Hi Abuhf, It would be best to submit any receipts that shows that the business is genuinely trading. It could be invoices or bills under the business name. End of the day, it is our job to prove. Other way to work around would be to go through your business account transactions and submit all those ...

Congratulations Yash! Glad to hear your positive outcome.

If you don't mind, could I trouble you to list down the questions you were been asked during the interview please? I understand that you wont remember all but whichever you could recall please? It would be really informative.

Thanks

Hi, Just trying to understand the processing timeline. I would really appreciate if someone could help to clarify for me please. I understand the fact that HO would take their time to decide the outcome of the application. However, I would like to understand if the processing time mentioned on the H...

Hi yash,

When did you submit the application?

Hi Zimba,

Thanks for the reply. I have already established/registered a company and trading as per the immigration rules. Just that I have to fulfill the criteria of having 200k investment and 2 full time jobs.

Thanks once again for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it.

Hi Zimba,

Thanks for the suggestion. However, since I did not receive the funds from VC, could I invest 200k and extend my visa?

I went through the link you provided. However, in that case the business has to be very unique. It would be challenging to meet the criteria.

Hi Zimba,

Thanks for the reply. That means, since the funding is not available through VC firm and that is the reason I have to show 200k investment? Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Thanks

Hi Everyone, I have a complex situation here and hope to have some advise from the experts please. I came on a 50k investment route using a VC firm 2.5 years ago. It was shown on the document that the funds were to be only provided to me when I reach here. However, when I reached here, I did not sti...

Hi Azraa,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I agree with your suggestion. I have an infant as well and travelling all the way there with an infant and specifically in this climate, just worries me. Having said that, I agree with your suggestion.

Hi,

Just curious if the applicants need to be present at the time of application at the VFS?
I need to renew passport for my wife and daughter(Minor) expiring in August and December
respectively. Should I just go alone on behalf of them to submit all the necessary documents?

Thanks

Thanks Marcnath. Home office defines full time as a 30hours working week. So based on 2 employees at 30 hours each, would lead to total of 3120 hours for 12 months. So if scenario one is correct then I need to employ 2 employees. However, my query is, could I employ one person to achieve this 3120 h...

Thanks Marcnath for the reply. Based on the casework information, Could I conclude that any of the following scenarios are possible? Scenario 1 : 2 Full time employees (30hrs/Week) Total Number of Hours/year for 2 employees : 3120 Scenario 2 : 1 Full time employee (60hrs/Week) Total number of Hours/...

Hi Everyone, First of all, I am sorry if I have created a topic which already existed. Please direct me to the topic if my query is raised by someone. Here is my query. Based on the new tier 1 Case work guidance, "If an applicant holds leave as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) and their business has been dis...

Thanks Marcnath. May I know who would be able to advise on this matter accurately? Unfortunately, not many. The immigration rules and guidance documents do not specify this. Normally that means you have the ability to argue it to your advantage. You can try going to an established solicitor - they ...

Thanks Marcnath.

May I know who would be able to advise on this matter accurately?

Hi Marcnath,

Thanks for the prompt reply. If that is the case, how about the franchisee fee? is it considered an investment as it is not going to the owner as well.

Hi all, I have been following this forum for a long time and it is great to see everyone sharing their experiences and honest opinion to help each other. Likewise, I hope someone would be able to advise on my query please. I am T1 (Entrepreneur) £50K route. I wanted to know what is considered as an ...
