Hi Faislondon UTR number normally takes 4-6 weeks to arrive. You must submit this letter while applying. You should also contact to HMRC telling your N I Number and ask them that now you have been self employed and you want to pay class 2 national insurance and request them to send you the bill beca...

Hi Razian97

I have claimed pre tax net income from self employment.

Hi Jay

You will come under both Employed and Self employed categories.

I was not previously issued BRP and they told that I will receive those by post within 7 working days.

No thats not right, they do accept the applications from self employed. I am self employed and I got approval.

Main thing to arrange other than normal documentation for self employed people is that you must provide them the paid bills of Class 2 national insurance.

Thanks for this forum. I got approved my ILR on 18.01.13 at Croydon along with 4 dependants.

Appointment was at 8 am and got approval letter at 11 am.


I am self employed as sole trader.

Any questions welcome.

Hi R.M

Pls add IFA in addition to the accounting bodies you have already mentioned. Please note that accountant must registered with one of the accounting bodies you mentioned and must be able to mention his registration number on the letter head.

ATII or ATT are not in the approved list of UKBA.

Hi Haideez

I suggest that if you have to prove your income from self employment (sole trader) then in that case you need to submit all the documents mentioned my list.

Actually I am accountant and normally prepare these documents for my clients.

You need to provide the following : 1- Accountant letter confirming your gross salary and gross and net income from self employment 2- Annual or management accounts ( to be prepared by the accountant) 3- Invoices receipt summary (verified by the accountant) 4- Business bank statements 5- Salary slip...
