Tier1 Entrepreneur to ILR

Dear all,

I have a couple of questions regarding tier1 entrepreneur to ILR and would like to request your expert reviews:

1. The requirement says "The applicant has invested, or had invested on his behalf,
not less than £200,000 (or £50,000 if, in his last grant of
leave, he was awarded points for funds of £50,000) in
cash directly into one or more businesses in the UK." The applicant will not need to provide evidence of this
investment if they were awarded points for it, as set out in
Table 5, in their previous grant of entry clearance or leave
to remain as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant (this includes
the evidence to demonstrate that the investment was in a
UK business)."

Question 1: If I invested 50K in my business and was granted points for the extension, Now during the current leave if I withdraw £5000 as a director loan which reduces the Director loan to £45k and then after few days I re-invested £5000 which sum it again 50K director loan investment. In this case, will it affect my 50K investment points for ILR? since, at the end of the year, my annual will show as £50K as a Director loan investment?

Question 2: I created 2 full-time jobs during my initial leave. Empoyee1 is still working with me but the Employee2 left the job after a month when I got an extension. Then the pandemic started and I did not hire anyone for a few months. Now I hired another person (employee2) again and if this employee2 keeps working for the next 12 months then will there be any issue if a gap came in for the employee2 job?

Amazing! that means I will be awarded points for the investment and employment creation?

I can't say that.

All I can say that you meet the requirements set out.

HO can always deny points on the grounds of genuineness, for example

Over speeding ticket and ILR

Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2021 3:31 pm

Respected all,

My ILR is due in the coming few months. I would like to ask a question regarding over speeding ticket and its impact on ILR application. I got over speeding ticket in 2015. I took a speed awareness course and there were no points on my license and no court was involved. Should I mention about this over speeding ticket as an offense in my application or not?. If yes, then what impact it will have on my application?

Many thanks

No. As the court was not involved and it was 6Y ago, this wont have any impact and you can skip mentioning it.

Hi,

Please see the attached image which is coming on the online form asking for a penalty for driving offence. To be honest I don’t even remember if it was a FPN or a letter asking for speed awareness course. But I remember when I called DVLA at that time, they said I have two options, 1. Take speed awareness course, or 2. Points on license and fine.
Took speed awareness course.
One more thing to mention. I had 2 extensions after 2015 over speeding incident which were approved. And I did not mentioned about this incident in those applications as there was no specific question about driving offence in those application forms.

You were correctly advised previously about the same.
