Tier-1 Entrepreneur ILR 5 Route Query

Post by infinity_1106 » Sun Nov 25, 2018 11:48 am

Hi,
I am going to submit Tier-1 Entprepreneur ILR 5 Year route application in January 2019.

I have following queries:

1. Do we still need passport size photos? I cannot see anywhere about them anywhere since they launched new system.

2. I have 3 x passport. Do I need to scan each & every page? including blank pages?

3. When we go for an appointment to do biometric? Do they still check and take all the original documents, please note I will scan and upload all the documents before the appointment day.

4. The problem is some of the documents contain many page. If I scan them all, I believe this will exceed the file upload limit.

1) No

2) To be on the safe side, scan all pages but definitely the first 2 pages and all the pages having stamps on. (I personally would scan the whole passport that covers my 5 year qualifying period and not worry too much about the older passports (blank pages) as in my case I have 7 passports!)

3) As per my knowledge you have to take a hard copy (documents submitted) to the appointment even if you have uploaded the documents online.

4) There are many ways to decrease the file size. However, you can upload as many documents as you want “separately” if size per file is an issue. I heard 6MB per file is the limit.

I have few question regarding above application:

1. On application form, I have mentioned both employees job rate as current rate (£7.83). However the rate was initially £7.50 and then changed to £7.83. Should I split each employee details highlighting both rates or should I just enter latest pay rate (£7.83) and mention the whole period.

2. Can we take child on sopra appointment day? because me and spouse applying together. I am not sure whether we can take 2 year old child? Otherwise we need to arrange baby sit for child if it is not allowed to bring them at centre. Please note child is not applying with us because we will register as British citizen after ILR.

Thank you.

Initial Visa Granted: 21.02.2014
Extension Granted: 17.07.2017
Planning to Apply ILR: 26.01.2019 (Within 28 Days) I would give another 1-2 extra days to avoid applying just on the edge

Please check below documentation and advise if anything else required.

APPLICATION DOCUMENTS:

Covering Letter. optional
Passports. (Main Applicant)
Passports. (Dependent – Spouse)
Biometric Resident Permit. (Main Applicant)
Biometric Resident Permit. (Dependent - Spouse)
Master’s Degree Certificate - English Language. (Main Applicant)
Master’s Degree Certificate - English Language. (Dependent - Spouse)
Knowledge of Life in the UK Test Certificate. (Main Applicant)
Knowledge of Life in the UK Test Certificate. (Dependent - Spouse)

BUSINESS DOCUMENTS:
Current Appointment Report along with company filling history page.
Business Bank Account Statements. (Last 3 Months)1 months is enough also but good you have 3 months
HMRC Company Tax Return. (CT600)
HMRC Corporation Tax Registration. (CT41G)
HMRC PAYE Employer Registration. optional but I sent mine too

JOB CREATION DOCUMENTS:
RTI – Full Payment Submissions (FPS)
Hourly Rate Change Sheet. good as the online form does not allow to enter more than 1 rate

1st EMPLOYEE DOCUMENTS
Passport Copy.
Monthly Payslips. (12 Months)
Employee Payment Record. (P11) not required if employee was hired by your company and you did not take over
HMRC P45. not required

2nd EMPLOYEE DOCUMENTS
Passport Copy.
Monthly Payslips. (12 Months)
Employee Payment Record. (P11) not required atleast if the employee was only hired by your company and you did not take over
HMRC P45. same as above not required

COHABITATION DOCUMENTS: seems ok
Marriage Certificate
Joint Personal Bank Account Statements (3 Months).
Monthly Payslips (Last 3 Months Main Applicant & Dependent).
Property Ownership Documents.
Annual Mortgage Bank Statements.
Joint Council Tax Bills.
Joint Water Bills.
Joint Electricity Utility Bills.
Joint Gas Utility Bills.
Individual Barclay Card Annual Statements.
Individual Voter Registration Letters
Individual Poll Cards.
Individual GP NHS Registration Letters.
Individual HMRC National Insurance Letters.
Individual Mobile Contracts.

I have few question regarding above application:

1. On application form, I have mentioned both employees job rate as current rate (£7.83). However the rate was initially £7.50 and then changed to £7.83. Should I split each employee details highlighting both rates or should I just enter latest pay rate (£7.83) and mention the whole period. I had a similar case I just mentioned £7.83 on the application form and mentioned £7.50 in the cover letter or you can mention that in the hourly sheet you are providing above. I did it cz my employee was continous so easier to mention this way. Spliting causes confusion thats my opinion

2. Can we take child on sopra appointment day? because me and spouse applying together. I am not sure whether we can take 2 year old child? Otherwise we need to arrange baby sit for child if it is not allowed to bring them at centre. Please note child is not applying with us because we will register as British citizen after ILR. I went to london premium lounge so all children were allowed in even as young as few months old. I saw many children there. I think they will allow even at other centres but someone who went to core or enhanced centres can comfirm that

Thank you.
dont forget the consent forms for verification checks, all previous passports

At london premium lounge even spouses and children were allowed inside when only 1 partner was applying. So I am pretty sure they will be allowed in elsewhere also.

@Tier11417 Thank you for checking and responding quickly.

My 5 year residence completes on 21.02.2019 and if substract 28 days it comes to 25.01.2019. But I am apply on 26.01.2018 Just to be cautious. I think should be Ok because it is within period.

Yes, I have already include consent forms signed by both Main Applicant & Dependent.

Do you know can we make payment by credit card in online submission? would there be any penalty to pay by credit card?

There was like difference between paying by debit card or credit card. Companies used to charge extra if payment by credit card but I think government has changed the law regarding this. It is around 5K payment so I was thinking to pay by credit card.

Surcharge! Not penalty 😊.
Credit card surcharge has been banned since early 2018 in UK.
