The 5 bodies that you have mentioned are supervisory bodies for Audit purposes only.

All the recognized bodies are members of IFAC

There seems to be a discrepancy in UKBA guidance for Tier 1 (Ent) regarding IFA I have spoken to Mr David Woodgate (CEO) of IFA and have met him atleast 3 times. He states that IFA was given full charter for Visa applications in 2011 and as per his opinion this is only a discrepancy that they have n...

A director loan usually stands as a short term transaction
If the balance sheet shows it as a long term investment then it is ok. The most appropriate approach is to increase / decrease issued share capital whenever money flows in or out from director's personal account to business account

You can use quick books, peachtree for your accounting needs For salary you need a software which is RTI enabled and beside that you need user id in order to file the payroll on mothly/weekly basis to HMRC the best way ahead is to get an accountant as you need to get a lot of documents from accounta...

In your case RLMT is not required as you are still on Tier 1(PSW) under section 3C (Assuming that you made the appeal in time) COS can be issued because you are still under section 3C and are legal. The visa application process is a bit different in your case. I think you need to withdraw your appea...

Hi I applied for Tier 1 (ENT) visa from PSW. The 50,000 funds were in my name but the account was jointly held with my cousin. My application was refused as caseworker is saying thatI did not attach affidavit, legal letter and bank letter showing third party funding. I am putting an appeal now and I...

Hi My appeal to First Tribunal was dismissed on 28-Feb-14.... I am putting a new application for Tier 1( Ent) Visa. I have a serious concern. As per my understanding Section 3C applies on me for 5 working days. Should I first apply for Permission to appeal to upper tribunal and then put my fresh app...

Wish it was that easy

It is not that difficult. The only thing is that when we surrender our rights in front of others then we think that it is not possible. Anyhow this is not difficult

Please, do you mean apart from a declaration from third party and legal rep letter, an affidavit is also required?

Declaration is an affidavit as it must be notarzed by a notary public

The best way is to open a business account and transfer the funds in it. Otherwise if you both will keep 25,000 in your respective accounts then you both have to make 1 declaration each (must be notarized) and both will need legal letter from other team member's solicitor. This is not only complex ...

There is no guarantee that UKBA will process the application faster if the money is held in UK. Applicants are waiting since long

Earnings can be varied. The only thing is that you must have the minimum salary threshold in last 12 months (within the last 15 months from the date of application)

Yes, Dividend through profit and bonuses can be included in earnings.

If you run a company then it is better to make dividend vouchers

It is normal in accounting. The bank transfer date and salary slip date can be different. The amount must match

Ask for compensation for time and travel

You must have included the relationship in affidavit / declaration from third party.
It may state that "MR Applicant is my friend" or what ever the relationship is. But it must be included in affidavit

Yes, it is absolutely fine as per immigration laws

There is no specific time. UKBA is struggling with applications and no body can tell you the exact or even an idea time. If somebody makes a guess then please do not rely on it. There were some quick decisions but people are waiting for more than 7-8 months so please do not judge the timings

As per immigration laws when an applicant switches from PSW to T1 (Ent) then the applicant must have had already either registered himself as self-employed or a company director then they award the visa. If you have been awarded the visa then I hope you must have already met the condition. Please ex...

What was the abuse????

It is safe to rely on an OISC regulated adviser. You do not have much choice as a permannet settled employee will cost you much more. Also one thing you must keep in mind that if a user reveals his password to someone else then the TIER2 LICENSE will be REVOKED. It is a gross misconduct so please ta...

Also if the employee changes the home address then the employer do not need to notify the change to home office. There is no provision in sponsor management system. The employer needs to update its records at office only.

Your employer / sponsor must inform the UKBA (Tier2) team through sponsor management system within 10 days of changing the address

it usually takes 5-10 days but at the most 21 calendar days as specified by HMRC
