About your question, HO will make no distinction between self employed and director of a limited company if you are the owner in each case. You should apply as self employed if this is you.
LondonBlondeIf you share ownership, you might not be self employed.
WHM is a working visa too, how does that fit in with *EU* regulation on 5 years = ILR ?Rog wrote:I am not sure how legal resetting the clock for HSMP to WP is. EU has a rule that if any immigrant in a working visa completes 5 years stay, he/she would be granted ILR. So even if they want to move from 4 to 5 years to be in line with EU it is still not right that they reset the clock, since both HSMP and WP are working visas.
Great. Have a question. Have you claimed 75 score? It looks that you did not provide the accounts of your business?ajani wrote:I finally received my documents back from homeoffice this morning. Below is my timeline and documents submitted,

Pt. 18
18. I was initially granted 1 year on HSMP, for how long will this be extended when I apply for an extension?
The Immigration Rules allow an extension of stay as a Highly Skilled Migrant to be granted for a period 'not exceeding three years'. However, in light of the changes to the Immigration Rules which came into effect on 3 April 2006, which increased the qualifying period for settlement from four to five years, you may be granted a four year extension.
HSMP rules only appears to be absurd. So the new applicants should give a thought, when they apply for HSMP and decide where to invest their time to make their permanent home.You must be willing and able to make the United Kingdom your main home. If you are successful in your HSMP application, and apply for leave to enter or remain, we will ask you to provide a written undertaking that you intend to make the UK your country of habitual residence.
