To clarify in the old rule you could have been in uk for a year. Leave january (or any day!) for 359 days and with careful planning of ILR application date (smack in the middle of that) you would be OK as that 359 days would be cut into 2 separate -non rolling- 12 months periods

Good day, I'd like to inquire about the changes to the way a 5 year continuous period of stay is considered. So what I understand is that it is no longer possible to cut 180 day absences in two 12 month periods, and that they will consider any 12 month period with absences. So does that mean that, ...

Thanks for the quick response guys. The employees who work for my business are long term friends so can do most of my work by speaking with them online. As far as I am aware there is no rule about not hiring your friends is there? With the type of business I have I cannot employ just any random per...

If they require documents for genuineness, they will ask you. In the current environment, I would not agree. Do not leave things to the imagination of CW. In covering letter you can say for genuineness test I have attached xxx xxxx . Don't over do it and make sure documents are separate from the re...

As an online business I see no issue at all with being virtual. I am sure you meet your team often. A brief explanation in covering letter is worthwhile.

Not giving them info it all "depends" . I am sure u explained in covering letter why you didn't have said info.

I do not think contacting MP is bad.

Got it. Many thanks. I do not think the employment activity during waiting time was wasted as my team achieved a lot of growth during the waiting period plus I had that interview during October so it was all worth it and part of running the business. I know u don't mean it. But saddens me that plen...

In short becaue you are pre APR 14 and as long as you ILR before APR 19 you need 24 months if employment (2 one year 4 half year etc) There is a potential wrinkle in the rules. If your ILR is declined (travel, character) and you have to reapply fir 2nd extension it will be after apr 19 and it would ...

Since you knew application was long due, why didn't solicitor ALREADY check application?

What if solicitor now says you need form xyz that may take a week or two to get??

You have a death not get visa wish

AR decision received and it has been rejected. In the front page of the decision letter, it has been given as 'If you have any reason to stay in the UK that you have not already told us about, you must tell us now or at the latest within 14 days of receiving this letter'. Under Enforcement notice -...

I am running a consultation firm. And provided all the necessary documents. I Got two offices. And i provided contracts for the both offices including the rent invoices. When i applied visa, there were two employees working for me at that time. It was matter of luck as one of my friend who was runn...

Thanks Marcnath for detail explanations. Much Appreiciated. Last question for you Marcnath: My refusal latter is dated on 25th March 2018. I believe that i have to count 14 days from the date when i received the latter on 28th March 2018. that means my last day will be 10th April 2018. Please corre...

I think you can reapply if AR is refused. That will get you to LR, but we have seen initial evidence that LR is not a magical "get out jail" card anymore and they do look at the your t1e period.

I don't know point 1 Points 2&3 seem to be administrative misunderstanding, exactly what AR is about. RTI/FPS are you sure, everything is there? the regulations have now changed and they are less onerous on FPS, so maybe if you did miss something then you can explain in the AR that now it would have...

congrats!

Rarer to not be interviewed these days.

Pls share details of your business (and why you think you were not interviewed). # of employees, level of salaries, type of business...

I believe if AR refused you can apply again for extension.

make sure you have maintenance in place.

Still If the entrepreneur has been granted the initial visa, and they - were genuinely doing a busine...

I don't know what statics MAC according to. Even international students contribute economy a lot during just stay in the UK (Google to find the news everywhere) but entrepreneurs with spending 50k/200k and compulsory hire two people, contribute little or nothing???. Let's assume this report is corr...
