Tier 1 Entrepreneur 5 yrs ILR Eligibility

[Jazz2007]

Were you allowed to work(as a director) while you were waiting for the result of the fresh application?
Do you know how they would calculate your time for your 5 year ILR? Assuming you applied your first extension just before the expiry, then do they take out your appx. 10 months' waiting from 5 years?

If you apply an in-time application, you are covered by section 3C and your visa extends until your hear. Time spent on section 3c is counted towards the 5 year requirement for ILR.
If you apply an out of time application, you are an overstayer are not allowed to work until you hear back, however your time spent as an overstayer will be ignored for ILR if your fresh application is eventually successful.

Dear Zimba and all respected Members,

I have a doubt on this, Please clarify..

I got Tier 1 Ent Initial Visa in Nov 2013 and extended visa expires Feb 2019.

According to your post please advice if i am eligible for ILR on Nov 2018 as in between 3 months period for extension is covered by 3C.

Moderators please delete this post if not relevant.

Thank you

If you applied for your extension before your previous visa expired, then the existing visa conditions continue under section 3C and you are covered and not an overstayer.

You can apply shortly before 5 years residence for ILR.

Thank you CR001 for your reply,

I have applied a week before my initial visa expiry date.

Please advice according to rules one can apply for ILR 28 days before their 5 years completion and as per your response can i apply for ILR in October 2018 (if the requirements like Job Creation are met)

Many Thanks...
