Tier 1 Entreprenuer to ILR - requirements help

Hi all

I would soon be sending my ILR application via Tier 1 Entreprenuer 200K 5 years route.

I would like advise in regards to Para 245DF(f) and 245DF(g). Should I submit any evidence for these two points with my application? The guidance and the form do not indicate any evidence to be submitted but my past experience with UKVI worries me.

Same happened with my wife's dependant visa application. The guidance and the form do not present the full picture of the immigration rules. Her application was refused under para 319C (d) & (e) (which was later accepted in fresh application and loads of evidence documents). I really want my ILR application to be perfect in the first place.

I have copied and pasted the relevant paragraphs below for ease of reference. If evidence is to be submitted I would appreciate if you can give examples below the relevant points.

Any advice and suggestions really appreciated.

Regards

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Para 245DF (f) The Secretary of State must be satisfied that:
(i) the applicant has established, taken over or become a director of one or more genuine businesses in the UK, and has genuinely operated that business or businesses while he had leave as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Migrant; and
(ii) the applicant has genuinely invested the money referred to in Table 6 of Appendix A into one or more businesses in the UK to be spent for the purpose of that business or businesses; and
(iii) the applicant genuinely intends to continue operating one or more businesses in the UK.

Para 245DF (g) In making the assessment in (f), the Secretary of State will assess the balance of probabilities. The Secretary of State may take into account the following factors:
(i) the evidence the applicant has submitted;
(ii) the viability and credibility of the source of the money referred to in Table 6 of Appendix A;
(iii) the credibility of the financial accounts of the business or businesses;
(iv) the credibility of the applicant’s business activity in the UK, including when he had leave as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Migrant;
(v) the credibility of the job creation for which the applicant is claiming points in Table 6 of Appendix A;
(vii) if the nature of the business requires mandatory accreditation, registration and/or insurance, whether that accreditation, registration and/or insurance has been obtained; and
(viii) any other relevant information.

Hi

I would soon be sending my ILR application via Tier 1 Ent 200k 5 years route. Just have a few questions for Section 5.

Below is what I have answered:
SECTION 5:
5.1 Is your home in UK: privately rented
5.2 Do you pay rent: Yes, £430 per month
5.3 Are you working in UK: Yes, £1250 per month

My questions:
1. Do i need to submit any evidence for the above answers, like: rent agreement, payslips, P60 or bank statement etc?
2. Is there any impact on the decision in regards to income level?

Regards

Please keep ALL your questions on the same application in a single topic (this one). It isn't necessary to start a new one with each question you have on the Set(O) form.

SET(O) is clear on what documents you need to send. You must send evidence for your claims about your income.

dear zimba88, thanks for the reply. as per my understanding (correct me if wrong) the income evidence is for Tier 2 applicants not for Tier 1 Entrepreneur applicants.

also wanted to ask whether the income I state in question 5.3 will have any effect on the decision. as there is no income criteria for Tier 1 Ent applicants but does a lower income level has adverse impact?

Tier 1E does not have an income requirement. However you simply need to show you can maintain yourself reasonably in the UK. That is all.
