my visa was refused because I was claiming more than 130 hours per month. However, in my letter, home office clearly wrote that maximum hours they consider for 1 FT job are 130 hours per month. I think your refusal is not because you claimed more than 130 hrs a month. When home office saying "...

Thank you both for the replies - very helpful! On the point around job creation, I do understand that those additional 2 roles on top of the 2 roles the existing directors would have to create would have to be created as a result of the investment from myself (or myself and an associate as a team o...

Hi all, I am planning on applying for a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa via the route of investing £200k+ into an existing business. The business in question is a relatively new venture started by two directors who obtained a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa only a few months ago having applied as joint entrepren...

the immigration rules did not say you should highlight anything, but I know, in reality a lot of people did this, in order to make things easier for the caseworker, especially when your case is relatively complex and you need a cover letter as well.

Yes you can and it will not be weird. In fact the guidelines have some text to the effect that they understand entrepreneurs may change their business Thank you marcnath! That's great news for me! I shall read the guidance again. If anyone having similar experience (using a SECOND company to apply ...

Yes, you are free to change business or do additional companies freely Thanks for your prompt reply. I really need to consider this option, because when the initial 5 years management agreement ends, I don't intend to sign a SECOND 5 years (the term is 5 years), and when the FIRST 5 years ENDS, it ...

Dear Guru, A quick background: I applied for my Tier 1 Extension four months ago, still waiting for the outcome. If it is successful (I don't see reasons why not so far), I still want to set up a 2nd limited company to fully utilise the 200k fund, because the 1st company can't use all of them, and t...

Hourly rate on payslip: I agree with Marcnath. Still, there are some industries, showing hourly rates on payslips are more appropriate. Example, hospitality industry or care industry, you can't put a fixed hourly rate at the table (Annex F), because the number varies if they work irregular hours (di...

Hi fellow member, I am the silent member of the forum and find it very helpful for my visa application preparation. I have few confusion about the final submission. My visa expired on 9th of November 2017. My solicitor has said we will submit the application on the last day of the visa due to his b...

From Guidance - Public funds Council tax discounts, such as sole occupancy discounts, are not considered public funds for the purposes of the Immigration Rules. Zimba88 - you are super star! yes the guidance "public funds" Page 7 clearly stated what you quoted. I should have known this ea...

T1E extention I have bought a house in a rural area, and the local council said if I live alone in in the house, they I am eligible to have 25% discount on my council tax (it is "One Adult Deduction"). Then finally I had this 25% discount on council tax. My question is: Is this council tax...

According to my understanding of the guidance, I agree with Zimba88's reply as above.

Thanks for your reply. Does this mean I shall exclude their names in question A19 and Section F of the application form?

This is NOT an accounting matter but an immigration rules technicality. Any director remuneration should be subtracted from money invested. If you invested 200K but received 50K remunerations yourself (let's say salary not loan repayment), HO accepts only 150K but from accounting point of view it i...
