Re: Employment Creation - Other Shareholder Directors

Guidance confirms what I thought....the question is in context of a Tier 1 director or partner who is also a migrant. Ladies and gents...always question your solicitor :) 180. If you are not the sole partner or sole director in your business or businesses, you must provide all of the following: The ...

@henrospanish - No, did not go through JRE. Just made a fresh application within 28 days. I am unfamiliar with the JRE process, nor am I aware of my solicitor's experience with JRE. However, I do have contacts in the QC (i.e. Queen's Counsel) that can maybe help for such a case. I can PM you details...

I spent many days hunting for a solicitor. I know it would have been helpful for me at the start of my search if I had a few contacts (or at least one) with a track record of delivering results for complex cases. No one is obliged to follow my suggestions nor anyone else's on any forum. Everyone has...

Visa Approved with the Help of Good Solicitor

After four months and two application attempts, I finally got the approval letter today via my solicitor. My case was extremely complicated, as I had a previous refusal for an application I submitted after my PSW visa expired. I spoke with a number of solicitors over the phone and in person yet most...

Thanks, that sounds like a good option, but wouldn't it be easier to use of a Change of Circumstances form (if it can be used for such purposes) and just move the money from my business account back into my personal account and resend my personal UK bank statement with the 50K? This way, it removes ...

My PSW expired March 7th so probably don't have time to reapply. How would I send a follow-up / cover letter without submitting a change of circumstances form? The ukba requirement about having your name on the business account doesn't make sense. An individual with more than 10% shares (I own 100%)...

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, best not to conduct further action on monies held in UK bank accounts until advised by the ukba. I will obtain a letter from my Lloyds business contact confirming the money in my uk business account is at my full disposable personally and / or for the business (which is ...

Would it be best to submit a change of circumstances form with a new statement showing proof of funds in the personal account instead of the business account?

Or would the UKBA not accept documents containing amended details?

Yeah, it is a bit ridiculous! Especially considering one could just transfer the money back into their personal account in the matter of seconds. I founded my company with 10K initial capital, the remaining 40K I put in the business account as well just because it makes more sense to have all the 50...

My business and personal bank accounts are both with UK banks. The transactions on my UK business account also show Ive made the transfers from my UK personal account into my UK business bank account, not another business or third party account. Application was sent today. They will probably take th...

Let me rephrase...

My £50,000 is in my UK business bank account. My name is not on the UK business account statement I sent to the UKBA as part of my application, just my UK business name. Is that a problem for UKBA?

Withdraw Application due to Name on Business Acct Statement?

I am on a Tier 1 - PSW switching to Tier 1 - Entrepreneur. Just sent my application and am sweating about a potential issue... £50,000+ is in my business bank account, yet my name is not on the statement I sent to the UKBA, only the name of my business. Even though I am the sole director and owner o...
