I am due to make my T1E extension application shortly and was hoping to get some clarifications here. The extension application points table from the guidance (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... -_0319.pdf) says:
I established my UK company in 2012 while I was a PBS dependent visa holder, and applied for T1E entry clearance in 2016 successfully. During this initial application, I provided the Companies House registration documents as proof of my directorship. There has been no change in the directorship of my company. Point 2 above grants 20 points to the applicant and point 3 grants 15 points.2. You have:
(a) registered with HM Revenue & Customs as self-employed, or
(b) registered with Companies House as a director of a UK company, or member of a UK partnership.
You must have registered within six months of entering the UK with this entry clearance (if you provide evidence to establish your date of entry) or, in any other case, within six months of the date your leave was granted.
3. Within the three months before the date of application, you have been:
(a) registered with HM Revenue & Customs as self-employed, or
(b) registered with Companies House as a director of a UK company or member of a UK partnership
My question is: Since i registered the company in 2012 (not within 6 months of entry clearance, but much before my T1E entry clearance) would I not be awarded these points? What is the difference between the documents required for points 2 and 3 above for someone in my position?
I had also shown evidence of investment of £200k during my initial application. The guidance says:
You do not need to provide evidence of this investment if you were awarded points under this table in your last grant of entry clearance or leave to remain as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant.
How do I know if points were granted to me for this investment made before my initial application (documents were provided to evidence this). And Should i be providing this evidence of this investment again?
Do I need to provide any additional documents if i provide a joint account bank statement for the maintenance proof for my wife (for dependent application) and myself?
Thank you and look forward to your help!
