I am surprised much less docs were asked this time compared to extension applications. Eg. trading activity proof was not asked specifically? I plan to include it as below still along with the consent for verification checks. Enclose: - Financial Statements for the most recent FYE Jun 2020; - Most r...
I have drafted this cover letter based on the requirements for settlement applications in 2020 AND an earlier template letter by @marcnath for initial T1E applications (which I had found to be VERY helpful). I will welcome comments from anyone and hope this helps someone else as well who applies for...
Update: Managed to get the copy of the expired Passport doc from the agency that did background check. Relief, as he has been unresponsive last few days.
@marcnath thanks for all your help to everyone on this forum, much appreciated.
Thanks for the info. @marcnath
Also thought the British passport even though expired would be the solution. Our jobs were advertised through an agency portal and he did complete his verification check with the agency. To us he could produce only the DL. We are chasing up the document, thanks.
I have a clarification re ID document to provide under job creation requirement. I have had 4 employees of which one staff could not provide his UK Passport when joining and we had to take his full UK Driving License as ID proof. Am I able to claim points for this person with the UK DL as ID doc or ...
I am on the Tier-1 Ent route and about to submit my ILR application on the 5-year route. My current leave to remain expire by Sept'20. I had finally managed to find and book a date for the Life In The UK LIUK test in my city, but it is not due till 27 Aug. I have booked with the BRP as the ID to be ...
Thanks, I have gone through the Covid-19 posts (could be a useful fallback to explore). The key point to this regard made by @marcnath 'two jobs of 30 hrs/week each.'. My confusion is if I could fall short of this 30 hrs/ week in certain months having 31 days or as long as annual Hours are above 15...
This is what I understood from the Policy Guidance. Pre 6 April 2014 transitional arrangement- job creation If you successfully applied to enter and have continually remained in the route since before 6 April 2014, and you are making an extension application or a settlement application, you may con...

Thanks much for the candid advice. Just to be clear, we did not actually agree an hourly wage rather an annual salary (for the type of job it would be hard to track by the hour, it was based on trust and it would just happen to end up between 120- 130 hrs p/m). The employee is happy with it but I re...
The employee had 3 days p/w mandatory to work from the office amounted to 8 hrs p/d and other days (work from home days) were never monitored for hours. The person being a designer & animator had flexibility to choose. Maybe I can write a letter to explain the actual arrangement, not sure how effect...
Thank you @marcnath for the clarification and also the link. It is what I was concerned with, we had told our employee it will be a min. 120 hrs p/m and annual salary £12,600 which was acceptable. What I failed to account for is that certain months with 31 days, as you pointed below it may fall shor...

I have employed someone for several months now and we have been paying a monthly salary. The candidate contract is drawn on Nat. Living Wage i.e. £8.21 p/h but we do not track specific hours each month, just pay salary before taxes £1,050 p/m. It is clear how CW calculated Hours worked. Divide Salar...
I have an old employee who was already issued a P45 and who wish to join the company again. By her own choice she needed some time off for family, during this time ca. 1.5 months we hired someone else temporarily and now wish to hire her back. She has been doing work as self employed in between that...
I have a limited company as well still operating, though the latest job creation in recent period I am showing via my self employed account. I would like to hear how your application goes, as long you meet needed points, the tax aspect seems immaterial. For experienced members, a quick query... can ...
I discussed now and he is living with his GF, a UK national for a year and they plan to get married soon. I believe this will give him 'settled status'. We can possibly try to wait it out till that happens (no clue how long it could be)... and if we offer him even a contract/ temp position now, I ca...
Thank you for responding. We will likely need to hire this candidate in addition to another settled in UK person then. Not ideal but I understand Rules are Her rules. Clarification appreciated.
Thank you for the response. I reviewed the documents provided and the visa says T-5 Youth Mobility visa https://www.gov.uk/tier-5-youth-mobility
As per the link, the holder can work in any job in the UK in the validity period. Does this help explain the Right To Work situation? Thanks!
I need an urgent clarification. We are hiring a new person in FT position, after interview of close to 30 candidates, we are settled on hiring an NZ national who is living in the UK and has valid work rights in the UK. The job creation requirement requires employing someone settled in UK, correct? C...
