Hi

I called 3 lawyers in London today who deal with Immigration and 2 of them suggested that its not an issue if you have been a director for over 3 months.

1 of them had the same comment as yours, to start fresh with a new company.

Its really confusing

Thanks a lot Lucapooka, it does clear few clouds. I have 2 choices, please do share your thoughts 1. Once the company's bank account has over 200K. 2. Write a letter on company behalf that this money can be used by me for new business. 3. Use this bank statement + letter that funds are available to ...

I was able to get in-person appointment for the 17th June.

I hope if I meet the officer in person it will be easier for me to explain and show all needed documents.

What do you recon, is it a good idea?

Gaurav

the checks were deposited as they came... and in India payments always came 7-8 weeks after the work was completed ??

I need to show these as earnings else I wont meet the points needed.

Is there any way I can make it simpler or clearer for the officer who will look at the case

regards
gaurav

?? still waiting for anyone to reply to this...

I really need to get this through as many experienced people as I can cause though it seems like a common case but its tricky... The checks were issued in my name and were deposited in my bank account. I have statements to prove it. My taxes were done by an accountant who is not a CA, but confirmed ...

I met a lawyer in London2 weeks ago but even he was confused
and was not sure what to do except to get letters from the clients explaining why the payment was delayed.

I was not fully convinced as he had never handled a similar case.

Can you recomend any professional services

I understand your point its just a little frustrating thats all.

How long does it take to get Tier1 visa in India, if we decide that she goes back just to apply for this. (for planning sake)

Thsi will mean waste of time and money just to go back to India as she has to take vacation + we need to show funds in Indian Bank account (not enough money as prescribed at present) rather than a UK bank account + she has a job in UK
