hi zimba88 and macnarth ,

Today i received complex letter after caseworker requested letter from Venture capital under evidenial flexibility policy which i sent them last week but Venture capital letter was which i used in initial application dated july 2014 .

My question is

Do i need to provide caseworker new letter from venture capital which confirms transactions to me with my name?

Or

Letter which i used in my initial application is enough stated of funds available to me dated july 2014 which i sent to caseworker before receiving complex letter ?

Kindly guide me on this issue.

If your application is still in process, it will most likely be considered. Though there is no guarantee.

I made applicaton for extension on 6th dec 2017 and have not received any decision yet

If your application is considered today, it will most probably be refused.

Now that you have sold the business, the best would be to invest it into the new company, create the accounts and send it in as soon as practically possible.

There is no guarantee that it will be accepted, but it is worth trying. If it is still refused, the same can anyway be used in a fresh application.

No, you can't. The transfer has to be from your personal account to the new business account.

There is no necessity to buy goods, etc. just for the purposes of your visa. You do what your business needs.

Invoices are not a specified document - so up to you whether you send it or not.

And, of course, get a set of management accounts from a qualified accountant

ONE more point to clear

If i transfer money from my personal account to new company busniess account does this will count towards investment?

DL to company will count towards investment ?

And if i need to use those funds accordingly i can but first this is the only thing home office need

That

Money invested to limited company is a investment?

I just went back through the thread and realised yours is a VC case.

Now that you sold the business, have you paid the VC back ?

ok. Makes it a bit more complicated. From an accounts perspective, I think it may be better to show this as a VC investment into your new company. And if you can get a letter from the VC for that, that would be ideal.

Isn’t it still the VC’s money anyway? Explain in the cover letter that the business originally invested was sold and the money reinvested

It is missing from the guidance, but is still in the immigration rules.

Section 245D(c)(ii) specifies the same.
