First extension - 12-Jul-2012 to 12-Jul-2015
Second extension - 17-sep-2014 to 17-sep-2017 ( Awaiting BRP)
I entered UK more than 90 days late hence I needed second extension.
Category : Ltd company director withdrawing salary+Dividends(Although I claimed only dividends for my earnings)
Appointment was at 10AM
9.25 - Arrived at Croydon office and went through Airport security check
9.45 - Payment confirmation page verified and provided with token number
9.55 - Went through Bio-metric finger prints and photo,submitted the supporting documents
10.05 - Case under consideration
10.45 - Documents ready for collection
11.00 - Out of Lunar house and off to a pub
That was the fastest visa extension process I ever had in my entire life. Hassle free. I didn't get to see case worker. I guess booking on Saturday also helped as the crowd was very less.

hi bond.boy203
I am new to extension using limited company. Went through many forums, can't get clear clarification.
1. I am going for visa extension this month (Feb-2015).
2. I need 40k to achieve points.
2. I am showing GROSS Salary of 10k
3. Gross Dividends as 30k
4. Showing 12 Consecutive months earnings as Salary + Dividends (From Feb 2014 to Jan 2015) to get 20 points
-- Net dividends 27K (before gross) took one time as dividend on last month (Jan-2015).
So, question is here
I don't have work for more than 8 months (Between Feb 2014 to Sept 2014), No earnings on that time.
But I have worked as a contractor before Before and After Sept 2014.
Before Feb 2014, I earned some money and it was in Business account and also earned some money after September 2014
So, The total I have in my business account as profit of 27k net(before gross). So I took the same.
ie:
Before Feb 2014 I left carry forward profit as 10k
After September I earned profit as 17k.
Will home office will consider the 10k net as valid earning? I earn that before Feb 2014 (business invoices amount as IT contractor). I have those invoices.
Good thing that I took 10+17 profit as single dividend on last month (Jan 2015) which fall in 12 month consecutive period.
My profit and loss account will not show the 10k in 12 months period, but accountant letter will show the Gross dividend and Salary as 40k ie: 30+10
Will home office will treat the date of dividend took from Business account to current account or based on invoices earnings and profits?
Please suggest.
