Thanks tier11417.
I will follow your suggestion and take a new test.

As one of my employees' has recently resigned, is it mandatory to submit P45 of that employee? Or is it optional?
It is not mentioned anywhere in the guidelines regarding P45.

Many thanks.

P45 is not required
Advice is given based on my personal research and experience only. Do NOT contact me via private message for immigration advice

Can an ex-employee of mine, who had worked as a 'Sales Executive' for my company, rejoin me as an 'Office Assistant'?

Will it raise doubts in the mind of the case worker as these two profiles are extremely different?

Not really.. it’s not like the employee was a rocket scientist and then became an office assistant..
What doubts do you have or are you trying to cover something by changing roles?
I have changed roles of an employee to suit my business needs.

Thanks aman90 for the answer.

The reason for the role change is that my current Office Assistant has resigned.
I can replace him with my ex-employee who was working as a Sales Executive with me around a year back.

To be on safe side, can I put his designation as 'Sales Executive and Office Assistant'? Or do you suggest something else?

Regards

It’s abt job creation more than employees..
JOB 1
Sales executive
Employee XYZ

JOB 2
Office assistant
Employee ABC
Employee XYZ

Or if ur under transitional arrangement

Job 3
Office assistant
Employee XYZ

Hiring a Solicitor

Post by Globe Trotter » Thu Feb 07, 2019 1:24 am

Hi,
There is a popular belief among applicants that hiring a solicitor/ immigration adviser will create a positive impression on the case worker as it portrays that a qualified professional has handled the case.

So is it worthwhile to hire a solicitor/ immigration adviser to submit my case? OR submitting my case all by myself is allright?

Thanks.

Where did you get this “popular” belief? There is no need for an immigration advisor/solicitor unless you really wanna pay for one. The Tier 1 guidance is self explanatory.

Out of curiosity, did you submit your initial and extension visa via solicitor?

I have seen plenty of cases where applicants have been refused due to “professional” solicitor’s negligence.

You are right when you say that many applications have been refused due to “professional” solicitor’s negligence.

My first extension went through a solicitor who did not have any idea about the case and it was me who did all the hard work. I only used his letterhead to create an 'impression'.

The reason to hire a solicitor was that the case worker should not take my case lightly keeping in mind that a solicitor was involved. Was I right in my assumption?

If hiring an immigration adviser is not so important, then why does the form has this question "Do you have an immigration adviser?"

Its a generic question like “are you a male or female” question. I am surprised you still want to use a solicitor after your own bad experience. Anyways its your money, your decision if you want to use one. However, there is absolutely no “impression” scenerio or more success ratio if you use one or not. CW simply follows the guidlines and evidence you provide to make a decision.

Plus if it does not ask that question, where are you supposed to mention immigration advisor’s details if someone has one? 🤔

Thanks tier11417.

If at all a solicitor's service is hired, then all correspondence related to my case goes to his office address.

Is there any process by which I can get all correspondence to my residential/ office address rather than to his address?

SHALL SUBMIT
1- Consent form
2- Passport copies (Old and New)
3- Current BRP
4- LITUK certificate
5- IELTS certificate check if this is still valid. Although, the guidance says you can claim exemption if you have scored points for english previously but the online form seems to ask about english requirement again
6- Cover Letter
7- CAR
8- Incorporation certificate from Companies House not required
9- Letters from HMRC (CT41G & CT603) Some moderators were of the view that CT600 should be sent. So ideally CT600 with CT41G or CT603 will be better. Although the guidance does not specify and I think you are fine with any of the three
10- Original Letter from a bank confirming that I have a business account
11- RTI-FPS reports submitted to HMRC
12- RTI-FPS confirmation received from HMRC not required
13- P11 not required
14- Employee History Report not required
15- Payslips for both employees
16- Letter from accountant confirming employment start date and hourly rate of each worker only required if you took over or joined an existing business
17- Passport copies of both employees

SHALL NOT SUBMIT
1- Self Payslips optional
2- Personal Bank Account Statements optional
3- Business Bank Account Statements bank letter OR 1 month business statement so incase you are relying on bank letter then this is not required
4- P45/ P60 of employees not required
5- Starter Checklist of employeesnot required

Many thanks for your detailed reply.

My other queries are:
1- Do I have to counter sign any of these documents before scanning it?

2- Apart from BRP, what document shall I submit for 'Evidence of XYZ's immigration status in the UK'.

Regards.

I am in the process of getting all my docs in one place. Hopefully by first week of March.

On the Set (O) form there is a provision to declare the 'Job Title' of both the employees.

Is that sufficient or we need to showcase the 'Job Title' in some other documents as well?
