Important Entrepreneur visa applied after 11 July 2014

Post by Rockey » Sat Aug 09, 2014 7:20 pm

Hi Every body,

I have gone through this forum looks very informative . I am going to start new thread for those persons who are applying after 11 July 2014 new rules changes.

It will be really great if every one put their feedback and timeline on this thread.

My time line is as under:

I am going to apply this month. Can any one pass their important view/comments regarding the case :
My business is already running before this new rule changes. But unfortunatly i could only manage to register business on 11th of July 2014.
I have my own funds £50000.

Every thing perfect except registration which is just one day late.

Can anyone suggest me what should i do in that case?
Can anyone send me application form for dependant under new rules becz i could not find , i just found which have been published in April but updated on 1st July.

Regards :idea:
Best Regards

Rockey

you incorporated a company on 11th July 2014 but you business was running prior to it.
sorry, I did not get the point!! do you mind telling under which provision /legal status of your business self employment etc. you were running your business before 11th July?

I think you need an expert advise because if you registered on 11 July then you were registered on their record on 12 July. That's what I know. Check your company papers. I registered my company on 14 January but on their papers I were registered on 15 January.
How your business was active before company registration?

You are going to increase your chances of refusal. Read "Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) Transitional arrangement – 11 July 2014" on page 5 or 59 in Policy Guidance. Link => https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... 08-14_.pdf

You have to be engaged in business activity in UK before 11 July 2014. So, how can you be engaged in business activity before 11 July 2014 if your company is not even registered? How will you be able to show your business bank account and trading activity?

Remember, HO is expecting only those PSW candidates who were actively involved in doing business (not those PSW who were doing work. For that, HO is expecting them to go for Tier 2)

Sorry for delay in replying. Actually i am preparing my case very carefully so i was busy.

Now i am going to explain.
we can start out business before you register. If you register within six months after starting of business its legal. So i already started my business due to some reason i can not tell you exact name of business but u can say its marketing related business.

Well as soon as i came to know that Home office changed their policy and business should be regiteredbefore 11th July 2014, hence i registered it on 11th July it means its not before but on 11th!!! that is y i m worried.

And my business is running as i had already got some written contracts for business. i have business account which is showing some transaction as well.. so thats not problem ..only problem is i did not register before 11 July 14.

Any friend can put some their positive feed back.

Regards

Rockey,

Nowhere in the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Policy Guidance it says you are required to have "registered" you business before 11 July, 2014.

Check point (d) in the table on page 8 of 59, and then check paragraph 58 on page 12 of 59. All you need to prove is that have been registered with HMRC as self-employed, continuously ENGAGED in business activity of NQF level 4 or above since before 11 July, 2014 up to the point of application, and have access to £50K.

I believe you are just fine as long as you can prove with contracts that you have been engaged in business activity and that your contracts follow the rules explained in A41 of Annex A of the policy guidance.

If by chance, your case worker rejects your application based on this particular point, I still think you can win the case in your appeal, as long as you are following all the other guidelines strictly.
•12-Feb-2015: Applied online (Team), 200K, India
•13-Feb-2015: Submitted documents and biometrics
•25-Feb-2015: Received email saying that they need more time
•03-Mar-2015: Interviewed separately
•05-Mar-2105: Received docs and passport with visa stamped!

Hi PKPD,
Dont worry much about interview becz you have submitted almost all required documents..I guess home office may ask about your third party money which is very important that how you justify that y they are giving you and regarding your business plan pls go through properly just recite your business plan they may ask about your competators in market..

Bust of luck.
Rockey.
Best Regards

Hi rookey
Thanks for your message.
Yes I have to prepare the points you have mentioned.
I am concerned about the contract I have provided, my contract is signed with my employer. I am working for the company for slmost 4 years, start working when I was student and got experience in different level of jobs there. Now they are getting my services as required for my enterpensure visa.
Is is a positive thing or Negative with regards to my case.
Many thanks
