And have also added a front page on each file regarding document included in the in the Row-1 and so on. Hope so it is good practice. I am uploading documents as follows:

2) Residence in the UK: Current BRP

And have also added a front page on each file regarding document included in the in the Row-1 and so on. Hope so it is good practice. I am uploading documents as follows: What do you mean by Row 1 Row 2?? I would suggest you name the files according to their original names

1) Proof of Application: Application Form, Consent Form Decleration, Document Checklist got it after submitting online application, cover letter including business overview (part-c of new policy guidance under Business Activity) and Current Passport.
Proof of application only asks for your current passport and consent form. You can add cover letter in “others”. The form and checklist is not required as its only for your own records

2) Residence in the UK: Current BRP

3) Proof of Business: Employees IDs, Job-1 and Job-2 employees payslips, employee contracts with job descripion, p45, p60, RTI-FPS, employer's payment summary, employee pay detailsRTI FPS, employee IDs and an A4 sheet simply mentioning employee job description. All rest is optional

4) Proof of Identity / Travel History: Both old passports with old BRPs. In five years i have been just out for 1.5 months from uk. Already indicated in the application form. Do i need to include any sheet or etc here? Only old passports needed. Old brps not required. And no reasons required for absences

5) Educational: MBA Degree/Transcript and Life in the uk test pass certificate.

6) Others:
->2017-18 and 2018-19 Accounts with accountant report inside

->CT603
->Companies house welcome letter
->Business banking welcome letter
->Company Incorporation Certificate
->Company Insurance Certificate for Public and Employers Liability for 2017-18 and 2018-19
->Pension deceleration and letters.

Only CT600 and CT603 is needed. All rest is optional not required. I would suggest you upload that in the business category

i believe all in others should go into proof of business as well. suggestion plz.

7) Finances: i think for maintenance funds and i have available...but not required for ilr.

You need 1 month business bank statement or bank letter (NOT the welcome letter) that is mandatory

[Mak9878]

Thanks Tier1147 for your quick response.

Row-1 (investment), Row-2 (business activity) ,Row-3 (Job creation) and Row-4 (continuous lawful stay in uk for 5 years) are mention in the first column of Table F (settlement application points table) on page 32-33 of policy guidance. Previously they used to call these ROWS as Sections.

But anyways, its better to upload as you said.

But one question to show "Row-4 Continuous period of 5 years lawful stay in uk", what document prove that? i.e. passport and brp.

Thanks

Its up to you however you want to upload/name. That was just a suggestion as Rows is confusing.

Passport and stamps are enough for continuous residency. Upload full passports including all stamps and blank pages for the 5 year qualifying period (suggestion again).

[bizman]

I think your documents are ok the way you have arranged it. It is easily identifiable, however don’t forget to get a bank statement, one month at least or a letter from your bank. Also you didn’t include a CAR and filing history. This is very important.

Thanks for mentioning that. This is what happens when you send bunch of unnecessary documents and forget the most important ones. CAR and business bank statement which can cause a direct refusal.

[Mak9878]

Thanks Tier1147 and Bizman,

CAR and Bank statement is already included, but forgot to mention in post.

Thanks for reminding.

I have appointment on 27-04-19 and how early can i upload. Is it 3-4 days before appointment to appear on Steria Sopra system?

You can upload anytime before the appointment. If you want to pay for the £35 document checking service (which is of no use), only then you have to upload at least 48 hours before.

[bizman]

Upload immediately

[CULLINAN]

Upload immediately

Why immediately?

[bizman]

If he wants, he has time till his appointment, just saying

[Mak9878]

I have arranged the things in order, will submit final checklist here and upload today or tomorrow.

Thanks

Hi Tier1147, Aman90, Marcnath and Zimba.

Hope you all are well.

One urgent issue. In my Current appointment report (CAR) printed from Webcheck service of companies house. it is showing number of appointment:2 for me.

I am only director for this company at the moment

I had another company opened in late 2017, which did not go well so i resign in mid of 2018 as director from that company and my friend is managing that company as sole director now.

But if i go to companies house beta website and print current appointment page then it shows only 1 appointment.

is this gonna be negative impact on application because CAR showing 2 appointments?

Shall I just print into pdf, current appointment page and filling history page from companies house beta website which reflects just 1 appointment?

Please suggest.

[aman90]

Not an issue.
On the beta page, ur resignation should be visible for ur previous company.
In any case this is not something you need to be concerned abt. You can be a director of more than one company at the same as well.
Ur application is going to be assessed on the company number and it’s jobs.

[bizman]

Aman90 is right. Don’t be bothered, it’s not a problem.

[CULLINAN]

My CAR has 4 pages:

Page 1) Companies house logo with date created stamp etc
Page 2) Company Register Information
Page 3) Current Appointments (It says at the end of the page, this report excludes resignations)
Page 4) Recent Filling History (It says at the end of the page this report excludes 88(2) Share Allotment documents)

I was told this is all what we need. As long as your CAR shows you the director for the company you are claiming points for you are good. I think CAR does not show resignations. Correct me it I am wrong?

Thanks

[bizman]

You are correct.

[CULLINAN]

You are correct.
