@ ishfaqsangra, development of property (real estate) owned by an individual or a business is different from a commercial mortgage specifically taken for the purpose of using as your business premises. Example, you can decide to buy a property say for £30,000 and then use the remaining £20,000 to bu...
@ Expatinlaw, your analysis seem more like a contractor working at the clients premises and paid daily/weekly rate. If yes then my opinion is for you to consult an experienced lawyer who will be able to help with your case. From the recent changes by HO, it seem that contracting is not acceptable un...
@ stev.bris1, your question is not very clear. What exactly is your goal to pursue the JR because you have stated that you already got your Tier 1 entrepreneur visa. But you didn't say anything about your team member's case. Did your team member submitted a JR as well? If yes what happen? Did your t...
@ ayuen, if you employ your wife in your business then her salary does count towards business expenses which can be use as part of the investment funds but employing your wife on her own wont count as employing settled people unless if your wife is settled on her own right. If your wife is not settl...
@ pakhtoon77, you don't need to show any progress on your business at all. Just submit documents required for ILR and you should be fine. Your ILR application is base on long residency rule and doesn't have anything to do with your present Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa unless if there is any other negati...
@ HNJ, yes you can submit a fresh application now, but in my opinion its better for the appeal process to be on-going and for you to withdraw it yourself before submitting fresh application. The reason why i suggest this is because HO do make silly mistakes with appeal completion date sometimes and ...
@ fawwi786, you are allowed to send in PAP letter for JR 90days after refusal letter so you should relax and wait for HO response. But you should be prepare for a long battle as HO might not respond for the next 2-3months and your solicitor should be on standby to follow it up. The whole JR process ...
@ cancerian, my advice is that you stick with the same contract format that you got rejected on and fight it out at the tribunal. It might be a good idea to get a good barrister to represent you. You can use this case (link below) as reference to your case as its almost the same refusal reason and t...
@ fawwi786, your best option now is to pursue a JR of your case. Submitting another application will attract an outright refusal since HO has already deem you as an over-stayer. Don't rely only on letter to HO as they usually ignore such letters and that might be damaging to your case if you don't p...
But what if your business didn't need the entire 50,000, and a small amount is left in the business account. Do you have to spend it for the sake of extension?! @ whiteroses, the rule of the visa is that the whole £50,000 should be spent in your business, no excuse at all if you cant spend it all.
@ ishfaqsangra, to be frank, the annual fee of £650 is a very good bargain as most accountant charge on average of £1000 for company annual accounts which they usually file during the accounting end period. Filling an annual return is not a complex task for you to do. Your accountant can only advice...
@ whiteroses, the money must be spent and not left in d business as cash or even loan/shares. Check; Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Policy Guidance version 08/2014 Page 46 of 59 ''Money should be fully used in the business and not held in the business bank account in order to qualify for the award of points'...
@ HNJ, you can withdraw your appeal and then send in an application for partner of a British citizen. But it might be better to wait for the decision of FTT for permission to apply to UT before sending your spousal visa application.
@ balaaal, why did you not appeal the Entrepreneur visa refusal in July 2014 instead of applying again for FLR(O) which you knew will likely be an outright refusal again. You could have easily appeal instead of complicating your case with multiple application which HO might interpret to mean that yo...
@ Sha123, your wife's case seem to be a mistake by the HO. But the work permit which is on your 1 year old baby BRP is a standard mistake which HO have always put on children BRP if the main applicant has got a work permit. Why don't you call HO directly and ask why they didn't give your wife right ...
@ naveednikka, ILR holders are classed as settled people and therefore meet the requirement to be your employee. Try to read the Policy guidance thoroughly where you will see the list of all that you can employ.
@ hammad ahmad, your case should also be a straightforward win at the Upper Tribunal if Home Office doesn't come up with other points during the course of the appeal. Just make sure you are following the rules of active trading to show that you are indeed a genuine entrepreneur.
@ johndoe789, my advice is that you should stick with your appeal to the end as some have advice you. If you are really genuine, then you will eventually get the deception allegation quash by a judge after which you can then apply for your ILR. Don't rush applying for ILR now even if your lawyer thi...
@ Cathie, did the judge make any comment on your Tier 1 application in the decision apart from allowing your appeal on human right ground? And how long have you been in UK?
@ naveencandy8, you need to VARY your existing second Tier1 application to Tier2 application. It doesn't matter waiting for the decision if you have already decide to switch to Tier2.
@ naveencandy8, if you have decided to apply for Tier2 visa, then simply fill the Tier2 application form and send it to HO with a covering letter asking that you want to VARY your existing Tier1 application to Tier2 application.
