Delay in UK Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visas Extension

Post by khan7866 » Thu Jan 24, 2019 6:09 pm

Actually,

I applied for my visa extension on 15th Aug 2017.
In July 2018 home office conducted the interview.

After that, I didn't receive any letter or call from the home office. I will be applicable to make my ILR application in March as I will be legally living in UK on Tier-1 for 5 years given the Home office don't refuse my application till March 2019.

In this case, what will be the things that I will need to submit for my ILR application?

I will be very thankful for your valuable help.

Thanks

Have you gone through the guidance ? The primary one would be LIUK

What if you are approved in the next few days? You have to be prepared for that scenerio also as you would need to show job creation for ILR then. Although you would be able to use the previous 12 months. Hope you are up to date with your job creation also.

Hi Khan,

Based on my understanding about your situation.

I Would advise you to submit all the document's which was submitted on extension because your extension is not approved yet . Also update your documents such as current appointment report, company related certificates and bank statements.

In addition to old documents you would need

Last 12 months employee creation proof same as extension example : ID of employees, FPS, Payeslips etc....

Life in UK TEST

Because your extension is not approved yet, I would strongly suggest to send the entire set of documents sent in .

All the best

Thanks Tier11417,

As I mentioned before I applied for the extension on 15th August 2017. Then on 1st Sept 2017, I employed a new employee which is still my employee when I will be going for ILR application in March he will underemployment with my business for about (roughly) for 18 months (short of 6 months to fulfil 1 employee for 2 years criteria).

For this situation do you have any suggestions for me?

Kind regards

Khan

If you are approved sooner and very close to your ILR date, you will fall under the exception rule and can claim for all employment for the last 12 months immediately from date of ILR application.

Just to assume for example if you are approved next week and you want to apply for your ILR on March 17th 2019 (assuming date given you are eligible 5 years anniversary from initial date minus 28 days) then you can claim for all employment from 17th March 2018 - 16th March 2019.

Just check if you have 104 weeks or 24 months of employment in this year as mentioned above.

Thanks for your reply, can you suggest me that in case if I don't get any reply till 25th March 2019 when my 5 years on Tier-1 are completing, in that case, will I need to

1. to prove that I have created an employment to cover 2 years period as I have hired only one employee.
3. Company accounts
2. Life in UK test (I have already passed it)

or just Life in UK test

Please wait for someone else to respond to this query. I would request Marcnath to answer please. I am not sure if investment and jobs needs to be proved as your extension is not yet approved.

Have not yet seen any case switching from Tier 1 extension to ILR via Tier 1 5 years.

If you get to that time without a decision, you would need to vary by doing a full ILR application with all the documents needed for ILR.

1. I am not sure what 2 years period you are referring to. The requirement is two jobs created during the "previous grant of leave", which in your case would be the 5 years period.
2. You need all the evidence needed to show investment
3. You need the evidence for the other attributes - started business within 6 months of entry, and within 3 months of application,
4. LIUK

and so on - any other document specified for ILR in the guidance.
