basically my query was I ceased my self employment in Aug 13, I switched to tier 2 work permit in March 13 so basically I ceased self employment while I was on Tier 2

Thanks for your response, So what are my options?

So basically its on discretion of a case worker if he or she wants to check tax records from HMRC for ILR on 10 years basis?

yes you are right, I think I will need to leave it on my luck and what will be the circumstance that time and how my case worker will see my case. I still have one Tier 2 extension a head so I think I should focus on this first.

National Insurance box is almost included in every form now either for Tier 4 or ILR, I have read and saw many cases where ILR refused on tax basis when person applied on Tier 1 basis, however I have not seen any case rejected on basis of tax affairs when one applied on 10 years basis. No one can ru...
