested.which one i need to choose as now 200k invested ?

Should be No. You showed you have access to funds in initial application but did not make any investment.

They are asking if these funds were shown in first application which should be YES.
They are not asking if they were not invested as part of initial application.

Hi,
Section is self explanatory, K3 explains the question as "Have you invested no less than £200,000 (or £50,000 if, in your last grant of leave,you were awarded points for funds of £50,000) in cash directly into one or more businesses in the UK over the period of the initial grant of leave......"

It should be "NO" as table 3b1 can not be skipped. Table 3b1 need to be filled in order to show direct cash investment in UK business.

Every application is different and will be decided on its own merits. There is no exact time frame on how long it will take for you to hear back from HO. The guideline is around 6-8 weeks

The normal processing time is 8 weeks so its seems normal processing so some people got an answer within 10 days and some got in five to six weeks.

Can't see any reason to be worried for!

Dear members,

Just to share a good news with everyone, solicitor informed me that our visas are granted. I'm the main applicatant, have a little boy and wife as dependents.

My wife received a 2nd Biometric Letter on last Tuesday 26th April. After discuss with solicitor, they advised just go to postoffice and re-do it, maybe the 1st Biometric data not success upload to UKVI, we re do the biometric again on same day.

Today 4th May, we have this good news. Here are the details:

1. Date application posted 8/3/16
2. Payment made: Debit Card
3. Date payment debited: 10/3/16
4. Date Biometric Letter Received: 17/3/16 (dated: 14/3/16)
5. Date of biometric enrolment : 17/3/16, my wife's 2nd biometric enrolment on 26th April.
6. Approved letter revived by solicitor on 4th May 2016.
6. Date leave to remain valid from: waiting post
7. Date passport n document received: waiting post

Wish all others in this forum have the best luck......thank you.

Need ask them and let you know

Does the visa processing only begin after the biometrics are done?

Yes. If you do not provide them, your application becomes invalid

Hi my application timeline was similar to yours, i havent heard anythg aftr the biometrics too.
Good luck

To all the people who have heard back from the Home Office, did your decision letter arrive with or separately from the documents?

Your BRP and letter arrive together and your documents arrive separately.

Thank you for your reply, Zimba.
Last time with initial application, I got the letter with the documents and the BRP arrived on its own, so I guess the process has changed.

They used to send the BRPs with secure post but it seems they cut back on that. Now letter and BRP are sent together and documents are send separately

Oh, so it's not sent with DX courier now? Is it send by second class royal mail?

after 7days waiting, finally we received our BRP cards and documents.

thank you for everyone's help .

Thank you Zacklee.
Does anyone know if section 3c applies to end of AR even if AR is refused?

Does anyone know if section 3c applies to end of AR even if AR is refused?

If you applied for your visa before the expiry date and then HO refused your application after that date, your leave will be extended by section 3C automatically for
- up to 14 days after refusal to apply for AR or
- Until your AR is concluded & served

So if your AR is refused, your section 3C ends two business working days after your refusal is served and then you become an over stayer. Section 3C also ends immediately if you withdraw your AR or if you apply for a new application at any time during section 3C period.

I would like to dedicate my first post to zimba88 for his great contribution to this forum which has helped me a lot in preparing my successful application. Thank you very much!

I entered the 50k route in April 2013 switching from post study visa. During the initial 3 year period, my status was Sole Trader (self-employed). I applied for extension with 3 dependents (wife and 2 sons). My timeline is as followings:

18 March 2016: Application posted (old form)
31 March 2016: Payment taken (old fee)
1 April 2016: Biometric letter received (biometric given the next day)
5 April 2016: Letter received from Home Office asking for partial payment (to match the new fee). The payment page from the new form was enclosed which was completed and posted back to Home Office the next day
8 May 2016: Partial payment taken
11 May 2016: Partial IHS refunded
12 May 2016: BRP received by courier while approval letter and documents received by Royal Mail Signed For (dated 10 May 2016)
