Can anyone shed more light to these, please? We are on Tier 1 Gen (3+2) and self employment during the extension but full time employment during the ILR.
After the HO have asked for proof that we declare tax to HMRC (though, declared the ffg year and paid all the tax owe after we did the extension) when we did extension which we provided for them a month plus now. We received another letter today asking to come for an interview and bring proof of National Insurance Number (NINO) along for the interview.
Please, anyone know why the HO asking for this again? Any quick and relevant answer, hint or info would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you Muruguan and congrats on your ILR. It was attended.

Sorry everyone, I haven't visit the page in a recent time.

The interview was attended and pLease note that everything about the applications are genuine and there wasn't problem or much questions from caseworker concerning my spouse employment used for ILR application but many questions still based on the self employment used for extension.

I'm ok with all the questions she said they asked her and the responses so far except for one and this was only due to the fact that I know she's always nervous when it comes to some certain level but I just need to know if anyone have an idea what might be the outcome as am very sure at this stage, caseworker will use his/her discretion. The question was that: Do you pay any fee on your self employment and she responded NO. She said they were rushing the questions (simple ones concerning her self employment) at that time. Is accountant fee not part of fee paying while someone is on self employment, pls? This is my fear about it. Any idea, pls?

Hi All,

I have not seen any message on this thread since Sun 21st Jun 2015. So nobody actually received anything during that time ?

@Masif, just exactly my thought as I was thinking and asking myself if there is something wrong with this thread after my last post.

Anyways, will soon update my timeline because I got home now and missed card from DX asking for re-delivery which I will do asap as am sure that's a great news coming.

Thanks again everyone who has contributed in answering one or two questions during the process, this forum was really helpful with a lot of hope but my only regret was if had known this forum before the application, there would have been some documents that we would have included before the first letter was sent and it would have helped in quickening the application.
All the best to the rest who are still awaiting their results.

Hi just to ask you mentioned about receiving the letter of discrepancies in tax so what happened after that did you sent any more documents to support or explained in interview I don't know if that possible if you could tell that will be great
Thanks

Yes @adnaankhan1, actually the money made during the extension as indicated to the HO in the application wasn't declared to the HMRC in the same year the application was made but was declared in the ffg year and the tax on it were all paid. So, the statement was printed out and sent with full explanation about it.

Thanks

Hi all. Thank you for the information here. It is much appreciated.

I am hoping that by posting, more will reply to this and add their own experiences just as an update.

Really stressful and I hope it works out for everyone.

Hi All,

For benefit of others, below are my timelines for ILR application. I applied by Post and payed via cheque, just before fee increase.

Date of Application - 30 Mar 2015
Date of payment debit - 07 Apr 2015
Date of Biometric letter - 13 Apr 2015
Date Biometric given - 15 Apr 2015
Documents received - 10 Jul 2015
BRP received - 18 Jul 2015

Hi All,

I applied for a biometric card on Friday 17th July 2015 as I found I could not provide the correct documentation to a future employer of my right to work in the UK, despite having been a resident and having ILR for over 20 years. ILR document is in my original passport.

My timescale is:

Sent postal application - 17/07/15
Credit card debited - 23/07/15


If anyone knows or had experience of how I can prove my right to work, I would be grateful! What is a positive verification notice and is it relevant?

Thanks

Still waiting for approval...

Based on my previous research using the Google doc available online, SET(LR) and SET(O) were quite fast just before election in May and after the election I noticed all application are taking ages to process. I applied for ILR in Jan of this year and everything was processed in less than 8 weeks but there's a mistake with my documents, my silly solicitor did not submit the English test and in view of this, My application was rejected for ILR however, I was given further leave to remai for 2 years

Everything is quite slow cause am following the Google doc everyday and I notice it is better to go premium if your application is straightforward but if you are happy are WAIT for 6 months then go for it.

Spot on, I have similar feeling i think UKBA is now following new policy.
