Hello friends! I have recently received my Indefinite Leave to Remain in UK for myself and my spouse after living in the UK for 10 years. I also applied for my children's Indefinite Leave to Remain under SET (F) application forms as their length of stay was only 9 years, and they have received their...
As long as your date on the application is 23rd July, its fine. You can post on the last day, but I don't know about grace periods. Why don;t you call Home Office to confirm?
Dear La, You can run your business without investing the £200,000 capital, but unless you show Home Office that you made the investment, you can't extend your Tier 1 visa if this is what you plan to do, but you can switch to Tier 2. Please read the policy guidance on Tier 2 visas. However, I'm not s...
Dear la, If you do not invest the money, you will not be fulfilling the requirements of the visa, and the consequence is that you will not get an extension. As a Tier 1 Entrepreneur, you are not allowed to work for anyone else, but you CAN switch from any Tier 1 category to a Tier 2 category as per ...
Dear la, You are obviously going to be investing this money in the business, you can't keep it in the bank for the whole 3 years. If you do business with it, you have to pay tax on any profits you make. If you believe your profit per year is going to be £200,000, then yes you have to pay tax on this...
Dear Danman, We kept both the maintenance funds and the investment funds in the same bank account. I sent one bank statement which showed the total balance in the end for both type of funds. So in total we showed £55,000 on one statement. Please check http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/do...
Onewin,
The number to call is the same that you have probably called several times: 08706067766. You just have to be patient with them and wait. Try calling early in the morning.
Dear Vinoth, The amount does not have to be in the account after you have sent your application, as there is no time set by the UKBA. If your documents are original and preferably from UK bank, then they won't even make verifications as they have said on the policy guidance that to save time they on...
Dear harun, First, Have you checked if this job title is in the Home Office list fit for a graduate? Second, I don't know if one can be a marketing consultant without qualifications in marketing. But maybe that's just me, because I chose the title of Sales and Marketing Director especially because i...
Walaikum Assalam Babukhan, I kept my money in the account as long as my application was in process. In fact I have still not used it, only because I don't need it yet. But I don't think it matters if you take money before your application is approved. Just get an ad hoc bank statement upto the date ...
Onewin, are you sure your account has enough money or that if you have over draft facillity, it is nt over limit? Contact your bank and tell them you have authorized Home Office to take this payment fromyour account. Sometimes banks hold unusually large payments for security reasons. You shoud also ...
Dear Swathi,
I did not use any solicitor. The business I showed was online retail business selling beauty products, jewellery and clothes etc.
Hope this helps.
Dear Akpe, I wish you all the best. The maintenance aspect is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL. They follow the rules to the letter. Even though I showed £5000 in maintenance funds, yet, just because my statement showed that my funds fell below the required amount for only 6 days, they raised the alarm. Fortunate...
Dear Akpe, Thanks for the nice wishes ! I am sister. Yeah, I agree the new concession for PSW visa holders is a great relief. I like to think God made it happen especially for me :) My money was in a joint account which I hold with my husband. All my money was in UK. I think its best to have the mon...
Dear Sagar2009, Do you mean what documents I provided as evidence of business activity fit for Graduate Level Employment. First of all, since I did BA (Hon) in Marketing I told them I was working as a Sales and Marketing Director, and that this qualification can be found on their list. As a Marketin...
Hello everybody, I have started this new topic because I got my Entrepreneur visa approved today and I want to help anybody who wants to know something about my experience with which they can benefit. I applied for Entrepreneur visa on £50,000 investment from within the UK, with my 3 dependents (hus...
My money was in a personal joint account.
As evidence of business activity I sent 3 printouts. One of my website homepage, 2nd of my store homepage on a merchant website. 3rd of an ad I made on my computer.
Hello everybody, I applied for Entrepreneur visa on £50,000 investment from within the UK, with my 3 dependents (husband and two children) switching from PSW visa. My visa processing time is as follows: Application made: 6th June 2012 Application received by home office: 7th June 2012 Fee taken from...
I remember I took the IELTS test in 2006 for university admission. I was a visitor from Pakistan and I took it from an IELTS centre in Lee Green, London. But I then went back and made my application from Pakistan. :) I got an 8.0. I remember my brother telling me that it was unbelievable that I got ...
Why don't you just put the required money in her account and let her show it to the immigration authority. Or you could have a joint account and she could still show it as her maintenance funds.
If anyone would like to take advice from a person currently studying in UK and analysing the situation for student and other immigrants here, I would say go to Europe, Canada or Australia to study. They are much more flexible than UK and Europe is even launching a blue card immigration system for sk...
I think if student is currently living in inner London, the maintenance funds will be calculated for inner London. If they are currently from outer London, outer London maintenance rules apply. I think it does not matter whether a student lived there for 7 months or 1 month. wherever he or she is cu...
Your maintenance funds are in addition to any unpaid fees and will depend on where you live. Download the Tier 4 student visa application form and the Tier 4 application help text from the UKBA website. It has more details. According to this document: L9 A student studying in inner London must show ...
