Hey congrats on getting the visa.. i understood all what you said but it would be great if u only answer my question.. DID YOU REGISTER YOURSELF AS A DIRECTOR /SELF EMPLOYED before 90 days of submitting the application? In other words how old was the company when u submitted your application. I registered myself as self employed in February but somebody told me that it would be more great to submit the application by showing urself as a director of company.. unfortunately i have only 60 days left on my visa .. which way should i take self employed/ director?
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards

Hello @Memyselfandi,

Congrats for getting Visa.

I have seen in one of your previous posts that, you got letter from home office to submit further evidence of your maintenance funds in seven working days.why did they ask again about proof of your maintenance funds or investment funds.What is the problem with the funds.

Could you please give me more details on what evidence you have submitted with in seven working days. Is it about 50K business investment funds or 90 days maintenance funds.

Please clarify me about above query.

I am planning to apply for tier 1 entrepreneur visa by maintaining 200k funds for 10 days in India to move from tier 4 to tier 1 entrepreneur. Do I need to maintain full 200k funds till I get Visa. Why I am asking this question because, If I withdraw total money from account after I get a letter from bank and apply for visa, during the visa process, if UK BA asks again for up to date letter from Bank then I may not able to submit it with in 7 working days. Could you please help me in this scenario what to do.

Hi
Can please some body clear me few things.
1. ''The report must show your name, as named in your application form, as the Director of a business that is actively trading and not struck-off, or dissolved or in liquidation on the date that the printout was produced''.
I register the company and got only two documents from Companies House which are certificate of incorporation and memorandum of association'' .
I can not see my name as a director is mentioned on both the documents only my name is mentioned on memorandum of association as under Name of each subscriber.is this what shows me as a director?
My 2nd question is
The date of this document should be within the three months immediately before the date of this application.
Means i need to submit my application within 90 days of incorporation not after 90 days of incorporation ?
Kindly any help will b much appreciated .
Regards

I understand that you showed your funds in a UK bank account.
Did you also include any letter from the bank or is that not required for funds held in UK?

Hi there,
First of all, congratulations for your new visa!!!! What a dream became a reality. I would very appreciate your intention to help others who are waiting to get this. So could you please advise me on following information
1) What is actually "No earlier than 3 months" meanse? In the guidance notes, in another place, it says "Within the last 3 month"
So is that mean I can register with HMRC as self employed when 2 months before the application date? OR,
Do I have to register it at least 3 months before (Eg: 4 or 5 months before as valied periods) the application date ???
MY VISA RUNS OUT 23RD SEPTEMBER AND 3 MONTH PERIOD STARTED ON 23RD JUNE. SO PLEASE HELP ME
2) What documents we can submit to prove " Trading contracts"

Thank you very much

Dear memyselfandi,

Thanks in advance for opening this thread and helping other in this issue. My question here is: Can we show the maintenance fund in main applicant and dependent's account for 90 days. For eg. if I have to show £1500 then can I show £1200 in my account and £300 in my partner account who is the dependent of mine.

Once again thank you very much for such a great suggestion.

Hi hello, Salam Alaykum , Namaskar . Congratulations on your visa sister... . I would like to also discuss my situation with other brothers and sisters on this post .
Well , I am a software developer with a handsome contracting package now and am on my post study visa right now which expires soon in the end of november. Moreover , I heard that if i register a company and well get a Entrepreneur visa i can still do the contracting jobs but not the permanent ones... I was wondering if i have the right information about this . I would request the group members to share your thoughts of doing contracting IT jobs here rather than going for a TIER2 visa . You can mail me down on er.riyaz1n1@gmail.com with your thoughts...We can share the information and indeed every information is worth.. ... cheers...
