Hi All,

Quick question please. My company has recentle secured an compliance contract with an outsourcing company. I have an office in city centre and we provide the remedial checks and audit services. My question is when you google that company it says specialist in outsourcing recruitment. However, I had an contract with 2 of these and also my usual customers. Anything to worry about this? As going for ILR from Tier 1 entrepreneur Visa. I also have another business bank account but the activity on that bank is not alot just for the management expenses and stuff. Will that be any problem for me as I am going to give them 1 month bank statement along with the bank letter.

Kind Regards.

Not really. I wouldn’t presume that they would audit the customers. If you are really concerned that it may be misconstrued than submit an old bank statement that doesn’t contain their info.
If you read the guidance.. it gives a clear choice the sort of documents from bank is required.
It alludes to business activity.. but ur also confirming business activity via CT600.
The bank letter should suffice..

Thanks Aman.

You mean just a bank letter. No business bank statements. I have seen ppl giving bank statements. All of the ppl I know have submitted bank statements. Is there mentioned anywhere to provide bank statements as dont want to risk my application.

Thanks.

Yes. I can't speak for anyone else. I was granted ILR under the same without any Bank statement.
Again if you read the guidance- it gives option of either submitting a bank statement OR confirmation letter of business account on bank letterhead under Specified documents for business activity.

At your time bank statement was not mandatory. Many members were approved without one. Now yes as correctly mentioned; either 1 month bank statement or bank letter.

Aug 18. Banks have their own language.
I emailed the specific guidance note pertaining to contents of the bank letter at the time of EXT to the relationship manager.
I’ll have to look for the letter but it basically was written to me stating my business address.. confirming the day the account was opened, the balance amount and that I’m the sole signatory. It was signed dated and stamped.
Had the same letter printed out at the time at ILR.
This time though it wasn’t stamped, only signed and obviously a fresh date.

As far as I know the older guidance versions did not have this requirement. It was added later on.

Yes mandatory.

Bank Letter OR 1 month business bank statement. Banks usually know how to issue a letter of account. Usually it has your account details and business details and the date the account was open and mention that your a signatory on the account etc.

Thank you.

I have managed to get the letter but that was a mission in its own. They were giving me letter saying we never issued one. After long argument the lady typed on word. It is on natwest letter head but doesnt look professional at all. It just says my name. My business details, closing balance.

I also want share a good news here my mate applied ILR 200k and got his ILR in a month. 🙏😊

Yes, start another topic in the British citizenship sub forum as these questions are a) not relevant to YOU and b) not relevant at all in this sub forum!!!

Even better, ask your friend to register on the forum and ask their own questions.

Urgent Query.

Hi Gurus,

I am submitting my application for ILR from tier 1 entrepreneur.
My initial entrepreneur was granted 23/04/2014.

I have 1 full time employee who has done 12 months after extension over 30 hours

For 2nd Job I am combining 2 part time employees both over 15 hours and over 12 months and still working for me.

1)My question is do I fall under the transitional arrangement?

2) one of my employee has done 12 month but taken 2 weeks holiday. The hours will still be counted or not? Dont want to risk this so wanted to be sure.

Thanks!!!

Perhaps you should read the forum rule on Multiple Topics as you seem to not be clear on keeping all your questions on the same application in ONE thread. Please desist from starting a new topic with each question you have.

Why didn’t you apply for ILR late March 19

I have 1 full time employee who has done 12 months after extension over 30 hours

For 2nd Job I am combining 2 part time employees both over 15 hours and over 12 months and still working for me.

You fulfil job creation requirement

1)My question is do I fall under the transitional arrangement?

😂.. Did you even read the latest guidance? Ended March 29.

2) one of my employee has done 12 month but taken 2 weeks holiday. The hours will still be counted or not? Dont want to risk this so wanted to be sure.

Was the employee paid for those two weeks? Employees do have the right to holiday pay.

Hi Aman,

Thanks for the update.

Yes the employee was paid and on payslip it says 36 hours in the hour section as holiday and than it is been counted in the overall hours for this employee. Wanted to be sure as dont want to risk this.

Wanted to be sure about transitional arrangement.
I was clear but wanted to be sure.

So the employee was paid for holidays and this can be counted towards overall hours?


Thank you!

Re: Urgent Query.

Yes it’s fine. A payslip need not contain such info e.g total number of hours or wage rate
As long as the total salary divided by wage rate is equivalent to 130hrs.. ur good to go.

Cohabitation Documents and Business Activity

Hi Zimba, Marcnath, Cr001, Tier1147 and all seniors,

I am submitting my ILR application on basis of Tier 1 ent (50k). I have couple of question listed below:

1) Cohabitation documents - I am attaching D/L, Council bill from 2019 on joint names, Utility bill on wife name, credit card statements, HMRC letter of wife, Personal bank statements of both. My question is do I need to submit Utility bills for 24 months? sorry might be a daft question but I know you will understand.

2) Bank Letter and Bank statements - I am attaching bank letter confirming I am sole signatory and 1 month of business bank statements. my concern is as I am 50k route only rent payments and couple of contrart payments coming into account 5K, 500, 350 like these and no wages as I currently have two part time employees and both get paid in cash. Business insurance and everything is visible in the statement. Do I have to attach both or bank letter will suffice. The bank statement can have positive and negative impact.

3) The directors roles and responsibility. I have read this somewhere on this forum but this is something not mentioned by my solicitor. Do I need to add the paragraph in the cover letter regarding this.

I appreciate I have asked the question regarding Bank letter previously but wanted to tell you about the reason y I am hesitant to not provide HO with the bank statements. I have contract with big company to Audit there work and I do it from my office.

God Bless!

Many Thanks,

Emi
