Tier 1 Ent -ILR Waiting almost a year

zimba cant we do anything about inhuman behaviour of the HO ?? there must be something , 26 week inself is too much but 52 weeks and no reply is not acceptable.

Question is we are not asking HO to provide free or subsidised service we are paying more than the cost still we are treated this way ?

Can Gurus Please advise

I have applied for ILR under Tier 1 Entrepreneur (50k) as a Team in January 2019.

My wife who was also qualified for ILR applied along with me. I have got UK born son who was now 4 years old I haven't applied anything for him as he was born in UK.

It has been More than 1 YEAR and no response from UKVI. In August 2019 after escalating issue via local MP I have received a letter saying that they are waiting checks to complete from other government agency which I predict its HMRC.

Apart from that no update - All my text returns ,PAYEE all are up to date.

I'm following my local MP but no response. I'm really helpless, tired and don't know what to do.

I do have Family back home and I do have concerns back home


Gurus like Zimba,can you please advise how to proceed in this situation

Hi rajrea, oh oh can't believed your decision is still pending. I'm in the same boat, they have sent a letter to local MP and said the same thing government checks
Try to keep chasing them, send emails, letters and twitter posts on UKVI handler. I can feel the pain of waiting for this long as I'm doing the same and now over 10 months. I will suggest you, as I'll do the same in 2 weeks PAP letter. Atleast they have to answer that letter with reasoning, best of luck to you and me !! Thanks

Exactly, agreed with teddybear79 !!

It’s really unfortunate that people can be made to go through frustration like this. You just have to keep calling them until they also become tired of your calls and answer you. It is quite frustrating to say the least.

Your frustration is totally understandable however the advice remains the same. I am afraid you need to wait to hear back from UKVI.

Thank you Zimba for your reply

Hi Gurus,

I have received a email from Home Office today requesting to attend for an interview.
Its been 14 Months long wait and know scheduled an interview at UKVI London. I have applied as T1 Ent 50k ILR as a team but my team member hasn't got interview.

I'm preparing my self for an interview and got few questions.

My 10 yr route was due April 2021.

Do I need to take all relevant documents with me in case if they want to request for additional documents ?
Or Will they give me a time to send the requested documents.

On the interview letter its requested to bring proof of National Insurance - Is it normal ?

After the interview - If result was not in my favour can I switch / apply for Tier 2 ?


Thanks in Advance

After all this wait they're taking an interview which is not fair

Where they've asked you to come for an interview? Croydon or Harrow ?? Are you still having an office and doing the business like normal?

Please do take all your Tax and company related documents, as this checks pending thing is looks something to related to TAX. I have waited almost an year and now believe that they'll at some point ask me for an interview too I'll be eagerly following your thread and wish you all the best for the interview mate, hope you'll get success in this interview and please post the questions asked in the interview here. Thanks alot and best of luck

Hi All,

I have applied for ILR via 5 Year Tier-1 Entrepreneur 50k route and still waiting for decision here is my timeline

Initial Tier 1 Ent - Jan 2014

Applied for T1 Ent extension - January 2017

Received T1 Ent extension - April 2017

Applied for ILR on 5 Year T1 Ent - January 2019

Received and Attended an interview regarding my ILR - Decision still pending


Note : Interview was okay it is about Genuinity of business and my team member is about to give his interview next week and he completed his 10 YEAR route as well.

My 10 year route will be completed by April 2021 and I'm eligible to apply my 10 YEAR ILR in next march 2021

My question is

Can I apply for Tier -2 general if I get rejection on my ILR through T1 Entrepreneur ?

My solicitor advised to vary before decision has made as it may break my 10 year leave break
as my Tier 1 Entrepreneur extension was expired in April 2019

Please Seniors and Gurus advise whether I need to wait till I get the decision on my ILR or varying before getting the deccision.

You can vary your application

You can vary your application

Hi Zimba My question is

Can I apply for Tier -2 general if I get rejection on my ILR through T1 Entrepreneur ? as my T1 Extension visa is expired in April 2019

My solicitor advised to vary before decision has made as it may break my 10 year leave break - Is this True

I'm confused whether to wait for HO decision on m ILR or to vary before getting a decision

Vary before a decision is made and avoid risk of overstaying

If you don’t mind can you explain the question they asked from you during your interview , and how long was your interview ? Is the interview was in your office ?
