I’m totally agreed with you but if you have no immigration status in this country then how can you run your business . At the moment we are looking both our business and immigration status as well we have spent enough money and our precious time in our business . Unless you have to travel for busin...

You are giving some very bad advice Also, You are waiting for long time decision that's a reason you couldn't find a new contract or project because of your visa status That would be an outright lie Note: you did not get refusal before application reason like FPS RTI issues. S/he got for a much scar...

Just a point here. Interestingly, the CW has been given the right, based on genuineness test, not to award points even if all the evidence for an attribute has been provided. Pg 29 of the guidance has the following: Please Note: If we are not satisfied you have met the test in relation to a points-...

Many thanks for the prompt response.its clear now I’ll keep my two employees till that time . If you are interviewed (which seems to be the case often now, especially when just keeping the minima) and mention that you are keeping employees for immigration purposes (not for building a viable busines...

You have lost the "right" to use 24 months one employee (again it is law schools nitty gritty)

Marcnath is technically correct. But there is a wrinkle in the guidlines (not atypical with UKVI) On the one hand you have transitional rights that include speciffcally one employee 24 months and on other hand the right to retroactively use employment even before current leave period, though for 12 ...

Thank u very much for your valuable advice. I got my extension without any interview and I invested more thn £300,000 instead of £200,000.there was 5 worker was working with me but 2 left from last month now only 3 workers working with me now but one part time worker leaving from this month but my ...

Hi Members, Could someone please guide me regarding ILR requirements? I got my T1 (Ent.) visa on 22nd Feb 2014. In Feb 2017 i applied for extension and granted extension in Feb 2018. (Extension is till Feb 2020). I have one British employee working full time for me continuously from 1st May 2014. S...

1. I don't understand the 50K route. All these cases where T1es invested themselves, wern't they supposed to have been invested by a "VC" or DIT funding competition? Shouldn't they be more "advanced" business e.g. tech vs restaurant? (I think the concept of of 50K for is actually wonderful for the ...

Still not enough information to give some ideas. Broadly speaking, if you had a substantially good business running before - more than the minimum employees needed, an offices good revenue, were doing marketing and so on, then you have a strong argument - you can try and argue that the compliance o...

By Home Office.

They suspected him for dodgy accounting i guess

HO does not raid accountants for dodgy accounting if not (suspect) immigration connected. HMRC would do that...

You WILL have to disassociate yourself from his suspected practices

"The accountant is saying that HO got some complaints about him, and HO suspected that he is creating bad quality jobs." sorry don't understand this. Accountants and any other business are allowed to create bad quality jobs. Clearly there is an immigration connection to this accountant, pls explain....

@Seasky & @marcnath: Below is the exact detail of refusal points: 1. Premises:- You stated that you were working from home.which is family member's address but you were unable to produce any evidence of an agreement to work from that address. 2. Clients:- Also, you stated that you had 4 current cli...

Money invested by an investor cannot be used to claim points as YOUR INVESTEMENT. It can be either shares or director loan - but both of them must be in your name, not your investors This is not how it worked for me, I did not invest my own money (except a huge amount of sweat equity). Angel and VC...

You really are going to have to share much more detail if you want a response that can actually help you. Especially share your actual job creation "Compliance office asked me about running business from home" do you mean interviewer? What do you mean points for business continuity? there is no such...

I personally would contact the HO helpline. Hopefully it is great news, but if not you don't want anytime wasted on preparing for a response (AR, reapplication etc)

That means your t1e submission needs to be full amd complete....

You are better off delaying ILR application to 16.7.2019 delaying biometrics as much as possible then varying ro LR 28 days before 4.9.2019. But keep running business genuinely one cannot know what HO (secret internal) policy on t1e will be then. We have seen cases of LRs having issues because of th...

Yes, the accountant was raided by Home Office and NOT by HMRC. Only OP can can confirm why he was raided by HO.

As you know of this Birmingham raid (which may or may not be same accountant as OP) do you know prima facie why was raided? Does this firm specialize in immigration matters?

Was your accountant located in Birmingham? I know an Accountant who had his office raided in Birmingham (B*2 postcode area-don't want to give his postcode on forum hence put * mark in post code) by Home Office? Same question as I asked OP. Raided by HO not HMRC? (I googled HO raid accountant found ...

For clarification Home Office raided accountant not HMRC or other financial related body?

Hi seasky Just wondering if you know anybody gone through Genuine Entrepreneur test / interview at ILR stage as yet because I thought only it is happening at Extension state?
