MarkCa wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 7:31 pmI will soon be eligible to apply for ILR based on creating 10 jobs (accelerated route) in a company I started in the UK (new company). I passed life in the UK test and do not have English language requirement based on my UK diploma. I graduated in UK and was first granted tier 1 graduate entrepreneur visa, which I used to start my business. My business was up and running 6 months after I received graduate entrepreneur visa, so I switched to tier 1 entrepreneur visa 12 months after receiving original tier 1 graduate entrepreneur visa.
I would be grateful if someone could answer my following questions regarding my application for ILR:
1. Do I need to prove investment and business activity again after I proved it when I switched from graduate entrepreneur to entrepreneur visa? I will apply for ILR based on the same company and the same original investment. I believe that at that moment I needed to have investment of 50k to switch, which I fulfilled. Also, my investment at that moment was over 200k (in case this is the number used for ILR). Again, all the investment proven back then was made for LTD company that is now used for ILR application (same company).
Yes you will need to show proof of investment and business activity

2. If I don't have to show again that I made the financial investment in business, should I write something like: "Original company investment proof was provided during application for my existing tier 1 entrepreneur visa, and I would like to use the same documents that were accepted then for my current application"?
3. I have created 12 full time jobs. I read the guidance for job creation and I can confirm that all 12 jobs existed for at least 12 months during my existing visa. Also, all jobs existed at the same time (meaning all 12 employees were and are employed at the same time) which proves that these jobs are independent of each other. However, some of these jobs were created when I started my company, so effectively started during my graduate entrepreneur visa. Can I still use them, since they were created within the company and existed during my whole existing entrepreneur visa, but were created during my graduate entrepreneur visa? To be clear, when I started my company, I hired 8 people (in 2018). In 2019 (when I switched to tier 1 entrepreneur visa) I hired 4 more. Now I have 12 employees who worked for the company for more than 12 months during my last visa and that is enough to qualify my for job creation requirement?
Yes you can as long they existed for at least 12 months on your Tier 1 Ent leave.
4. Of these 12 jobs, one person has average of 30.3 hours worked per week. Other 11 people have 40 and more hours per week. Should I still count this person as full time (since full time is regarded as 30hours and more) or since I have 11 jobs that are significantly above 30 hours requirement, should I use them only? Alternatively, even if the officer says this job is too close to minimum limit and therefore doesn't qualify as 12th job, would that cause further problems in the application or not, assuming that first 11 jobs are fine?
Full-time is 30hr/week for 52 weeks. you need minimum 10 full time JOBS. It is up to you which jobs you rely on as all are FT in your case. You can rely on any 10. CW will go by the evidence you will provide.
5. If I miss anything during an application, or make some mistake, is there any chance that it might be rejected immediately or I will be contacted first and have a chance to change / support it?
Depends on CW
Thanks!
Proof of investment can be done at any stage and then not required to be proved after it was proved once. Documents for employee must be valid during employment period not afterCULLINAN wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 10:36 pmIt is entirely your choice how many jobs to provide. The requirement is 10 jobs. Additional documents do more harm than benefit. But maybe you can send evidence for 11 jobs. Good to send some extra but not too much.
You will need to prove evidence for investment and business activity. For people who are on then 5 year route have to prove at initial and extension stage only but not ILR. Since you are on the 3 year accelerated route, you will have to prove evidence for investment and business activity at initial and ILR stage.
Please Zimba or Marcnath correct me if I am wrong here.
Thank you! So just to confirm, the fact that I was successful in transition from tier 1 graduate entrepreneur to tier 1 entrepreneur automatically means that this criteria is fulfilled? Regardless of the fact that at that time I believe investment of 50,000gbp was needed? Also, I don't remember now, but was there any chance that I could have transitioned to tier 1 entrepreneur without proving the investment at that time?
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... -_v.25.pdfIf you are joining this route for the first time, and you have already made investments in the last 12
months that qualify under the rules for extension applications, then you may be able to use these
funds in support of your application (though you will be required to evidence these)
Great, thank you!
Thank you!

2) Not needed. However, you need to list employee job descriptions.
5) PDF is preferable.
