Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependant

Post by Amz » Mon Jan 07, 2019 4:41 pm

Hi All

My 5 Years are completing on 4th April 2019 and I have a few questions if someone can help me sort them out.

1. My employment would be 24 months ( mix and match with 3 employees) from March 2018 - March 2019 ( It is my understanding that If the last grant of leave was less than 12 months of ILR than last 12 months will be counted to employment instead of 12 months of extension period i.e. My extension was granted in June 2018 valid up-to June 2020 and My ILR is Due in April 2019 so I can count employment from March 2018 if I am applying in March 2019. So as per law I can apply 28 days before ILR is due, What I would like to know is that what about the employment working hours for the Month of March 2019 If I apply on 15th March 2019, I wouldn't have my salary slips etc for the Month of March, how would Home Office cater for that to make up 24 months of full time employment.

2. My Wife came to UK as my dependant in February 2015 so her 5 years would be completed in February 2020. If I am granted my ILR than what becomes of her visa, since she was dependant on my Tier 1 Route and after my ILR my Tier 1 Leave to remain would not be valid anymore, how does that work for her ?

3. My son was Born in April 2018 UK and he has his visa as dependant until June 2020 same as mine, Do I apply for his ILR as well along-with my visa or not ?

4. Do we need to send Personal bank statement for Maintenance and Business Bank statements along-with Visa application ? I have read mixed answers on this forum so I am not sure.

Prompt response would be much appreciated.

Regards

Your understanding is correct. However, you would need to send the FPS for March 2019 also. You can generate FPS early in the month, not necessarily at the end of the month. Note that you can claim immediately 12 months before the date of ILR

2. My Wife came to UK as my dependant in February 2015 so her 5 years would be completed in February 2020. If I am granted my ILR than what becomes of her visa, since she was dependant on my Tier 1 Route and after my ILR my Tier 1 Leave to remain would not be valid anymore, how does that work for her ?
Your wife can continue as PBS dependent visa till she will qualify for her own ILR

3. My son was Born in April 2018 UK and he has his visa as dependant until June 2020 same as mine, Do I apply for his ILR as well along-with my visa or not ?
Your son can continue as it is. You can register your son as British Citizen once you have your own ILR

4. Do we need to send Personal bank statement for Maintenance and Business Bank statements along-with Visa application ? I have read mixed answers on this forum so I am not sure.
Business bank statement or bank letter is mandatory
Personal bank statements are optional


Prompt response would be much appreciated.

Also note that you can only use transitional arrangements for job creation before 6th April 2019. So you definitely have to apply before that if you want to claim for a combination of employees or jobs.

You would need to send FPS and salary slips both for March 2019** to claim for 24 months

You can register your son for British citizenship once u get ur ILR. Your wife will continue her PBS dependent visa until she completes her five years. U will need to send personal bank statements if ur wife is applying at the same time to fulfil PBS dependent visa requirements.

Hi All

I have 2 urgent questions to ask If someone can help me.

I received the letter of initial Tier 1 visa approval dated: 03-04-2014, I received the BRP which stated place and Date of Issue, UK 24-04-2014 and valid until 03-04-2017

My Questions are:

1. I am allowed to apply 28 days before the completion of 5 years, so which date do I need to take as a reference ? is it:

A. 3rd April 2019 (completion of 5 years in respect to 3rd April 2014 when my Visa approval letter was dated) which would allow me to apply as early as 7th March 2019 considering I can apply 28 days earlier
B. 24th April 2019 (completion of 5 Years in respect to 24th April 2014 which is the date of issue stated on my Initial BRP) which would allow me to apply as early as 28th March 2019 considering I can apply 28 days earlier

My 2nd Questions is:

If I am applying in March 2019 (7th March) does that mean that my past 12 months would be counted as below for employment if total number of hours spread between 3 employees are a minimum of (30 Hours X 52 Weeks = 3120 Hours combined for 2 full time employment

March 2018, April 2018, May 2018, June 2018, July 2018, August 2018, September 2018, October 2018, November 2018, December 2018, January 2019, February 2019

Do I have to include March 2019 as well or not If I am applying on 8th March 2019 ?

You will complete 5 years from date of approval so you can apply 28 days before 3/4/14. see link
indefinite-leave-to-remain/ilr-5-year-r ... 46694.html


My 2nd Questions is:

Do I have to include March 2019 as well or not If I am applying on 8th March 2019 ?

If you apply on 8th March you can claim job creation for 12 months “immediately” before the date of application i.e. 8th March 2018 - 7th March 2019. In that case you have to send FPS for March 2018 - March 2019. You will have to generate an early FPS for March 2019

Thanks a lot Tier1147

Another Question.

I have 3 employees:

Employee A: Started 3rd July 2017
Employee B: Started 1st August 2018
Employee C: Started 3rd September 2018

so from March 2018 - March 2019 it will be 12 months for employee A , 8 months for Employee B and 7 Months for Employee C , in total 27 months of employment. (all with a minimum contractual agreement of 30 hours per week)

What i would like to know is that do i send the salary slips of Employee A for period between July 2017 - March 2018 (against which i am not claiming job creation time) and also in case i do need to send, what about the RTI ?

Do i send RTI from July 2017 - March 2019 or only from March 2018 - March 2019 (as Employee A start date would be on July 2017 RTI


**** Please keep in mind that I am applying under the Immigration Clause:

If my latest grant of Leave is less than 12 months for the completion of 5 years then I can use the last 12 months for claiming points.

You only need evidence for the period you are claiming points for regardless of when the employee started. The start date on FPS law has changed and no more required. So you only need March 18 - March 19 i.e. the period of claim.

I would also like to ask something else. My Business banking is with Santander Bank and I requested a letter from the bank stating the details of my business and current status of my business account i.e. its an active account etc etc.

The bank tells me they have changed the procedure now and since the request is for myself, the letter will be posted at my home address, although the letter will have my business name, business address and account details on it, but it will be posted to my personal home address rather than business address.

Do you think that would be a problem ?

Here is another question and i would appreciate a quick reply

I am applying on 12th March and since my last grant of leave was issued less than 12 months on the completion of 5 years, my job creation will be counted for last 12 months from the date of my application.

My question is if i am applying on 10 march it means last 12 months are from 10th February 2018. I was suggested to submit early RTI for this month. If I do that, my payroll would be disturbed as RTI can only be submitted once a month which i normally do the last day of the month alongwith salary slips. If i submit RTI on 10th march this means that i am only paying employees for 10 days of march and thats what will come up on salary slips as well for march 2019 ans the rest of the 21 days of march will be added onto April salary

Does that sound right ?

Not sure how this will work. Anybody with a quick respons ?

That’s a weird question.. what difference does it make where it’s posted as long as it has ur business address and other necessary details!
The necessary details are
Address
Account creation date
Balance
Signatory
And dated within 3 months

FPS start date was removed January 18..
google it. I got my ILR without sending start dates FPS and so have others.
Your payroll will not be disturbed in any way whatsoever ever.. RTI s can be submitted in advance if ur not expecting any changes in it..
what’s wrong with ur accountant..

Approval date: 03/04/14
Extension: 07/18
ILR 5years: 03/04/19 minus 28 days= 06/03/19
ILR application date 10/03/19
Job creation preceding 12 months
RTI FPS= Mar 18-Mar 19
Corresponding payslips
Your payroll manager or accountant shall and can generate an early RTI for the entire month of March 2019 and issue payslips provided all ur employees that you are claiming for are intending to work till end of March 2019.
In case you want to be proper abt this then just submit
Feb 18 to Feb 19 RTI FPS + payslips AND upload or post March 19 RTI + payslips on 01/04/19
But please apply now so ur in the queue. Do ur biometrics by end of March or whenever you can.
With such evidence the HO should not be able to create any objections..

Re: Tier 1 - ILR - Job Creation Scenarios

Post by Amz » Sun Mar 24, 2019 9:57 pm

Hi

I need some clarifications for Job Creation.

I need to know which of the following Statements is correct:

(A): Scenario

Job 1: Project Co-ordinator (12 Months) - Full Time - Employee A
Job 2: Research & Admin Analyst (8 Months) - Full Time - Employee B
Job 3: Junior Support Analyst (7 Months) - Full Time - Employee C

(B): Scenario

Job 1: Project Co-ordinator (12 Months) - Full Time - Employee A
Job 2: Junior Support Analyst (8 Months for Employee B & 7 Months for Employee C)

Scenario (A) is currently applicable to me at the moment and I am about to apply online in a couple of day's time however i was told today that as per Guidance 2 jobs need to be for an equivalent of 12 months each rather than mix and match of 3 jobs making up 24 months of employment. Can someone elaborate ?

*** I still have time to change the job title and change to Scenario B but i need the correct answer.

Regards

The online form does NOT cater for transitional arrangements soley cz they are ending on 6th April 2019. If you are relying on transitional arragements, you should list your employees as separate jobs as scenerio A. Ignore the online form as it says jobs should exist for 12 months each but it does not apply to you ONLY if you apply before 6th April 2019.

Thanks, just wanted to clarify though, if I go with scenario B would that mean that my job requirement will not be fulfilled ?

I was reading the guidelines and the following point struck me:

Guidance Page 34:

(b) “The equivalent of” a full time job means two or more part time jobs which add up to 30 hours a week will count as one full time job, if both jobs exist for at least 12 months. However, one full time job of more than 30 hours work a week will not count as more than one full time job.

According to the above point it says that one full time job for more that 30 hours will not count as more than one full time job so if I have 2 employees for the same job title working as full time (both of them 7 & 8 months respectively) will only be counted as 8 months, Is that true ?

If you will go with scenerio B, you will confuse the CW and he might only count 30 hours/week from both employees together and disregard the rest. Stick to scenerio A. The decision is yours.

ILR Application - Tier 1 Entrepreneur - New Application Process

Post by Amz » Wed Apr 03, 2019 1:10 pm

Hi All

I have filed my ILR application (Tier 1 Entrepreneur £50,000 route on 5 Years)

I just want to let everyone know that I applied on 29th March 2019 and they now have only 1 process in place which is to upload documents on Sepora website. Once you pay for the application, it takes you to UKVCAS website to upload the documents. You scan all the documents (Make sure that each file size is less than 6MB) and you can scan as many files as you like. The next step is to book and appointment to go to Sepora office in person for documents upload verification and biometrics.

Once you are at the office (I had to pay £50 for appointment booking), they will take you to waiting room , give you a number slip and you have to wait for your number to be called, they will call your number and take you to biometrics machine which you will need to use yourself (they will tell you how).

You scan your application booking receipt, scan your passport in the machine, scan finger prints and it will then take your picture, once done you go back to waiting area and they will once again call your number and ask you to go a certain desk where the guy will check your application if the documents are there.

Please note that Sepora guys DO NOT check the validity of your documents (apart from passport) so you have to ask them to make sure all the documents are uploaded with appropriate scan quality otherwise they will just confirm and submit your application without verifying so please ask them document by document if its uploaded in the system or not.

Once they submit the application, they will return your BRP and Passport back to you and hand over your case of a case worker in Home Office and this will be it.

I suppose since i have my passport and BRP with me and my BRP doesnt run out until July 2020, I am good to travel while my application is in process.

Thanks for everyone to help me out fill my application form, will let you know the outcome of my application

No you are not. If you travel out of the UK, your application will be considered withdrawn.

Post by Amz » Tue Sep 03, 2019 8:04 am

Hello Everyone.

Alhmdulillah by the grace of ALLAH THE Almighty, MY ILR Today has been approved.

I received a letter saying that ILR has been approved and My BRP will be delivered within 7 working days.

I have been receiving regular autmated emails every month that my ILR application is under process and

a decision will be taken within 6 months etc etc. The last email i received was on 29th August and the approval letter is dated 30th August.


I thank all the board members here for helping me out and I pray that whoever is waiting gets his approval soon.

Remember each other in your prayers.
