Please Help/Guide: Tier 1 Entrepreneur ILR Two Interviews 13 months still waiting

[Khanbhai]

Hi, everyone

I need your help and advice about my ILR visa application and my dependent visa application. You guys are always very helpful.

It is a long story I will try to make it short. I have applied for Tier 1 Entrepreneur ILR visa in August’ 2018 with my business partner under 50K category and PBS dependent visa for my wife in April’ 2019, she was short of 1 month in 5 years. Our visa expiry date was in May’ 2019. My visa application is still pending, we had two interviews for Tier 1 Entrepreneur ILR 1 in June 2019 and second in July 2019. We also Interviewed on Tier 1 Entrepreneur extension stage and all went well.

I applied and got SAR before ILR interviews, according to that report we have been awarded all the points within 3 weeks of my ILR application. Contacted MP twice no result (I have no Idea why they are holding my application that long)

I came in UK on 21st February’ 2019 visa was issued on 2nd February’ 2019 if I am not wrong I will complete my 10 years on 21st February’ 2020 and I believe I can apply ILR on 10 years base on 31st January’ 2020. I have following questions;

1. Can I vary my dependent’s application from PBS dependent to ILR? Will it affect my current ILR application because it is now too long and complex our ILR application process, that is the reason I did not vary her application to ILR till date. I have all the documents ready application form is done only I need to make payment.

2. If my ILR application is rejected or I apply for ILR 10 Years base, will we lose all the money for PBS dependent visa and ILR dependent visa and IHS?

3. If I apply for 10 years ILR what will I do to get my dependent visa will I lose all the fees for her? Will I have to reapply visa for her and what dependent visa? Will I need to show 18,000 salary? which I can’t not in that short period of time.

4. One solicitor advised to one of my friend that If I am working for my company I have to show 12 months’ payslip in order to apply for dependent visa showing £18,000. What is your suggestion?

5. Should I contact any solicitor to discuss my case? I do not trust them as I applied on my own all of my visa applications.

6. If they reject my ILR application before 10 years what other options do I have?

Please help and answer above question? I know some questions do not make sense but long delay in my application 2 interviews on ILR stage and good SAR report these all factors just blanked my mind and I am confused. Thanks in Advance

1. Can I vary my dependent’s application from PBS dependent to ILR? Will it affect my current ILR application because it is now too long and complex our ILR application process, that is the reason I did not vary her application to ILR till date. I have all the documents ready application form is done only I need to make payment.

Yes if the 5 years is complete

2. If my ILR application is rejected or I apply for ILR 10 Years base, will we lose all the money for PBS dependent visa and ILR dependent visa and IHS?

Yes you lose the fees

3. If I apply for 10 years ILR what will I do to get my dependent visa will I lose all the fees for her? Will I have to reapply visa for her and what dependent visa? Will I need to show 18,000 salary? which I can’t not in that short period of time.

You have to vary her application to either FLR(M) 5 year route or FLR(FP) the 10 year route as she will not be eligible for ILR if you get ILR under long residence. FLR(M) has income requirement

4. One solicitor advised to one of my friend that If I am working for my company I have to show 12 months’ payslip in order to apply for dependent visa showing £18,000. What is your suggestion?

You have to submit your latest self assessment as a director of company for FLR(M). Payslips are not accepted from a company director

5. Should I contact any solicitor to discuss my case? I do not trust them as I applied on my own all of my visa applications.

I suggest to wait and try to get ILR under SET(O). It will be cheaper and your dependents will also get ILR

6. If they reject my ILR application before 10 years what other options do I have?

Then you have to see why it was refused and then seek advice then as the next move will depend on the reasons for refusal

Hi Khanbhai, do you have the proper office or VO? do you mind to tell more about your nature of business and how many employment do you have before applying for ILR. I received the same complex issue letter almost at the 6months of my application been made to HO. Just wondering why there is a long wait and exact scenarios for the complex letter. Thanks

Employees were present at time of interview they interviewed one of my employee as well. Every documents (soft and hard copies) was provided at time of interview, each and every transaction in bank and in general ledger explained, every entry in Financial report explained (profit and loss statement and balance sheet). They checked all years employees holiday pay sheets, employees rota and took picture of our notice board. they checked all our invoices, sales ledger, clients contract, expenses invoices, our current projects with clients.

We have 5 to 7k business transactions every month. First interview lasted 20 minutes second Interview for 40 minutes by same interview team. I don't know what they want from us now?

I have further few questions If any member can help

1. If I apply ILR visa 10 years route and after that apply for wife dependent visa FLR (M) 5 years route, in order to complete income requirement can I combine my self-assessment (director salary for 1 year) + dependent salary income(6 months)?

2. Second scenario after getting my 10 years visa If I apply dependent visa FLR (FP) 10 years route, will the 10 years count from the time she came to UK 2014 or after my ILR grant date 2019?

3. Can I start new business as self-employed or director of new company? It will be retail business and I will continue this business as it successfully running, does the nature of business affect my current visa application?

You should read Appendix 1.7 to understand what can and cannot be combined etc.

2. Second scenario after getting my 10 years visa If I apply dependent visa FLR (FP) 10 years route, will the 10 years count from the time she came to UK 2014 or after my ILR grant date 2019?

FLR(FP) will be a NEW 10 year route, 4 x 2.5 year visas. However ALL visas she has held would count for ILR based on long residence if she meets the requirements.
