Hope you are all doing good. I am about to submit my application for ILR based on the completion of 5 years on T1 Entrepreneur Visa. I just need few clarifications while filling up the form to make sure there are no mistakes. Also I am putting here the list of documents I will be sending to UKVI along with my application.
COVER LETTER FOR THE APPLICATION
Folder 1 - PERSONAL FOLDER OK
1. SET (O) Form.
2. Life in the UK Test Certificate.
3. Pictures with details on the back.
4. Passport & BRP Card.
Folder 2 - EMPLOYEE FOLDER
1. FPS & RTI submission. Ok
2. Employee's Payslips & Status confirmation docs like passports & BRP (Indefinite leave to remain). OK
3. Accountant letter confirming the creation of 2 full time jobs. Optional unless you have joined/taken over the business
4. Shall I send the payslips for all employees or just the ones on the basis of which I am claiming?Your choice. Having some extra is always good in case there is some inadvertent error
Folder 3 - BUSINESS FOLDER
1. Accounts for the last year Not a required document
2. Letter from the accountant confirming the investment in the form of Director Loan. Not a required document
3. Business Bank Statements - 90 days & letter from Bank confirming the status of business account.
4. Companies House Report
5. Company Insurance Docs. Not a required document
Tax document is a mandatory one
I am under the transitional arrangement - I have more than 2 employees working for me, so the job creation details I will enter in the form will be for the date I have hired the employee or just the period I am claiming the employment for (which is after receiving my extension visa) (Reason I am asking this is I hired 1 employee while my extension application was with UKVI & the other employee was initially working PT but then became full time in the same role). Start date is start date, not your extension date
1 FT employee since NOV 2016
1 FT employee since Mar 2018
received my visa in May 2017 so starting from June 17, 1 FT job is for 17 months till Oct 18 and still continuing . The other employee was hired as PT in Dec 17 but started FT from March 18, so 1 FT job till Oct 18 is for 8 months. (this is also continue).
This makes a total of 24 months of employment. OK
***********************************************************************************************************************************
Also I am sending my wife's visa for renewal & for that I have filled Tier 1 PBS Dependent form.
What documents do I need to send along with this form? Maintenance funds
Also shall I post these both forms (i.e SET O for me & Tier 1 PBS Dependent form) together in 1 same package? Yes
SET O Form Queries:
Do I need to fill section 5? Yes, but it is not a critical one for T1E
YOUR HOME & FINANCES
If yes, do I need to mention both mine and my wife's wages as they ask about Rent & If you are working in the UK and then also about the wages? Yes
Section 10 - BRP
10.13 - Date your fingerprints were taken?
I am unable to remember the exact date when I gave my fingerprints. (What can I do about it)
Shall I just put in the full address of the post office where I gave my fingerprints? (Will this be okay)?
Do the best estimate. I found my credit card statement to get the date. But again, this is not critical
Bundle of thanks in advance!
There is no requirement for 90 day statement as ILR applications don't need to show maintenance.
Correct
If you plan to register him for British citizenship, he does not need ILR.
You can do either. But it makes sense to do it with yours as the decision will anyway only be made together

However, note that he will be an overstayer once his current visa expires. However, it will not affect his British Citizenship registration and has little practical impact.

You've said if I am not applying ILR for my son along with me then it will have a little practical impact. Can you please explain what sort of practical impact this will have?Kfr1432 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 6:11 pmMany thanks for your quick and helpful response.marcnath wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 3:18 pmThere is no requirement for 90 day statement as ILR applications don't need to show maintenance.CorrectIf you plan to register him for British citizenship, he does not need ILR.

By saying business bank statement, I mean limited company statements for 90 days not the maintenance once. Do you think it is mandatory or optional. I am bit scaptical about it please advise.
Moreover can you please share your covering letter please.
The business bank statement is mandatory according to the guidance to claim points for business activity where you have to prove your company has a UK bank account. BUT there is NO requirement for 90 days of business bank statements or requirement for the latest one. You have to send atleast one month only OR a letter from the bank will qualify too.Kfr1432 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 6:11 pmMany thanks for your quick and helpful response.marcnath wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 3:18 pmThere is no requirement for 90 day statement as ILR applications don't need to show maintenance.CorrectIf you plan to register him for British citizenship, he does not need ILR.

You need a business bank statement or a letter from the bank. No need for 90 days business bank statement.
You will probably get a letter from HO saying your son is an overstayer. As per the NHS rules, he would have to pay for NHS but I haven't heard of anyone being charged as yet. If you wanted to create a bank account for him to save, you cannot. And so on. None that I can think has a practical problem.
It is a new system, so you may have to actually try out the system to know exactly what you need to do. It will tell you whether you need to book within 14 days. Yes, Sopra is supposed to scan and return the documents in most cases. If they need you to post it, they will let you know as part of the application process.Kfr1432 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 3:49 pmThanks for your precious response.
I have completed online application for me and my Mrs. Now I have to book Sopra appointment for biomatric. Do we have to do it within 14 days of the application and how do we submit our documents. Does Sopra scan and return the document during biomatric appointment or do we have to post UKVA.
Can you please explain the procedure.
Moreover I have included utility bills and NHS Letters for me and my Mrs for last 2 years within Cohabitation file. Do you think that should be fine.
Please share your covering letter if possible.
Thanks in advance for your help.
How are you doing a contract work that needs ECS under T1E visa ? Are you sure you are not in violation of your visa terms /Kfr1432 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 4:50 pmMoreover, I'm am a contractor and my agency asking me for case ID to run ECS (Employer Checking service) do you think I should let them do this or should I do it myself and provide them the HO letter confirming I'm still eligible to work under my current status while my visa application in process.
HMRC documentation is necessary to prove your company is registered for corporation tax. The guidelines keep on changing so as per the new guidelines it is required.Kfr1432 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 8:29 pmThanks. I've booked the normal appointment in which Sopra will do the biomatric and scanning of the documents. Not to bother for the premium service.
ECS is only to confirm my clients my eligibility to continue with the business activities. There are few clients who can ask this before commencing any business.
Furthermore did you attach any HMRC letter ie CT41G or any other. I can't see this in your list of docs within your cover letter.
Thanks

You do NOT pay the IHS if you are applying for ILR
I'm attaching HMRC letter but to cover the business bank statements am attaching bank letter confirming business account of my limited company. Do you think that would cover the requirement?marcnath wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 9:20 pmOk about the ECS check.Kfr1432 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 8:29 pmThanks.
