Tier 1 Entrepreneur to ILR

Post by NEXTSTEPUK » Tue Apr 17, 2018 11:50 pm

Dear All ,

My 10 years long residency is going to complete on 7 September 2018 without any 180 days absence .

AND

My Tier 1 Entrepreneur 5 Years are going to complete on 28 October 2018

In both above cases i can fulfill all the requirement.

Question:

I have 3 dependents who are living with me as Tier 1 Entrepreneur Dependent since 17 May 2014. My dependent got visa on 17 December 2013 but entered in UK on 17 May 2014.

Besides of these 3 dependent , i have 1 more dependent (my son) who was born in April 2017 here in UK and i did not apply his dependent visa beacsue we do not have an attention to travel abroad.

I can apply ILR on 10 years basis in August 2018 and i can also apply ILR in October 2018 using Tier 1 Entrepreneur Route .

My and my dependents Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visas are going to expire in January 2019

Please advise which option should i use . I am really confused

Regards

Re: Applying ILR Options

Post by cyclina1 » Wed Apr 18, 2018 12:33 am

If you get your ILR through 10 years route, your dependents cannot be PBS dependent anymore and have to switch to family visa with settled person. In this case their clock will reset to zero because and wait the other 5 years again.

So you should get your ILR based on Tier 1 PBS 5 years route, so they can extend their dependent visa as PBS dependent even you get ILR. And they can apply ILR through PBS dependent route.

Technically his hours per week must be increased to 30 hours a week at least. That's it.

From 6th April 2019 you cannot use the transitional arrangements, so apply before that date

Post by NEXTSTEPUK » Mon Apr 23, 2018 5:42 am

Dear All,

I am going to apply ILR using Tier 1 Entrepreneur Route myself with 3 dependents in November 2018. Besides these 3 dependent , we have a son who was born in UK in April 2017 and we did not apply his Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependent visa and still living without any visa. So after getting my ILR , I can straightway apply his naturalization , is it correct.

I have to mention his name in my ILR application and explain in the covering letter as well .

One more thing , i have to fill the 4 separate SET(O ) application form for me and my 3 dependents

Dependent visa issue date can be use towards the 5 years continuous period

as Dependent visa issue Dec 2013 and entered May 2014

Strictly speaking, you will apply for his british citizenship. That is not called naturalisation :)

in my opinion, the answer to this is No. The criteria for dependents is 5 years living together in the UK. That is met only 5 years from May 2014.
@apsk - I am interested in knowing if you know of any cases where the difference between visa grant and entry has been accepted as a qualifying period

I understand we can consider application date, visa granted or entry date to count the qualification period as long as there is no absence more than 180 days in any year. Please advise if you think otherwise?

Definitely NOT application date.

For main applicants, visa grant date can be considered if entry date is less than 90 days of grant.

For all other cases, it is only entry date.

just my own opinion, you are going to pay ten of thousands pound for your whole family ILR. If your case is complicated, better instruct a solicitor to help. Just single mistake (like quite some ppl here related to taxation or employment issues) making your ILR refused, all will be rejected, and ten of thousand gone.....

As @vinny’s link points out, the rules state 5 years living together in the UK for dependants. Good to see HO has not made a strict interpretation of that.
