Hi Everyone,

My ILR due in march 2016 and i am eligible for ILR in both ways Tier 1 general route as well as 10 year long residence.

When i got Tier-1 general in Jan 2011 used income from both sources ( employment+self-employment). but income declared to HMRC is less compared to what i showed to home office.

Now i have sent amended tax returns to HMRC in Dec still they are dealing with it , i dint get any confirmation from them , when i spoke to them last month they are going to look at my case in feb 1st week.

Can you please advise , what else if amended tax returns not updated in HMRC by the time of applying my visa. would it be Safe to go for same day application by showing the proof of amendments already in place with covering letter from accountant

OR

applying by post it will take another 2 to 3 months extra time. so there will be possibility that HMRC can update tax returns by that time.

if i apply by post do i need to send all sa 302s with copy of new amendments including accountant letter.

Finally which is the safer route apply by post Tier 1 general route or 10 years long residence.


Many thanks in advance

It doesn't matter which ILR route you apply for, you income/tax history will still be checked.

I am looking for options to drag my application as much as possible so that by that time HMRC might update tax returns.

Since I am in same position as yours, my advice is to choose the option that make you happy and comfortable, in this scenario there is no point asking someone about options.

What I am going to do is, if my tax won’t get updated before due date, I may apply via post by sending extra documents like confirmation letter from HMRC (if possible), accountant letter and copy of amendment.
Try to drag application by delaying Biometric etc.

At least I believe (not sure) HO can’t refuse application by Deception.

I was thinking about this for last 1 month and all I gained is sleepless night. So do your part, relax and hope for the best.

You are overoptimistic. The HO can refuse an application by Deception...and they do.
