Thank you for your response ZImba, Actually the HO Super Premium Team has gotten back to me and has sent me the XML <etc> <sokfjofjewf> type form. This is why I was curious. So I appreciate the common-sensical approach to all of your responses, however, should I have an email from the super-premium ...

Dear All, My question is in regard to the RTI/FPS submissions required as part of the application for Tier 1 Extension/Settlement.

And then I hired the employees - after investing the funds and setting up the business - WHILE i was in the UK, bu...

rehan - how sure are you about this?

acutally the jobs were a result of my contribution - which is my investment and me registering the company---
