Dear Team,

I have my ILR application from Tier 1 Entrepreneur route in 1 week time and I would appreciate if someone can help me with the following:

1. I am director of 2 businesses. In business 1 I had 2 post. 1 post lasted since 2014 till date, so I am claiming job creation for Pre-transition period for 24 months with 1 employee.

a) My question: Do my accountant or I have to mention the other 3 employees (from my business 1) I had for which I am not claiming points? (in accountant letter and in form)

b) My second business had 6 months of worth job created. However, I am not claiming points from this business at all do I have to mention about my second business in cover letter or accountant letter or in form?

2. Do I mention about the second business at all in my application?

3. Do I require to send any documents to prove genuiness of business such as business activities, customer receipts and contracts?

Appreciate your attentiona nd support.

Regards,
Soni

a) My question: Do my accountant or I have to mention the other 3 employees (from my business 1) I had for which I am not claiming points? (in accountant letter and in form) No, you only need an accountant letter if you joined or took over an existing business, otherwise not required

b) My second business had 6 months of worth job created. However, I am not claiming points from this business at all do I have to mention about my second business in cover letter or accountant letter or in form? As you are not relying on it no need

2. Do I mention about the second business at all in my application? not required. The form only asks about the business which you are claiming jobs for

3. Do I require to send any documents to prove genuiness of business such as business activities, customer receipts and contracts? There are no documents required to be sent. However, HO can ask for it if needed

Appreciate your attentiona nd support.

Regards,
Soni
Also, you have an existing thread, you should continue there.

yes you will need an accountant letter in this case. Read the accountant letter requirements in Tier 1 guidance what it needs to confirm. It only needs to confirm the employment you are claiming points for though. Page 32

You need a lot more documents than just the three mentioned. You have to apply online and then the system will divert you to the third party website sopra where you have to create an account and upload all your douments and book an appointment for biometrics.

Its advisable to take all hard copies with you. They dont check though. But incase there is any issue in the scanned copy and they need to scan again.

CT600 or CT603 or CT41G any one of them should be okay. New or old the guidance does not specify. You should be okay.

As I joined an existing business would appreciate if you can guide me what to include in Employee Payment record?

Additionally, do I send 24 months fps and payslip or documents since the employee started to prove I had the employee for continous period since 2014?

Soni

Hi sonirules.
Ignore my message. I read your post wrong.
When you say 24 months. Is that period since your initial 3 years or extension 2 years?

Because as I understood if you are counting extension period from 2014 your 2 yr extension should have completed in 2016 or 2017 max?

sorry for the confusion.

Additionally, do I send all months fps and payslip or documents since the employee started to prove I had the employee for continous period since 2014 or send fps and payslip since my extesion?

I am not 100% sure but P11 & P60 should cover employee payment records.
Zimba said same thing in this post
uk-tier-1-entrepreneur-visas/fps-rti-t2 ... l#p1321432

I am in same situation as you are.
With regards to documents I am also confused if we are supposed to submit job creation details for extension period or all 5 years.

I think since extension was granted on basis that job creation for initial period was satisfied so I would think we just need to supply documents for extension period.

Please wait for someone else to confirm this.

You can only claim job creation AFTER extension for ILR. The evidence needed will only be after extension to cover the whole period of CLAIM NOT the whole period since employee start date.

What if the extension visa starts 6 months after initial visa expiry?
For example: My initial visa expired on 12/09/2016 but my extension visa granted on 20/03/2017
So should we supply documents from 12/09/2016 or 20/03/2017?

Sorry for asking my question here.

The waiting period has no relevance to the case. You can only claim employment AFTER extension. Evidence will be after 20/3/2017 in above case and needs 104 weeks or 24 months of employment after 20/3/2017.

The waiting period will only come to benefit if your ILR date is within 12 months of extension date. In that case you can claim for employment immediately 12 months before the date of ILR.

Please continue in your own thread as it gets confusing for the OP.
