Regarding PEO Glasgow
Regarding documents

A query to those who had got(or going to apply) their ILR on Tier-1 entrepreneur category after.

I am on Tier-1 Entrepreneur. Have ILR appointment in few days in Glasgow and heard that they ask to fill a form related self assessment. I asked my accountant but he said that I don’t need if my income/dividends vouchers are below £5000. And also don’t need to register as self employed because company director/ share holder is also self employed. According to accountant and from some other sources these information are required for just Tier 1 General.
Please share if anybody have information related this.

Advance thanks

Hi all,

I'm also trying to book my PSC Croydon premium appointment online but it keeps saying "We do not have any appointments in the next 42 days at your selected location". I'm currently on a purple visa, and now I want to apply for a blue certificate (CR1). For two weeks now, online I cannot do anything.

When should I refresh the page - during the day, night, which days? I do not see any calendar dates for choosing. Thank you in advance for all suggestions.

Updates on my Last post:

Sorry it is out of thread question. but worthy to directly ask from people with ILR.


Q. PPL who got ILR from Tier 2 G visa , do they submitted their degree as well (requirement other than english knowledge)?

It is not required to submit your degree unless you are proving it for the English Language requirement. If you have taken any other Test like Trinity / Toefl at the B1 level then you only need to submit these test results and nothing else.

Hi J20
Its me who asked this question a month before but didn't get any reply. According to me you don't need to register as self employed as i didn't. Even don't need to register for self assessment as you are a company director. Many accountants says that you must register for self employed and then apply for slef assessment but there is no need at all.
good luck

Thanks a lot bandesha. Much appre

Thanks mate, Actually It was addressed as 'To whom so ever it may concerned'

hi sajid
dont worry about supporting documents. just give them if they ask, don't show them in mine case he has seen it, you should take with you but give them on demand. that's not the requirement of long term residence I think so. senior member can advise you better on this

Thanks brother .

Hi J20
Many congrts. I also brought many supporting documents with me. He asked me same question "if i want to submit with my application?" I said NO and told him to right a note that i have and if need then ask from me.
In my personal view no need to submit any extra document so no extra questions.
Anyways again congrtulations and good luck for future.
