Congratulations!

That was super quick!

Were you interviewed before your initial application was approved?
Also, was your business in profit?

Thank you all for congratulations.

How much of your 200k did you really invest? How many employees did you show?
Asking since your business address was your home address. I have some similar situation as yours, so looking for some real guidance.

Points were claimed on 3 employees and in total I have 6 employees. During initial leave I hired 9 employees out of which 3 ppl left working. Even I submitted their files along with P45s for them.

@needo - what was the hourly pay for your employees ?
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.

Hi Marcnath and all Senior Members.

Could you please advise what to do and plan it right for the ILR after getting the T1 (Ent) Extension.
DO I need to do anything extra or keep the same employees and the same documents?

So higher than minimum wage for all ?
I see many applicants are exactly at minimum wage and was wondering if those who pay more are the ones that get faster processing. So far seems to hold up for a few cases I looked at
