[kingraja]

As I suggested to many on this forum, I strictly followed the document requirements in the guide and Immigration Rules Appendix A. I did not write a covering letter and did not send any extra documents. I transferred my 200K investment in a single transaction to my business. I received the IHS refund of £200, two days after my visa was issued.

The list of all the documents I sent:

Personal documents
- Passport and BRP
- Police registration document
- Two Passport size photos
- Personal bank statements showing £945 maintenance for 90 consecutive days

Investment Evidence
- Unaudited accounts and compilation report (showing Director's loan investment under my name) prepared by a Chartered accountant
- Director's Loan agreement (Prepared by business solicitor)
- Single Business bank statement showing the investment transfer under my name to my business

Evidence for being the director of a UK registered business
- Current Appointments Report including the filing history (Download for free from companies house website)
- CT600 from last year
- The most recent business bank statement, single page

Job creation document
- 12 months payslips for two full time employees
- FPS reports showing the starting dates
- P11 for both employees showing the starting dates
- Employees passport copy, UK passports

[zimba]

Thanks guys I also have to remind you that I did NOT use any immigration solicitor. I prepared and sent everything myself.

Do we need to send all 3 yrs business bank statement to show investment came from Director or Only that pages where transactions made.
I have put only 15000 in first year and remaining money in last 3 months of this year before my extension.is that ok ? (only because nature of business where i don't need that much fund)

No, just the statements showing the total of 200K transfers. You do not need to spend all the money in your business.

I have 1 question to all..my company was in profit during 1st year & I took 5000 director salary from profit but 2nd year my company was in loss of 13000 & I took 5500 director salary as well & in 3rd I think I will make some profit again my question is if director salary is remuneration ...

Director's salary is remuneration. Money paid to yourself from your investment money is not counted.

Is this essential to involve business solicitor for director loan agreement.

Not really but I wanted to get it done by a professional business solicitor.

Hello Zimba

Thanks for sharing this info with us.

Could you please share the business solicitor you used and the chartered accountant for these documents?

Thanks

[zimba]

Could you please share the business solicitor you used and the chartered accountant for these documents?

There is nothing special about my accountant and business solicitor. They also had no information/experience regarding the tier 1 rules at all. I read the rules carefully and asked them to prepare my documents to those specifications required by the rules. Any qualified accountant or solicitor must be able to do that for you.
It is entirely your responsibility to make sure that you follow the rules as closely as you can and have all the required documents, that is why I personally researched and followed all Tier 1 rules since I switched to this Tier.

Hi Zimba, Congratulations on your success.

I had two questions.

When I was reading the policy guidance it gave me an impression that I gotta send few copies of current appointment report. Prove it you were a director the whole time you invested, prove it you were a director when you employed them employees. Prove it you became director within 6 months of switching into this visa.
Well I am making separate sections for every point scoring group.
How many appointment report did you submit? 1 will do for all of them above right?

--
I am planning to send three years unaudited accounts and 3 months management account ( I stared the business 4 months before applying for my initial leave). I provided them a share certificate with my initial application too. So the share certificate is dated before my initial leave and all three accounts show 50K share capital.

Did you send all 3 years unaudited accounts or just for the year when you made the actual transfer?

Please feel free to make any comments about the background story I wrote before asking the questions.

Thanks

Would you be so kind to answer the following questions?

Since you sent 3 years unaudited accounts, how old is the last account? You posted the application on 25/02 when was you year end? There will be three months gap between my last account date and possible application date hence I asked my accountant to prepare a 3 months management accounts is that required?

I submitted two share certificates. My 50K investment was done during year 2014-2015. So one certificate had an issue date of jan 2014 and other one May 2015.
I sent two years unaudited accounts and last years Managment accounts. My year end accounts date is in April but my management accounts were prepared until Jan as I submitted my application in feb.

Hope that's clear.
