Advice regarding ILR via Tier 2 General
Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2016 11:47 am
Hello everyone , seeing many topics around ILR refusals due Tax discrepancies , I would like to seek some guidance for my ILR application which is due in a couple of months.
I will be eligible to apply for ILR via the Tier 2 route on 25/04/2016. The immigration history I would be using for my application would be as below.
23/05/2011 - 2/02/2016 - Tier 1 General
03/02/2016- 14/02/2017 - Tier 2 General
For most of the above period I have been employed via big IT companies and all the salaries and taxes have been correctly paid and are reflected in HMRC records and I would have the P-65s and SA records etc.
But for a 10 month period from April 2015 till February 2016 I was self employed through my own company. The annual submissions for the company would be towards the end of April 2016 as that is when the company would complete 1 year of existence . I have ceased to be the director of the company from the date the Tier 2 visa was granted.
My queries are
1. As per Tier 2 General route for ILR , I only need to submit the most recent payslip from the employer and corresponding payslip . Please let me know if I have misunderstood the guidance
2.Since the company for which I was self employed won't have submitted its annual records to HMRC by the time I would go for an ILR interview , what are the things that I need to be prepared with ? I know that for the Tier 1 route i would have had to show the invoices etc or am I being paranoid and should I just supply only what is required for Tier 2 route ?
Any guidance would be much appreciated as I have had a ILR refusal last year as I had inadvertently included Tier 2 ICT (issued after Apr 2010) for the 5 year calculation and so would like to be careful this time
