Dear Marcnath, Zimba and other Gurus,
i just started a new business (Buffett restaurant) with my friend just after my extension and one of our concept is cash only business.
As i got my initial E Visa May 2014 so I am going to eligible for ILR application May 2019, is it correct? I had been waiting 9month for my extension result so this 9 month will count in 5 years E visa route?
now my main question is that when i go for ILR will i get any trouble to prove my genuineness as i am doing cash only business?
I find it intriguing that when the market generally is moving to a cashless society, you have found a niche with a cash only business. But that is what entrepreneurship is about, so I can't see why it should impact genuineness. Expect more scrutiny for that reason - cash only may raise all kinds of concerns. But if you have your rationale in place and everything is above board, it should be ok.
Your eligibility is only dependent on the initial grant date, so as raj pointed out - you will be eligible to apply 28 days before the fifth anniversary of your grant date.
Note that, if you need to avail of the transitional arrangement for job creation, your application needs to be submitted before 6th April 2019.
