Irish passport control will check if you have a visa for Ireland, they don't bother with UK Tier 1 etc, they may take a cursory look at BRP, but that too is unlikely. There is no border control between Ireland and UK when travelling by road, so you don't need to do anything after reaching Northern I...

Its easy to apply for visa as LTD company too. You can earn around 5% more as LTD company, but there is no hard number for comparison purposes due to the many variables involved.

1. it is not mandatory. but if you do so you make a favourable impression which can help in getting same day decision.
2. my 2nd extension with Ltd company income only was approved same day. salaried income with a small amount as Ltd company to make the points is scrutinized the most.

Yes, I left payment section blank

1. Yes
2. New leave will start from date of approval

only for letting companies. so include the rent income if you deal in real estate

1. Letter from employer not compulsory.
2. Will be fine since your LTD company earnings are not being claimed as previous earnings.

Rest looks good and sufficient.

Yes.
Many banks don't stamp statement printouts. Find out from your bank if you can get a statement in official stationary by visiting a branch. Then you won't need it stamped.

1. Yes.
2. Yes. Guidance note - "The most recent statement must be dated no more than 31 days before the date of application."
3. Yes.

btw, the answers are all there in the guidance notes.

Hi Guys...couple of questions about Tier 1 General form : I paid the visa fees in full when booking PEO appointment - can I leave Section 1(payment details) blank ? What should the Job Title be for an IT Contractor working out of his fully owned LTD company ? Director or the role specified in the cl...

Thanks guys for the good news!

Dear All

I paid £1920 in March when booking Tier1 PEO appointment for late April. Will the new increased fees be applicable to me and the difference taken in PEO ?

Thanks

I'm guessing its the new Genuine Earnings Test that comes into play, so case workers ask for invoices to check for genuineness more than anything else.

because not all case workers are made alike. at least one post talks about being asked for invoices even though he/she was on salary+dividend :

Thanks. Going through some other posts on this topic, seems like a good idea to leave out invoice summary and just carry invoices to PEO and present them if asked.

Hi, I am an IT contractor operating out of my own limited company, fully owned by me. My invoices are paid by client a month or more later than the month for which the invoice is generated. Now for Tier 1 extension, which invoices should I include in the invoice summary ? Those that were generated f...

Your 3 year extension is correct as per rules. Don't do anything. Search this forum for others who contacted Home office to be told 3 years if fine.

couple of people in this forum had their period revised to 3 years after pointing out the error to ukba. try searching for their posts. good luck.

You should have received three years this time

Congrats applyforILR!

Can you please post your first visa stamping date from which date you calculated 11-Dec to be the 28th day ?

If you have been paying yourself salary/dividend from your limited company during the period you did not have a contract then you are not unemployed, you are economically active.

Thats my understanding, lets see what others have to say.

there shouldn't be any problems at the airport, search the forum and you will find instances of people who visited couple of days before visa expiry, only to renew their visa and leave. if some of the rumours in this forum are to be believed, immigration officials can be rude/intimidating. you simpl...

this is standard audit of employers, to check if they are employing legitimate immigrants or not. My agency had similar HO audit once.

Under current rules you should be able to get an extension and it will be for 3 years. You can also combine your Indian and UK earnings to claim points for previous earnings if needed. There will be no uplift ratio applied to your Indian earnings, just simple conversion from INR to GBP.

most likely your letter will be ignored by PEO. Nothing to worry.
If applying by post, mention in your cover letter what happened.
