Hi Admins, Hope you're well I have 2 questions 1. The company is amending accounts of the previous year, can this be an issue in ILR? 2.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I understand your comment that each case is different and it is hard to predict whether an interview will occur or not but what is the general trend as per your experience? Is the genuine entrepreneur test (interview) strictly applied at the ILR stage when HO...

One more question 3. RTI-FPS - The company accountant uses XERO software for payroll and the FPS provided by this software is in XML format (which is not an easily readable file) - Is it okay that I use an online tool for converting XML file to Excel and submit the excel file as FPS or am I required...

Thank you for your reply. 1. Can you tell what are the chances of being interviewed (genuine entrepreneur test) at the ILR stage (The entrepreneurial team was interviewed in 2019 at the time of application but not at the extension stage) 2. The entrepreneurial team joined an existing business with 3...

Understood. However, just for knowledge - is this option presented to T1 Entrepreneur applicants applying for ILR?

Hi admin,

Is there a priority service for ILR application on the T1 Entrepreneur route? I heard someone applied using this service last month but I was under the impression that this service was not available to T1 Entrepreneur applicants, thanks

Hi @marcnath Thank you for your prompt response. I have a couple of more queries, please 1. As our initial visa was granted in April 2019, for purposes of absent days calculation- a year will be counted as April - April for us? 2. If we apply for a T2 SKW visa, will we have to resign from the direct...

Hi Moderators, I invested in an existing Uk company in 2019 and had my extension in November 2022 on the basis of a net increase of 2 employees. Currently, the business is not doing very well but the business has x number of employees out of which 10 have been employed after my investment and have c...

Thank you Sir

Hi CR001,

Thank you for clarifying this as I had a similar query.

Can you please mention the documents which will be required to prove the time spent on T1 entrepreneur visa? I already had my extension in November 2022. Thanks

Dear Mods,

Any advice on my above question? I greatly appreciate your help

Thanks

Thanks, meself2 for your reply. Can I clarify the following 1. If the visa switch is unsuccessful for any reason, can I apply for ILR on the basis of a T1 Entrepreneur visa (if all criteria are met, obviously) 2. Though switching to any visa has its own challenges, but which one is simpler to switch...

Hi,

I am part of an entrepreneurial team. My first leave was granted in April 2019 and an extension in November 2022. I would like to understand if there is a possibility for me to switch to any other visa category so that the time spent on the T1 visa can be counted towards ILR.
