Assistance needed for my ILR - further docs required

[rkrishna707]

Dear Group,

I need your assistance very urgently and badly...

Here is my situation:
I've applied for ILR on 15-Feb-2013 under PEO appointment at Croydon. I've submitted all the documents required for processing.

I've been working as a Contractor (sole director - own limited company) from last Sep'12. So submitted all contract agreements, invoices, accountant reference letter, profit & loss statement, business bank statements, personal bank statement,s accountant invoice summary, dividend vouchers...etc
( In my last 12 months of earnings period, I've been employed as permenant for 7 months and as contractor for 5 months. And as contractor I've been with client1 from sep12 to till date and in between worked additionally for client2 for just 2 days)

So submitted documents related to both contract agreements, invoices....etc..etc

But, after case worker reviewed my application (almost 4hrs) she asked me to submit some more documents to process and take a decision.

I'm completly shocked initially but luckily rather than decline my application, she mentioned to submit these additonal docs with in 14days.

here is the list:

1. Letters from agent1 and agent2 on their company letter headed & signed by a director confirming the details of business services received from you in respect of client1 & client2 and the details payments made to you.

2. Please submit us the evidence of the services provided to agent1 & agent2 for client1 & client2 in support of the invoices drawn on these companies. (we expect to see any written correspondence exchanged and any reports which you have submitted for these clients)

3. Please advise us on your level of expertiese which enables you to provide these services to your clients. We expect to see certificates, certifications and letters showing your acquisition of these skills.


So regarding these 3 points, please adise me what documents would be sufficient for case worker. And share me the experience if anybody got similar situation.


Thanks in advance.

whats the problem in that. Simple get a letter from your clients i.e directors / manager on company letter head and tell them to write brief description of the work you did including dates.Make sure it should be brief.

for second make some sort of report the work you did. or if you have email or calls exchanged then submit those evidence like phone bills or emails.

for the 3rd one i'm sure you should have relevant qualifications i.e if you have show you are an IT person you shouldn't have done work of accountant.

from your post i have observe you have submitted evidence of poor nature.

My sincerely advice to you is make correspondence through solicitor now . Solicitor do not worth for straight forward applications but it do worth a lot for complex and other applications. please do not send by yourself its my advice.

if you tell us bit more about your case i.e what work you did and you submitted and what qualification you hold then one can give you more advice.

Hi,

I see that you have submitted all the required documentation at the first instance itself. In fact, I see that you have provided 'contract agreements' and Tax documents. I see that the additional documents required by them can be a straight forward details, which is good. But this means that the decision is delayed now.

Get the asked documents from your clients about your services from your company (mention the reg no and VAT no (if applicable) ), and provide the degree certificates and earlier employment offer letters for proof.

Wanted to know your current visa, is it Tier 1 G ?
Were any of your invoices were paid by cash ?
Are you qualifying for the points only after adding the Client 2 (2 day) work ?

All the best

[rkrishna707]

Thanks chary for your valuable information.

As requested,
1. Yes I'm on Tier 1 general
2. Nope, all the payments were made online business account
3. Nope, have plenty of room for qualifying without those 2days. Only thing is that 2days payment was clearly visible in business statement. Thats why included in my earnings.

Hope this helps.

And, as you mentioned that those documents would be get it from client? agent? because client would not be responsible for any payments made to me...right?

And, what would be the best supporting evidence for request 2.
As case worker asked me for "reports" which I've submitted to client. what does this report means?


Please advise.

Regards,

Correct, in your case, Agent(s) can certify about your services to the client(s)

For request 2, I can think of the following
1. Time Sheets which will be usually submitted for invoicing.
2. Any 'business communications' which you have done in your official email addresses or to client's official email addresses as part of your daily work.

your case should be straight forward 'approval' after giving the documents asked for.
