50k extension approved after 10 months

[ogogzy]

Hi All,
The post is just to encourage those still waiting. My timeliness below:

Applied: 25th October, 2017 (same day last leave was expiring)
Biometric done: 27/11/2017
Complex letter: 24/11/2017
2nd complex letter: 10/04/2018
Approval letter: 13/08/2018
IHS Refund: 13/08/2018
Brp card: 14/08/2018
No interview

Documents: No extra documents apart from the ones in the tier 1 guide online. I did not include the bank statement for 3 years, rather, I added the ones showing the 50k transfer in 4 installments. Also did not add any contract or invoices.
The extra bit I did was to segment the documents with a clearly labelled Post-It note.

Also note that my maintenance fund dipped by £50 on a certain date but I was able to add the shortage before the end of that day (I highlighted this on my bank statement).

I hope this is helpful.

Congratulations!

So you got the complex letter even before the biometric?

Sorry I have now edited the post to show the correct dates.
Thanks, the 1st complex letter was 3 days after I did my biometric

Oh right, I see, thank you.
Were both the letters exactly the same in terms of content?

I included only the documents specified in the application guidance. Nothing extra. The business bank statement I added was the parts showing the transfer of the 50k investment from my personal account. I highlighted this .

Also the proofs that I employed settled workers. I used their UK passports for this.

I did not add any document that was not required in the guidance and I nearly arranged and labelled all the documents accordingly.

Hope this helps you
