I am guessing this means you can't be HIRED as professional sportsperson. So what if you ARE a pro. sportsperson such as Pro Golfer who is not hired by anyone but plays it professionally (for prize money in competitions)?

Thank you

You mention Tier 1 Ent. Check latest Policy Guidance point 165: "You must check that you have passed an English language test that is still within its validity period, and have achieved or exceeded level B1 of the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework for Language learning in all four c...

I did submitted the birth certificates as well as marriage certificate and had mentioned in my forms that my dependents will travel with me but i only applied for my self. One more thing you should keep in mind that a company limited by shares has a limited liability to the extent of shares issued,...

Many Thanks for your reply. I tried sending home office emails but no replies. I actually even contacted their home office paid service phone number but after spending £20, they were not able to provide the information. Bunch of cr*** My confusion is for the exam "ESOL skills for life Entry 3&...

2- Yes you can apply for main applicant only, if you mention in your application that dependents are travelling with you then you should have sufficient funds for maintenance. 3- The visa is issued for 3 years and 4 months, if your entry in UK is after 4 months then your visa will expire before you...

1) Instead of writing in paragraph, make a list of it and make it more presentable for people to answer your query. If information is jumbled up, not many people would even bother reading it. Kindly make a list (one by one) of documents which you have already prepared. 2) You cannot say in applicat...

Wild guesses now accepted

Bump...

Anyone?

Will be great if someone can answer some or all of the following: 1 - Documents required (applying for myself first but family members are listed in dependents traveling with) are only Funds proof (amount, regulated, disposable), Original passports (the past 10 years), English proof, Maintenance pro...

Of course these are not Tier 1, but you get really a reasonable idea: Check this: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ukba+border+force+2013 Then this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROF-RNCqo1Q Then this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwQhE2xcaJw Then all of the UK Border Force episodes Ge...

In fact, i think the best thing is to apply alone (but still mention the dependent traveling with the me) in the main application, but do not apply for them yet. Get the process over and approved, only pay for myself, just in case there is a problem or refusal for any reason then the others are not ...

each dependent need a separate form, and for someone else , wife/spouse will covered under entrepreneur partner and children as entrepreneur child Thank you. So i use "Apply for someone else" and choose Partner and child applications. Is there a reference number inside for the main applic...

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-rules-appendix-p Yeah, but there are only 8 countries in that list. I think this list to show which of these specific countries bank are Non accepted and which are accepted. I guess they faced some issues with some of these countries banks henc...

Thank you....

Guess now, i will see how hard it is to transfer the money into the UK and open a bank account for non-residence.

is it correct that each dependent needs their own seperate application submission along with the main applicant? assuming all are applying at the same time. Is it not enough to only mention all dependents in the main application? (in the section dependents traveling with you to the UK, as they do as...

Was reading more into the guideline, seems UKBA 'should' accept just a standard statement from the bank if the bank and money in the UK. This means if someone managed to transfer the money to a bank in the UK (under their name of course), then a bank statement alone will be enough. Let me know if my...

Get it in writing, these things need legal confirmation... I 2nd that. Look at the policy guideline, Page 9, Point 36 & 39. You can give yourself salary as long as it does not counts from your original capital requirements. So i think you will have hard time during extension. Now if the busines...

So i been reading here that all banks refuse to provide the exact format required. It will be very helpful if any recent successful applicant (outside UK) explains the bank paperwork they provided. I checked with couple of banks and its the same thing. This is a standard in bank industry now, the ba...

Thank you for prompt reply. 1 - Yes, i meant after the approval and landing (i am applying from outside the UK) 2 - I think their guide is not really clear. They tell you we need you to show 200K (+ small maintenance) and you open and invest the money in a proper company. So if am moving myself + fa...

This is a great board, thanx for everyone's help. I am currently preparing all my documents to apply for Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) 200K route. I am planning to actually register a proper Ltd company with the entire 200K as the share capital and be put in the business bank account. I want to confirm that...
