ILR Sole Rep Visa/ Overseas Business Rep visa - anybody in the last 1 year?

Can you please share your timeline and experience.
How long it took to process your application? Success or refusal, your timeline, any interview by phone, or additional docs asked? The dates these happened?
Interview questions or refusal reasons?
Would really be helpful to me. Thank you in advance.

Very few people are under this route so you may not get any response.
Note that the requirements under this route are clear: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/indefinite- ... s-business

Interviews for ILR are very rare. You should expect a response within 8 weeks to 6 months when applying for ILR using standard service
Advice is given based on my personal research and experience only. Do NOT contact me via private message for immigration advice

Sole Rep to ILR as Zimba says is not common as there is a very low number of sole rep visas issued as a starting point.
I wouldn’t stress too much about the process. Make sure you are prepared with the appropriate documentation, submit it and it will be a waiting game.

If you get invited to interview, that means there is a possibility the Home Office are considering a refusal, it is not a fact checking exercise. It is very rare to be invited to interview under sole rep. route.

Good luck
