Tier 1 Entrepreneur two months short of 10 year ILR

Post by Fonzo » Thu Feb 11, 2016 2:04 pm

I am currently on the T1 Entrepreneur visa which is ending on the 18th of July 2017, when this visa expires I will have stayed in the UK legally for 9 years 10 months and 3 days and am looking to apply for ILR 10 year LTR route. I entered the UK on the 16-09-2007.

I have three questions where I require your assistance:

a)I am looking to get married at the end of this year and my spouse is outside the UK am I able to bring her as a dependent to the UK on my current visa?

b)Am I eligible to apply for ILR?

c)If I am able to apply for ILR which category will my wife apply for?

Any help is greatly appreciated :) THANK YOU IN ADVANCE THIS FORUM HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL, I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH :D

Please see below my visa history:
1) T1 Entrepreneur Visa
Duration 31-07-2014 to 18-07-2017

GAP in visa *explained below*

2)T1 HS Post Study Leave to Remain
Duration: 12-08-2011 to 12-08-2013

3)Visa Status: Student Visa
Duration: 05-09-2007 to 31-07-2011
Entered UK on 16-09-2007

The gap in my visa was due to an error made by the Home Office please see below the breakdown:

11.07.2013 Application made to switch from Tier 1 Post Study Work Visa to Tier 1 Entrepreneur

12.08.2013 Post Study Work Visa Expired

14.08.2013 Application refused based on the fact contracts did not have clients’ telephone number and email address

30.08.2013 Appeal made to the First Tier Tribunal

01.04.2014 First Tier Tribunal dismisses appeal on the basis that the Home Office did not have an obligation to request further evidence at the time of the application.

09.04.2014 Request for permission to appeal to the Upper Tier Tribunal

15.05.2014 Permission to appeal to the Upper Tier Tribunal refused

07.06.2014 Fresh application made within the 28 days allowed

24.06.2014 All the points for my application were given but was refused on the basis that it was out of the 28 day time period.

31-07-2014 Following this my case was reconsidered and visa was granted by the HO.

Please don't create multiple threads (click) when you already have a thread (click) in the ILR forum, which is the correct forum.

When someone is available to answer your question in the ILR forum, I am sure they will.
