You have not said whether you are a director of your own company? if so, you are employed and not self-employed.

Hi, I have a similar query on the net pay amount to show. I am also a director of my own company, but my monthly amount varies as its based on the hours worked. I take the minimum salary and draw a dividend once a year. How would I calculate the "monthly" amount? Would really appreciate so...

Yes, my 5 months payslips + dividend vouchers were enough for me to be eligible under Tier 1 General rules applied to me. From the above post, and submitting an accountant letter, it has become very clear that if you are a director of a limited company (and for the sake of this forum, we can assume...

Hi Thx. I have just given the accountant's letter below. It is just straight forward and simple.(rather thats what I wanted and as suggested by my friend who was in the same category like me). Actually I had another letter with the 'projected profit' for the current year but did not produce it as i...

Hi there, I intend to apply for my ILR on the basis or WP+HSMP+Tier 1 (G) [1+2+2]. I am a director of my own company and my accountant generates my payslips on a monthly basis for my hours worked. Since the company is quite new, I do not have my own stamp or letter head yet (have not designed these ...

This is very clearly written in the guidance on the ukba website under their appendix sections.
Your example would be 0 days out of the country, but you do need to declare the times you did go out.
thanks

if your landing date is less than 28 days from your visa issue date, it is the landing date that is taken into consideration, and your 5 years starts from that date. if you go on the earlier date, the visa officer has every right to deny your visa and ask you to make a fresh application after the co...

Hi there, Currently I am on Tire One Visa. My extension is due in December 2011. I know its a bit early, but I have a few questions to make sure that I have everything in order before the time come. I am a sole director (Self Employed) in LTD company. My company is VAT registered and I draw salaery...

As far as I'm aware, if your wife is on her own visa, she can only apply for ILR by herself, and NOT as your dependant. You can capply on set (O) with your dependant child, but your wife will have to wa til next year to apply for herself.
Thanks

hi, Can anybody shed some light on what happens if salary is lower than the previous years salary ? does it affect the ILR ? As seen in some other posts, if your total points are the same or higher than previous points claim, you should be fine. In your case, i would advise to continue taking your ...

Hi Basha, I am not sure but when I was changing job last year I did some searches and I had two options 1. You work for an umbrell company and they pay you or 2. you open your company and pay yourself. both of them should work. If you are under an umbrella company they should give you all the docum...

Thanks for the above reply.
How about the stamping of the payslips? Does that need to be done?

Also, is it my personal income that will be assessed or my business revenue/profit that will be assessed?

Hi there, I am applying in October for ILR under 5 years which encompass work permit/hsmp/tier 1. My most recent 12 months will be as a director of my own company, where I have taken a minimum salary paying both NI and taxes. I will have 12 months payslips which will have total earnings amounting to...

Hi there, I have been offered a job, where my initial contract for the UK employer would be to work in IReland for a few months. I am currently on a New Zealand passport. What do I need to proceed with this? Do i need to apply for a Irish work visa? the employer is a UK based employer who has a proj...

Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone had any idea how we would become a British citizen if we had a combination of hsmp, work permit and tier 1. my example is this: october 2005- oct 2006 : working holiday scheme oct 2006 - octoober 2007: work permit october 2007 - oct. 2009 : hsmp oct 2009: obt...
