5 Year ILR from Entrepreneur route

[waseem84]

Dear All,

first of all thanks to everyone who are contributing on this website and helping people like me , its really helpful. i am going to apply for ILR in May 2018 , i am in the process of gathering docs and this site is been so helpful still i have some confusions if some one can assist me . i got my first entrepreneur visa on 11 June 2013 and applied for extension in 20 May 2016 , by the grace of God i got my extension on 10 March 2017 after successful interview . my extension took around 10-11 months. my questions are:

- i got my first visa on 11 june 2013 and i can applied before 28 days of qualifying period, i am thinking to apply on 12-14 May 2018 , is it fine ? i mean my calculation is ok on it?

- i got my extension on 10 march 2017 , since than i had 3 part times and 2 full time workers have been working for me , out of which one full time i hired in initial period and he continued his employment details are :
worker A full time 11 march 17- 31 December 17(42 weeks) (he started in15 but counting from last grant)
worker B full time 1 april 17 - 30 april 17 (4 weeks)
worker c full time 1 aug 17 - 30 april 17 (39 weeks) (hes still working but i am counting his hours till 30 april now)
worker D part time 1 april 17 - 30 sept 17 (26 weeks part time)
Worker E part time 1 october 17 - 31 december 17 (13 weeks part time)
Worker F part time 1 april 17 - still working (40 weeks) counting his till 31 december but hes working

i fall under transitional arrangement , do i cover 104 weeks full time ? can u guide me how i add up to part times ?

- my 4 year old son was born in Uk i am not planning to apply for his ILR now , as i can register him direct after my ILR and he still have visa till 10 march 2019 . do i need to mention hes not applying in cover letter to CW ? instead of waiting for him to ask?

- i heard i need to send photocopies of docs as well , do i need to send everything copies including application forms as well ? please clarify

Yes

i fall under transitional arrangement , do i cover 104 weeks full time ? can u guide me how i add up to part times ?

So, you have 85 weeks in total of FT job between worker A, B and C.

You need another 19 weeks, which is more than covered by using Worker D and Worker F. So you can just combine those two jobs and you will have 26 FT equivalent weeks, at the minimum.

- my 4 year old son was born in Uk i am not planning to apply for his ILR now , as i can register him direct after my ILR and he still have visa till 10 march 2019 . do i need to mention hes not applying in cover letter to CW ? instead of waiting for him to ask?

Not necessary, no harm doing so either - but it will have no impact.
In all probability you will get some warning letters upon visa expiry as your son will become an overstayer. However, that overstay will not impact the citizenship.

- i heard i need to send photocopies of docs as well , do i need to send everything copies including application forms as well ? please clarify

Yes

Thanks for your kind and in detailed reply.

What do you suggest me for my son to apply with us or not . He will still have Visa till march 2019 and i am applying on 12 May 2018 . Really confused .
That meanss i need to take photo xopy of every single doc i send.

You don't have to apply for your son if you plan on registering him as British. However, you can expect a letter from HO asking about why he was not included in your application and you simply need to respond that you will register him as BC under Section 1(3) of the BNA once your ILR is approved due to the fact that he is UK born.

thanks for your advice .

my partner yesterday got ILR on the basis of 10 year route on window , do i need to mention this on cover letter or they themselves would find out when i send my application for 5 year ILR . Also does it effect my application in any way ?

Can you find me the link where its mention to send them all photocopies including application forms ?

thanks in advance

Your partner has no direct bearing on your ILR application. If he is still working with you in the business that is a good point (another proof point for genuineness, which as we see is becoming more and more looked at) then a mention in the cover letter is worthwhile "My business and original T1e partner has already received ILR via the LR route. S/he is still with me as we continue to grow our business we proudly built together" (it is a strong point, as CWs see business partner "disappear" they might assume the business was only in place for t1e minima which is sort of good example of ingenuineness)

[waseem84]

Yes totally agree with you .

No hes with me and we are working together and expanding our services in other areas of UK .

Could you also comment about photcopies we need to send to HO. Any link where i get guidance ?
Thanks alot

Hi ,

My 5 year will be completing on 10 june 2018 and i am hoping to apply on 14-15 May .
Two of my employees still working and i am claiming point for them , in my case do i need to show their employment till 30 April or i can take out and send payslip and RTI for May as well regardless i am applying on 14 May.
My accountant say you can fiLE RTI before and can take May payslip if i want to . Please what you guys suggest and does it make difference or will it create problem if i send May payslip and RTI before May actually end .

Thanks in advance

Read Pg 85 of the SET (O) form. There is no requirement to photocopy the application form itself

[waseem84]

Thanks marcnath,

Can you advice me on other question please ragarding employee payslip and RTI ?


Thanks one again

There is no problem in submitting the May payslip/RTI in the middle of May.

[waseem84]

Thanks for your advice .

So that means i can claim for month of May as well and count May as finish date while filling form and than to write still working...... i hope there woudnt be any problem ?

Yes, you can of course claim for the month of May. You can even claim for the month of June if you need to and any more months until your application is decided.
Are your employees leaving in May ? If not, why would the finish date be May ?

[waseem84]

Thanks for your reply .

No they aint leaving and no plan to leave in near future . But i thought i have to write somewhere that i am claiming for them till May .

I first thought to write Continue on End date but than thought to write May and still working . What do you suggest ?

Also do i need to send annual account with my application ? Lot of people around me forcing me to send everything but i do no want to send any piece of extra document and this time i am preparing application myself without any hep with so called solicitors . I am following guidance and this forum . I beleive if they want extra doc they will ask .

Submitting the payslips and RTI show that you are claiming for those months.
I prefer to leave the End date blank or filled with something like what you suggeted - continue, still working, etc.
You don't need to send additional documents and you are right - they will ask you for additional documents if you need.
This is a good example - uk-tier-1-entrepreneur-visas/tier-1-ent ... 52947.html
An accelerated ILR should normally be the complext one and it was approved under two months

If it is 6.1, then it is the date of your T1E visa

[waseem84]

So that means i have to write all absences since i got tier 1 Enreprenure visa and nothing to write before it .

Hi everone,

Today i went to my barclays bank and discussed with my business manager about the bank letter home office requested with required information. She gave me a form with title STATUS ENQUIRY REQUEST. She said this will show all informtion yiu want from barclays and this will cost £10 admin fees . Is this normal ?
Has someone got account with barclays and got the letter by same process? Any advice ??
