Thanks Zimba your suggestion are very helpful iam also thinking to wait for decision.Zimba wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 1:58 pmI suggest to wait until you get a decision. Your options could be switching to other visas or applying for SET(O) again and then vary to long residence. Seems that courts will grant ILR. If you are really worried you may look at varying now to FLR before refusal.

I wish you the best of luck with the decision. Maybe you think you did not do well while you did better than you thought so try to relax a bit and wait like Zimba suggested. Can I ask if you had interview in the extension or not and if you run the business from home or not. I know you said they visited the office but this can be an office at home that is why I asked my second question. Also if you can provide us with your timeline would be great.star20lion wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 1:42 pmHi All,
The UKVI visited my office last week conducted my interview for 4 hours which was related to my business.Unfortunately they were not satisfied with my answers and seems like ILR application will be refuse after 8 month of applied.
My question is if they refused before my 10 years which is going to complete in September 2019. what kind of option i can use for met ILR. Thanks
HI HMG, Thanks for your well wishes. There was no any refusal or interview in initial or extension application.It was business office and not running from home.I applied my ILR application on 28 sep 2018 in normal processing time.HMG wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 3:49 pmI wish you the best of luck with the decision.

Thanks a lot for getting back to me. I agree with everyone, just wait until they reply and God forbid they refuse, then you can think about other options which luckily you have. I feel they will give it to you but maybe they will try to wait a bit longer until they award you the ILR that is it all.star20lion wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 3:59 pmHI HMG, Thanks for your well wishes.

Hi tire777 very well explained hope will helpful.tier11417 wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2019 1:32 amInterviews for Tier 1 Ent at ILR stage is a reality now. I want to add some bits as I have an interview experience at extension stage. The interview questions at ILR stage are the same and there is a lot of feedback from previous extension interviews on this forum. Members can search the forum and benefit from it at even ILR stage.
I am sharing this with my personal experience so it might give some confidence to the members in stress.
As long as you are genuinely trading, less or more, profit or loss, be confident, you will be okay.
At extension stage, my company was registered at my home address. My employees worked from their own home and my company was in loss. All three negative points.
Although, my 4 hour long interview did not go 100%, lots of counter questioning, in the end I was able to convince the CW about my business model and business decisions through my answers (CW makes the decision not the interviewer).
It was a 4 hour long interview but the two things they focused more was:
1) Investment funds
2) Employees
At ILR stage, job creation is the most important, so be prepared to be grilled on employee questions.
a) keep employee contracts handy
b) employee communication (email, whatsapp, phone)
c) make yourself aware of employee rights (pension, holidays, sick leave, notice period etc)
d) advertisement for jobs (google, facebook etc)
e) employee role/job description
f) employee CV
g) employee names/addresses by heart
h) employee qualifications
i) employee pay/hourly rate
j) If employee is working from home, justify your decision.
k) employee benefits (if any - company laptop or phone or travel expenses etc)
l) how does employee report to you
m) how do you check employee performance if employee works from home
I can only remember the above on top of my head as my interview was conducted in Sep 2017 but the questions will be similar even at ILR stage.
Also, be prepared to answer questions about your investment credibility:
a) where did the money come from - proof if asked
b) how did you invest the money
c) break up of investment/expenditure
d) profit/loss figures
e) advertisement costs etc
Be prepared to keep sale/purchase/client invoices.
Advertisement proof of receipts.
Social media presence.
The interviewer is well aware of your website/social media and they do their homework before they visit you. Keep the website/social media up to date.
Having said all the above, they asked me much more than listed above. This is only areas where they focused more so I wanted to share.
No interview is 100%. Be confident, that is the key.
As job creation is the most important part of ILR application, be prepared to be grilled at employee questions more.
Hello Zimba please what does SET(O) and FLR mean. I am not confident with my interview also.Zimba wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 1:58 pmI suggest to wait until you get a decision. Your options could be switching to other visas or applying for SET(O) again and then vary to long residence. Seems that courts will grant ILR.

I think the focus on accounts now so understand your company account for the past years. Everything on it!logical_riz wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 2:14 pmhi star20lion, can you please tell what kind of questions they asked? I am on same boat interview on Mon. It would be really great help. Good luck !!
