I am applying for my extension soon isn't solicitor has confused me

1) I was registered as a director for company With in 6 months And ran a company for more than a year and then I resigned my solictor is saying as I have resigned from the company A I won't get points for registered within 6 months and continuous business engaged activity (because one needs to be the director of the company A till extension to score for both the points) it doesn't matter you are registered with company b or not please note I registered for company B as soon as I resigned from company A which was in 2015 and m currently running Comoany B till date and is engaging continuously in business.

In short I want to ask seniors is my solicitor right or we can resign from the company we were registered with in 6 months and move on registered director in another company please confirm will I get the point of not for continuous business activity and registered within 6 months?

Your solicitor is wrong !
You simply need to be registered within 6 months but you are free to move on to another business at any time. In fact you can score your points across multiple businesses if you wish.

This is very clearly mentioned in the guide:

144. We recognise that you may have moved on and no longer be engaged in the business in which you were originally working when you first entered the Entrepreneur category , but we still require evidence that you were engaged in business within 6 months of entering the route.

I am seeing a pattern on this forum now. Many people on here are mislead by inept solicitors and most are being refused visas. I suggest to fire your solicitors and read the guide yourself. Why most people on here think solicitors are necessary ??

Zimba is great Fahadh and he is right about the so called solicitors, Thanks Zimba. go Ahead and apply and dont panic . Just make sure you follow the policy guidelines and leave the rest to the man upstairs. I understand the pain you may have gone through to come to this stage and its not easy. All the best and do check on this forum and contribute. cheers

Dear Fahad,

Please include CAR(include resignations) of Company A with your extension application.You can fulfill this point from the filing history page CAR.
Dont forget to mention this is your Covering Letter.

If you have invested and created jobs in Company B, It will make easy for CW to go through the docs.

There are number of examples on this forum who are interviewed if this kind of complex issues arise.You can avoid this by explaining your situation clearly in the Covering letter with required documents.

Best of Luck!!

Thanks everyone for your help

So what I understand from you guys is for Company A I will be awarded 20 points for being Registered WITHIN 6 MONTHS even though I RESIGNED

For company B Whixh was registered after MORE THAN ANYEAR AGO I got my VISA and still I m registered with it so I will be awarded 15 points for being the director and engaged in continuous business activity

So in above mentioned scenario I m safe and will be awarded 35 points.

Please correct me if i m wrong also if that's the case I will neee to fire the solicitor now.

Time Gap between resigning Company A and Joining Company B is questionable(if its long) and as a Entrepreneur, Rules require your business to be active throughout period of grant.

[tier1in2014]

if you were Registered WITHIN 6 MONTHS you are safe for that and if you resign and switch to different company either as Ltd Company director or as self employed any time during your leave its fine But you have to be active in one business all the time . It will depend when you resigned from Com A and when you start another business . I think its always good idea to start another business before resigning from current company . If you give more specific dates I am sure Gurus will be able to answer you more accurate.

Now you should withhold solicitor payment if not already paid and claim damages from them for giving wrong advice. Most immigration solicitors are not qualified to give immigration advice and have not read full guidence they just open small shops on high street with very limited knowledge. They all deserve nice big kick on backside

[Fahadh]

Your are right mate when I will get visa I will claim for damages lol I spoke to him yesterday still he believes that he is right that one cannot resign from the company we were registered within 6 months also he believes won't get points for continuously engaged in business activity points.
