Relocating Online Business to UK - Some Help? - 10/19/2007 19:40:03   
I am moving my online gaming portal business to the United Kingdom (UK) where I will live. I just got my passport to move from the USA to the UK. Now, I need a Working Visa to work in the UK with my existing Home Based Business.

My business is already profitable and should be more profitable in the UK. I made a $60,000 profit last year and am set to make a $70,000 profit this year. I am my company's only employee.

Should I apply for a UK visa under the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme or another category?

To qualify for a UK Working Visa, I see that I could be required to have at least 200,000 pounds available for me to use, held in my name. Do I qualify for this 200,000 pound condition to relocate my already profitable business to the UK? There is no way I can come up with 200,000 pounds right now. Could I make this reinvestment over two years or do I even qualify for this 200,000 pound condition? It will be really difficult for me to reinvest 200,000 in one year.

I am looking for someone who has already moved from the US to the United Kingdom to relocate their internet business. If you know of someone, could you send me thier contact info to scoplen3@comcast.net ?

I am looking for what below conditions I need to show proof of to get a UK Visa:
1. Invest £200,000 in a new UK business.
2. Create full time employment for at least 2 EEA nationals

I think these are probably questions that you should be asking whichever UK govt agency deals with such matters.

...and you need to be able to provide evidence to back up this claim.
