HI All

my visa is due to renew on MAY 2015 , and granted visa through £200k investment .

in policy guideline mentioned, in order to claim the points for my extension I have to create jobs ( REGARDLESS OF HOURS AND POSTS) , for people who are settled in UK, and UKBA need copy of their passport or their ILR , in many solicitor's websites ( eg. links in below) mentioned , job creation can be for the people from EEA national as well, but no where in policy guideline mention this. I called and emailed UKBA but no answer .

A27. Only jobs that are given to people with settled status in the UK will qualify for the award of points. Paragraph 6 of the Immigration Rules defines what we mean by “settled in the United Kingdom” This can be viewed on www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/
immigrationrules/introduction/. For the purposes of these guidance notes a ‘settled worker’ is a person who is:
