Hi,
I need some advice on my ILR. First of a I would like to ask i am eligible to apply under this route if so then what are the documents are required. There are older threads on here whichi have had a look however it seems too simple and easy lol.

So here is my immigration history.
Student visa: Jan 2009- December 2010
PSW: December 2010- December 2012
Entrepreneur visa: December 2012- September 2015
Spouse visa: September 2015- present.

You are eligible. You need all your passports, LIUK and English language

Thank you for your quick reply.

However I was reading past forums on here and it says you have to provide documents for entrepreneur visa is that true?

Also I was working while I was on entrepreneur visa it was legal though I gave my visa to the company and they accepted so not sure if that's ok or not?

Please advise me.

However I was reading past forums on here and it says you have to provide documents for entrepreneur visa is that true?

No. However note that HO could ask for any additional documentation for previous visas held if they wish, generally to ensure all your various visa conditions have been met. This is not often done though.

Also I was working while I was on entrepreneur visa it was legal though I gave my visa to the company and they accepted so not sure if that's ok or not?

When you say 'working', do you mean as a PAYE employee working for another company and not your own??

Yes as a PAYE for the other company, then after a year or so I got married my husband is British and changed my visa category to spouse, and when I done that they haven't asked me anything about my entrepreneur visa at that time.

So you were in breach of your tier 1 entrepreneur visa conditions.

Surely you knew that you are not allowed to work for another employer or business other than your own??

What made you believe that working on another companies payroll as an employee was legal on tier 1 entrepreneur visa??

Yes however I did have my company and I was try set up my business.

Anyways please let me know if this going to a problem for ILR under long residency route if do then I can just wait till next year and get my ilr with dependent route.

It is up to you which route you choose to go.

Breaches of visa conditions, if it missed at ILR stage, will likely be noticed at British citizenship stage.

Note that HO does do checks with HMRC and your tax and income record.

Even though if I go through spouse visa route? Regardless of what my visa history is I am eligible for ILR and followed by British citizenship right?
Do you think if I hire a solicitor would help me?

You are eligible for ILR on spouse visa route. HO can still check your HMRC history but would be mostly concerned about the 5 years on spouse visa.

For citizenship, the form asks you to state your immigration history and in another section your employment for the last 10 years.

A solicitor has no influence on ILR or citizenship applications.

Thank you for your help.

So do you think I should apply ILR under spouse visa ? Or 10 years route?

Only you can make that decision.

Yeah I know however I am so confused and disappointed don't know what to do.
I have a 6 months old baby, he is British do you think that would make any difference?

For both ILR and citizenship, you, as an individual, need to meet the requirements of the rules and laws.
