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:
1. A company's P&L and BS accounts, including figures from the previous year.
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.
9. Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).
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!
Best regards,
