Hi Nadeem

I will upload the list of the documents tonight as it is a long list of all separate documents. I will ask all members to keep a good look at published guidance and provide all specified documents along with application. Case worker will definitely have a positive view if he/she can see a well planned & prepared Tier 1 entrepreneur application with all "relevant" information.

Even credibility documents are well defined within paragraphs so no need to enhance the number of documents which have no real value.

Hi

If it is your very first extension application under tier 1 entrepreneur route then the answer is "No none of the funds were shown in the previous application"

They are talking about " investment funds " while in initial application you have showed "available funds" You need to tick at " No....." and then have to go at K6 and further need to fill table 3b1 which is essential.

Hi,
Section is self explanatory, K3 explains the question as "Have you invested no less than £200,000 (or £50,000 if, in your last grant of leave,you were awarded points for funds of £50,000) in cash directly into one or more businesses in the UK over the period of the initial grant of leave......"

It should be "NO" as table 3b1 can not be skipped. Table 3b1 need to be filled in order to show direct cash investment in UK business.
