My Successful ILR Application Journey After 3 Years on GTV : with own compnay– Details and Tips

[hirennc]

Hi,
Request your help as I am not able to find details on my specific case.

I am the recipient of the Global Talent Visa.

I am eligible for ILR on 15 Sept 2023. I entered the country on 10 Dec 2018 on a student visa and converted to a global talent visa on 15th Sept 2020.

I have only one dependent – my son –who will be 10 years old in Sept 2023. His BRP expires on 15 Sept 2023. He also entered the country as a dependent on a student visa on 10 Dec 2018.

My questions are:

1. Can he apply for ILR on Sept 2023 or does he need to extend the visa.

2. If he needs to extend the visa will he be eligible for ILR on 10th Dec 2023 – 5 years from the date of entry or 15th Sept 2025 – 5 years from Global Talent Visa? Should we extend his visa for 1 yr or 2 years?

Thank you very much for answering.

Regards,
Hiren

Children do NOT have a min residency requirement for ILR. Children can settle when both parents settle. Otherwise, they follow the immigration path of the less privileged parent. Also note that an extension visa period is fixed, you do not get to choose

Hello everyone,

I wanted to express my sincere thanks to this community and moderators for providing invaluable insights that helped me prepare my Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) application for 3 years on Global Talent Visa. I'm thrilled to share that my application has been approved.

Application Details
• Service Used: Super Priority Appointment (I managed to book a free appointment). Took Super Priority options as normal options takes long and cant travel till BRP is received. So paid for super priority appointment.
• Application Center: Hemel Hempstead Library, HP1 1DN. I would highly recommend as it is conveniently located with nearby parking options. The library offers seating areas, and the staff were courteous. Not many people at the centre.
• Biometric Appointment: Conducted on the 21st at 11:10 am
• Approval: Received approval email at 3:58 pm on the same day
Status: Awaiting BRP (Biometric Residence Permit)
Employment Details:
• Employment Status: Self-employed.
• Income: Dividend income and salary (via PAYE) from my own company
• Business: Own a company under a single SIC code of 62090 – Other Information Technology Services Activities
Documents Submitted
Mandatory:
• Passport: Note that I included all pages, even the blank ones, as I believe they check the periods you've spent outside the UK through visa stamps.
Additional Documents:

2. A letter from an accountant, stating:
a. I hold a 100% share of the company and am a director.
b. The company is currently engaged in digital technology work.
c. Company profit for two years.
d. Salary, and dividend income information.
e. Specified UTR, NI and company name and registration number – so that they can pull out the tax details (which I paid in full to date)
3. Due to the absence of a P60, my Chartered Accountant advised me to submit:
a. SA302 for two years.
b. SA100 for two years.
c. HMRC SA100 submission response.
4. Dividend vouchers for the past two years.
5. Pay slips for the past two years: I only had one payslip per year, showing my salary processed via PAYE.
6. Tech Nation endorsement email (converted in PDF)
7. Old passport: This included details of my visits to the UK as a visitor many years ago.
8. Consent form Part A and Part B: Part B was submitted as my partner is also a director in the company, and full details were provided.

10. National Identity Card- UID Unique Identity Card- Aadhar from India
I hope this information is useful for those preparing for their ILR applications. Feel free to ask any questions, and good luck to all applicants!
