Yes this is a normal generic email. Also, many receive monthly automated emails. In my case I only received the first email and nothing after that so dont worry if you do not receive the following monthly emails.Mak9878 wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2019 12:42 pmHi Tier1147,
Got a general email from UKVI stating following:
"We are emailing you to confirm that your recent Home Office application is still under consideration and we expect to make a decision within 6 months of the date of your application, which is our service standard. If we are unable to process your application within 6 months we will tell you as soon as possible.
Our web page contains further information about our service standards and other information that you may find helpful with regard to your application.
If there is a change in your circumstances, please contact us using this link: https://www.gov.uk/change-circumstances-visa-brp
You will be notified of the outcome of your application in writing."
I hope everyone must have received it
Unfortunately there is no constructive feedback on this issue so far. If you are saying so, please update this thread with what happened after your friend’s interview so other members can benefit from that also.Mak9878 wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2019 10:10 amHi Tier1147, Aman90 and others.
One of my friend's friend has received a letter to his solicitor for interview, stating that
" We aim to solve application within Six Months but it is not going to happen in your case. We would like to interview you and date, time and event will follow in next letter"
His friend's application has been pending since more than six months on Tier 1 Entrepreneur to ILR Set (O).
Has anyone received same letter when applied on his own or through solicitor?
And if yes, did they get any 2nd letter for date, time and event? And after how long time?
Thanks
Which people?moongesture wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2019 11:20 amYes, quite a few people has been asked for Interview sessions at this stage and the question you might be interested in asking the concerned applicant is about the nature of the business activities he/she is engaged and way they have invested & performed in the business.
So if you could please ask those people in your social surroundings and update so it benefits other members also. Until then, there is uncertainty to how true this news is.moongesture wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2019 1:02 pmReferring cases are “non-forum” but personal experiences from social surroundings & some who have reported here. My awareness and knowledge was shared in previous post where i described the potential areas but these are not limited as if someone has some unique issue which need to be addressed with HO they expect something otherwise.
You are correct that surprisingly people who have reported Interview call in forum are either disappeared or ignored to contribute their experiences and left people with confusion and unnecessary pressure.
So then they are actually interviewing some applicants.moongesture wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2019 6:57 pmYes I have already covered the summary in other post. What I have been shared by applicants for T1-ILR a) it’s HO Site interviews b) questions were brief about Investment, Business Operations & process, competitiveness, compliance, employment.
True. HO target especially applicants working from home to check genuineness.Mak9878 wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 6:33 amThanks for your replies.
His friend has just received this letter around 3-4 days back, he used to run management consultancy from office during extension period and now he runs from home. He has not been interviewed in extension period.
When he will receive 2nd letter regarding time, date, and location. He will definitely update my friend about his experience.
What I can conclude from social surrounding and this forum experience that they are conducting interviews especially to those people who are either working from home or who has not been interviewed during extension.
One more thing, when you have representative then HO send the interview letter, else they contact applicant directly to visit office.
Yes will definitely update but he has not got second letter yet about date, time and location of interview. Still waitingAmjadalisarobi wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 1:26 pmPlz share your experience after interview as your friend inform you , here two guys share the same news about interviews but as we ask the detail later they dessapear , we are here to help each other , so if you help that will be appreciated , thanks
You can change your business address at any point in time depending on your business needs. Notify that to HO as soon you do it. I would recommend you write a cover letter mentioning your Case ID and send via recorded delivery.Mak9878 wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 10:50 amHi Marcnath, Zimba, Tier1147, Aman90 and all other members,
As you all know well that my ILR Set-O applicatikn is pending and will soon apply for Mrs PBS Dependent.
My current (last in payrol) leaving employment at the end of month. And I am not planning to hire any new employees for few months due to very high expenses and business is quite slow at the moment.
While all other business documents are fine.
I am planning to move my Registered Office Address (currently at home address in seperate dedicated room) because I may be leaving the renting property due to issue with landlord over fixing in end of contract in two months.
And Furthermore, our first baby is due in September/October and in case, if not moving, then have to covert office room for baby.
Is it good idea to change Registered Office Address while ILR application is pending into Virtual office for a while?
If i change Registered Office Addresss, Do I need to inform HO by writing or email asap?
I have seen T1 Extension Refusal with breach of condition of stay without interview 322(3) when they tallied record with hmrc (link http://www.immigrationboards.com/uk-tie ... 73-20.html) regarding working few days/months after grant of initial T1 Ent visa in payroll.
I have kind of similar situation working after grant of Initial for 1.5 months in payroll (including notice period) but luckily it was not caught up in extension, i belive.
But this time I am really upset to see above case and not hoping really good this time.
I am completing 10 years in March 2020 and now thinking about gaining time and praying that application goes pending for long.
Any suggestion please. Very upset to see above case.
Thanks
It should not be a problem. While you have clearly violated the terms of your T1E visa, HO can exercise discretion and this is a case that deserves that discretion.Mak9878 wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 1:09 pmThanks Tier1147 for your reply.
Basically I did not work intentially. I had already informed employer that i will leave job in May 2014 whether i get decision or not.
I applied same March 2014 and decision came end of same month in just 20 working days with approval letter.
As there were severe delays going on at that time in March-April 2014, I thought may be it is kind of mistake.
This assumption became more strong when BRP did not arrive for over 2 weeks. which put me in more thinking whether i give notice of job or not or it is mistake from HO to process so quickly. Then i had to chase up brp issuance department, and when received brp it had diffenent issue date (i.e. 20 days after visa approval letter).
Then I gave notice of 1 month. That was the story.
I spoke at that time to friends and solicitors about quiting job. They said 1-2 month continuing job does not matter, wait for your brp first.
I got my initial Tier 1 visa in 20 days and many did also at that time so you should not have assumed that it was a mistake when you had your approval letter, that is no excuse.Mak9878 wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 1:09 pmThanks Tier1147 for your reply.

Exactly. This is what happened with me. My employer was not aware of my PSW visa expiry. I myself told them about my Tier 1 initial approval letter and I urged them to terminate my employment right away. But still there might be an overlap of 3/4 days.marcnath wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 2:00 pmIt should not be a problem.

However, for others who may read this, there is no need to serve notice once you have changed you visa.
Your earlier visa is no longer valid once the new visa is issued and your employer has to terminate your employment once they are aware you no longer have a valid visa.
In this case, the employer could be found at fault by HO for continuing to have kept you on payroll.
As long as your BRP states 16th April, you are in a better position. Sometimes one does not get approval letter so you can just consider BRP date.Mak9878 wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 2:25 pmSame issue was with employer at my side.
But I could not tell him after approval letter to be frank as friends and solicitors have totally confused me that wait for BRP.
But that was fact, I was myself leaving job in May 2014 , employer was well aware about that since application submitted. But bit my mistake that i should have done it, as i was leaving job already.
Date of approval letter: 30 March
Date of BRP: 16 April
Received brp: around a week after 16 april
Lets wait and see, what happens.
