Right to work while 2nd application in process

[softwareluv]

Hi guys,

Can someone please tell me what do they think in this case:

If your first extension application is rejected, then AR is rejected and you make fresh application within 14 days( but your initial visa is already expired). Are you still allowed to continue with your work under your own company or you should stop working completely?

As I understand, we have many clients, and we cannot suddenly stop service for all clients until we know that for sure. But also it is important to comply with immigration rules. But not sure what is right my right to work now?

No, you do not have any right to work when you are an overstayer.
When you apply an out-of-time application there is no section 3C to cover you during the process, so you are an overstayer without the right to work

If you applied an out-of-time application, you do not have any right to work. You should not work or else you are in breach of immigration rules.

When you say I should not work, does it mean I should be resigning as Director of the company?
If so who will look after business and while my application is in process, will they not check my directorship status in my company?

You must NOT take any salary for the start. Do not resign. Suspend your work if you can until your visa is granted

Being a director in itself is not employment
Write a resignation letter to your board. You are stopping employment effective immediately but will act for the success of the company in your capacity as a director. Stop all PAYE to yourself

Delegate to staff. Delegation is art of management.
