Job Creation for ILR for Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa

[agnesmary]

Hi fellow members,

Am having slight difficulty figuring out how to fill the Job Creation page in the SET(O) Form, page 42.

I have 3 employees - 2 employees in Marketing, the other an Admin Assistant.

Does that mean I have to fill in 3 job creation tables or 2 job creation tables by combining both marketing employees in 1 table and the admin in another table?

[zimba]

A table per POSITION in your company

[agnesmary]

Thank you Zimba for your reply.

Is the Start Date in Job the same as the start date in FPS, assuming there's no change in employee's position within the company?

[zimba]

Yes

[agnesmary]

My most recent extension of leave commenced on 15th December 2015.
Employee start date on FPS is 1st May 2015 and leave date is 30th April 2016.

Is the Start Date in Job calculated from the most recent leave extension or the start date on FPS?

[zimba]

Only the hours worked during extension will be counted towards ILR

[agnesmary]

When filling up the Job Creation Table in the SET(O) form, the start and end date in job should be the period I'm claiming employment points for during my most recent leave of extension, right?

[zimba]

Yes ideally. The date on the table is the date the position was created and the dates in the table are the periods you are claiming

[agnesmary]

Noted. Thank you for the clarification, Zimba.

Is the term "Biometric Reference Number" the same as "Biometric Permit Number"?

Question 7.13 (Immigration History Section, page 26) : How long have you lived in the UK?
Does this apply to the previous (3 years) and recent (2 years) leave extension OR must I also include the years I lived & studied in the UK years ago?

[CR001]

OR must I also include the years I lived & studied in the UK years ago

[agnesmary]

Appreciate your speedy response, CR001.

So the answer to my enquiry will be = 3 years + 2 years + XX years lived and studied in the UK.

Yes or you can state the time on T1E if applying based on 5 years residence and add a note in the 'Additional Information' page to say your previous time.

Correct.

I'm trying to locate the 'Additional Information' page in the SET(O) form but I could not find it
Can you please let me know the page number? Thank you.

[CR001]

Hate it when that happens lol.

You could add a brief letter.

I know what you mean.. I don't know what I'll do without the kind assistance from members of this forum. You have a lovely day

Enjoy the rest of your day too. Feel free to continue posting questions.

My interpretation of the dates and what I have used myself is:

Date Post Created = The date an employer hired the first employee in that position
Start Date with Your Business (if this differs from start date in job) = Must be the same start date listed on the employee's FPS.
Start Date in Job = Same as Start Date with your business unless the employee has changed role - say from Admin manager to Sales Manager, in which case it will be different from the Start Date with business.

That is the literal interpretation of the language.

In fact, "(if this differs from start date in job)" seems to imply you can leave this column blank if it is the same as the Start Date in Job.

PS: you seem to be unable to receive PM - either not allowed or your setting is wrong. But this is a valid public discussion topic anyway.

[agnesmary]

Thank you for your reply, Marcnath

I've got Employee A which was employed during my last leave extension and worked for 3 months during the most recent leave extension. No changes in position role.

Is his Start Date in Job the date he commenced work during the last leave extension OR recent leave extension? I'm stuck. And utterly confused. As always

I used the Start Date in job as when my employee actually started (it was in the original grant period). Honestly, I don't think that will be thing that CW is going to base the decision on. They will use the evidence document and the Table is more of a reference.
Just don't forget to include the FPS from the original start month in addition to the three FPS for the extension period.

[agnesmary]

Points noted. Thanks again Marcnath.

Am hoping this will be a seamless application process

Hi, I have a similar situation. I first entered the UK on a student visa in 2004 and left in 2007. Then came back in 2009 again on a student visa, changed to PSW in 2011 and then eventually to Tier 1 Entrepreneur in 2013.

So, as you suggested to agnesmary, I'll be doing 3+2 years (Tier 1 ent) + previous time spent on student visa/psw to answer "7.13 How long have you lived in the UK?". I made a few family visits (each visit was about 3-4 weeks) throughout my time in the UK. So, while doing my calculations, should I be deducting this time from the total?

Many thanks in advance
