You are eligible to apply for ILR from July 2019 given you meet the job creation requirement. You fall under the exception rule i.e. given you apply before May 2020, lets say in Feb 2020, you can claim for job creation for the last 12 months immediately from the date of ILR application.

If you have 2 FT JOBS that existed at least 12 months each between July 2018 and July 2019, you can even apply for ILR now.

2) Yes your wife will apply for ILR on SET(O) also given she has completed 5 years as a PBS dependent.

3) She will fill her own form but it will be under your main account as your partner.

You both need Life in UK, English Requirements, Cohabitation docs for the last 2 years.

Sorry I just noticed, your second job started in Jan 2019. Yes the earliest you can apply is Jan 2020 given you have both jobs that exist for 12 months each between Jan 2019 and Jan 2020. Note you can only claim jobs in that period given the above scenario as you will fall under the exception rule.
Note: Its 2 FT “jobs” NOT employees.

If you apply anytime after May 2020, you will have to count job creation from May 2019 only AFTER your extension was approved.

If you wife qualifies at the same time as you, you apply together on ONE form, SET(O).

Only if the employment started on 1st Jan 2019 till 31st Dec 2019, OP can apply earliest on 1st Jan 2020. If employment started later on in Jan 2019, then needs till Jan 2020 (Jan 19 - Jan 20 RTI FPS in this case).

EU Employee regarding brexit deal or no deal

Post by abo1 » Fri Aug 30, 2019 10:22 am

Hello, I have employed a EU national with permanent residence card since 2016 till date.
My question: -
Can I still use him to fulfil employment requirement when I apply at the end of January 2020 due to brexit deal or no deal?
Or Do I need to employee a brit to fulfil that role? Even though it was on the Gov website that the EU national working in the country still have up to December 2020 if leave without a deal and June 2021 if leave with a deal to regularise their status.
Please do let me know what is next.

You are required to hire a person with settled status. You indeed hired a person with settled status in the UK. Brexit is irrelevant in this context

For cohabitation docs, you need to show documents for the last 2 years (from date of application) from 4/5 different sources every 3/4 months covering the 2 year period.
For example: council tax bill, tenancy/mortgage papers. joint bank account bills, NHS letter, UK driving license, sky/virgin contract etc. Ideally a couple docs in joint names otherwise top it up with solo names but same address as best you can provide.

Passport: It should be only valid at the date of application and your UKVCAS appointment so you will be okay.

Re: Tier 1 entrepreneur ilr 5year route - VAT investigation

Post by abo1 » Thu Oct 03, 2019 10:16 am

Good morning, please I would like to know if current VAT investigation and outstanding can affect the outcome of my ILR applications. HMRC figure is different from company figure and I have asked this to be audited by the HMRC. Will this affect the outcome of my application as it may take a longer time to resolve.

1. For EEA citizens, it should be their passport copy or their ID
2. Cohabitation can be any document, 3 sources, in the last two years

Sorry to bother you, I have seen I previous post where machant said the national ID card from EU-France itself is not enough so I was confused. Can I use the UK registration certificate dated 4/2012 without an expiry date instead if the national ID card can be an issue.
Please help me.

Maintainance Evidence

Post by abo1 » Fri Jan 03, 2020 12:40 pm

==evidence of your ability to maintain and accommodate yourself and any dependants without recourse to public funds ==

I have read on the forum that maintainance fund is not required but i still have to proof my ability to maintain myself and any dependant.

can i still show that i have saving of less than 90 days or 30 days in the bank? is that still acceptable or it has to be 90days?

I have got an account where all my monthly expenses are deducted but have not much fund in it. Can that be used to proof that i can support myself or any dependant still?

Thank you for your response.

There is no maintenance requirement for ILR. Provide bank statements to show you will not be needing public funds
