Will 28 Period starts again or ? Ans: If AR uphold the initial refusal decision, then Home Office will issue you with a new re...
@ grreg, to answer few of your question; Considering my previous visa expired on 13-Jun I am unsure whether it is actually worth submitting a new extension application if the application date has been recorded as 17-Jun. Surely that would mean I am unable to re-apply. Do you know the answer to this?...
Just heard that my Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa extension has been refused. The reason was the bank statement showing maintenance funds was more than 31 days from the date of application. Bank statement end date 14-May-2015 Application was sent from post office (via Parcel Force) on 13-Jun-2015 Appli...
@ Kaps84, construction services is allowed under the Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa as long as you don't take part in the buying and selling of the building for the sole purpose of making profit from its sales thereafter. Meanwhile your construction service should be clearly specified in your invoices. Th...
@ nasiaziz, you stated as follows; and its common sense that you would only employ new staff only and only if your business is generating revenue Where did you get the idea that businesses only employ new staff only if they are generating revenue, have you not heard about long term investment, where...
@ Sonia..., from UKBA point of view, all the 3 opinions are valid and correct. Its left to you to choose which option you want to follow. You should also be aware that there is no 1 size fit all in business terminology, there are varied professional views on investment and UKBA cannot give a single ...
@Olasunkanmi, My question was about the date of entering the route, Is it 11 March 2015 (date of issue of my visa) or 12 April 2015 (date of entering the UK)? @ jafersadeq, I have answered in my previous post that the date you enter UK doesn't have anything to do with the employment issue. Your vis...
@ bizz123, if you can defend all the refusal point, then go for JR and get an experienced barrister to represent you.
In regard to submitting a 3rd application, it will be an automatic refusal as you would have over-stayed for more than 28 days since your last appeal was dismissed.
@ jafersadeq, why don't you get the service of an qualified accountant/business adviser as you seem to be lost in what to do with your entrepreneur visa.
@ jafersadeq, firstly you can open as many business account as your business requires, its your choice. Secondly if your business is genuine and actively trading without any unusual/illegal transactions it will be unreasonable for a bank to close that account. You should ask your friend to tell you ...
@ jafersadeq, you are missing something here, the rule states as follows; Policy Guidance version 04/2015 - Page 29 of 74 Transitional arrangement – people who successfully applied to enter the route before 6 April 2014 may continue to employ: a single worker for 24 months; or one worker for 6 month...
@ Ali7602, Businesses don't just grow in a day, they need investment to grow over time. Part of the investment for growing a business is staff salary. So to answer your question, staff salary are accepted as part of your 50k investment. The only salary that is not accepted for Tier 1 entrepreneur vi...
@ BharathRao, if you decide to switch to Tier 1 Enter visa within UK, it will be advisable to submit your dependants applications (most especially your spouse) together with yours because once your visa is appoved, your dependants previous visa (Tier 2 ICT dependant visa) automatically cancelled and...
@ tangy67, the letter your solicitor received from HO is probably a standard letter which was just sent out due to your solicitor asking for update on your case. Since you stated that you won your appeal, you just need to be patience for your visa to be issued. As long as HO did not challenge your a...
@ atariq5, are you sure you can submit a third application? Who adviced you to submit a third application.
I think the only option you have is to go for JR if your refusal reasons in the second application can be defended in front of a judge.
What if I employ one person for 4 months and the other for 20 months, will this qualify for extension? As in the guidance they say that under transitional arrangement it is acceptable to employ 1 person for 24 months or 1 for 18 month and the other for 6 month. @ Dasistfact, yes you can do that. Ch...
@ YouKTier, you should be fine as you have employed 2 full-time worker for 1year each as stated in your post regardless of the fact that the second job was a combination of 2 other full-time workers who both work for combined 12months .
@ sabih786, it might be a good idea to hire an experienced barrister who will be able to argue your case, but also be prepared for lots of questions from the judge and the Home Office Presenting Officers who could decide to ask even questions that are not in the initial refusal. (1) If you have subm...
@ malik10, obviously yes. This is part of the condition for Tier 1 entrepreneur visa and it applies to everyone on the visa who want to either apply for extension or are applying for settlement.
'' The applicant has spent the specified continuous period lawfully in the UK, with absences from the UK of no more than 180 days in any 12 calendar months during that period.''
So you have to be in UK for at least 6months and 5days every year before you can qualify for ILR.
@ sajjuz congratulations. There are lots of unnecessary documents in your list but it doesn't matter as caseworkers would have put them aside when treating your application with the most important documents.
@ reyan, its better you call Home Office directly and talk to the customer service department to find out your status, its likely that they might have sent out the 60days letter to another address or maybe they haven't send it out. Calling them will be easier as they will be able to tell you your st...
for people that applied pre april, can we employ 2 people in the last 12 months prior to when we apply for the extension? Check Tier 1(Entrepreneur) Policy Guidance version 04/2015 - Page 29 of 74 Transitional arrangement – people who successfully applied to enter the route before 6 April 2014 may ...

There is no special or different legal minimum wage for London except that the government encourage employers to pay living wage of £9.15ph for workers in London and its not compulsory. You can pay London living wage to y...
