My 'message' wasn't meant to inspire anything. Merely a personal statement.
Don't be sorry, I am not offended nor desire any pity or 'money'. I must say I am rather disappointed with your peculiar vigour in putting me down. For you and and I both know what I said to you over PM, it was straight forward and I demanded nothing. You asked a question I could 'help' with and I responded in kind. What does 'help' means to me? You say the forum is a place to help one another, but we have differing opinions where our help would extend.
Alex877 asked a good question about whether a business needs to be profitable upon extension, I 'helped' by sharing that my business is still in red. In my humble opinion, that is 'helpful' valuable advice as it may well set him free of an unnecessary worry that I too once had, since no one could yet provide better advice. That and other questions I've 'helped' with both on the thread and over PM.
There is no need to infer too much into 'fight'. Obviously, I meant it as a figure of speech, but perhaps a better word would had been 'strive'.
Praise the moderators in the various forums for their generosity with the formats you mentioned, it is indeed a noble thing to do.
Some of the templates for T1E extension that you could perhaps find here feels rather incomplete or could be better in my opinion, and you may not find everything you need. I'm not familiar with the other visas so I can't comment on those.
Our opinions will once again differ, but i did in fact considered it as a genuine fair trade off for the efforts I intend to put in with no malice intended. It would be nice to offset whatever fees I paid to get to where I am, why not? Come on, it won't make me a fortune doing this and I'm sure it will come back to me if my materials proved to be unworthy or a scam..
@muhammadaliabad
Your argument is flawed.. but choose what you think, if it makes you happy. I had no intention to share any contact, did I? If that was the case, I would had listed it out right on front for maximum exposure.
I said in one of my replies "If you're in doubt, it might be worth speaking to an immigration adviser. It might be valuable." I meant it as it is, speak to any solicitor you like, whoever you're comfortable with. Strangely, you'll see that it was @rahulsingh1 who replied after that, seeking out the contact.. @rahulsingh1, perhaps you may now want to reconsider your position about the people I engaged, I may very well be in cahoots with them and you shall never know. Anyway, they are paid services so it won't be 'help' like on here.
To be fair, for whatever compensation I ask, I will include every material and information at my disposal that will be useful. Truthfully speaking, a good amount of time was spent crafting e.g. the accountant's letter. It has to be concise and cover all the points about various investments, job creation, pay rate (& any change), hours. It may not be rocket science but it sure took precious time.
@kingman_9090
Yes, I grouped you with the people who made a request, not asked me a question and you received the same reply as @muhammadaliabad and unlike @rahulsingh1..
I stand by what I think it a fair trade off. I had no desire to publicly mention how much I paid, but you can see what I ask is a small fraction of what it costed me.. Not to be cheeky, but in a way, I imagine we are supposedly people who could invest £200k..?
As you can also see, there was no pressure to take it up, you're a not victim of anything.
@Momi
I appreciate your comment but encourage you to read my opening thread post, I hope you'd understand I started this thread sharing the joy of the good news, my timeline and to say I am happy to answer genuine questions. Again, I say questions and not requests.
Asking for my documents wasn't a question to me and the compensation bit was only for those who didn't ask the right things.
Anyway, this shall be my last reply. Let's close this thread. It is becoming meaningless to have to keep explaining myself. I'm moving on like the others (my speculation) who have gotten their extension or ILR and chose the silence golden. It is a shame, perhaps I could have answered more questions based on my experience but maybe that is not what is needed.
Good luck everyone!

Instead of charging people to share list of ur documents and recover ur cost , try to make ur business profitable . if you really like to act as an immigration adviser, go and get ur OISC license then you can even charge people to say hi back, then no one expect free work or help from you .
you did not come here to help other people, you came to make money. so i think everyone will be happy if you do not come back to this website .
