The documents are more than enough, however is it ILR application or just an extension? If it is ILR she will need Life in UK certificate and English Language test certificate. Also I didn’t see your marriage certificate there as you mentioned she is your wife.

Usually proof of application category only asks for current passport and consent form (if applicable). But categories really do not matter as long as you upload all docs. Note what bizman said above.

Thanks Tier1147.

It is PBS Tier 1 Entrepreneur Dependent application. She has been here since nearly one year. So i am extending her on same route rather going on spouse route which will reset her clock.

Yes indeed Marriage Certicate (missed to write down- will upload in sponsors section).

A friend of mine told me that in pbs dependent you dont need proof of address (even tenancy agreement) for dependent

You should post your PBS Dependent extension questions in the Tier 1 Ent sub forum as it is NOT relevant to your ILR topic or the ILR sub forum!! It is just creating confusion!

Hi Tier1147, Marcnath, Zimba, Cr001 and Aman90.

Hope you all are at best of your health.

One interesting question. I just visited a family friend. And he has got his and family application approved in Feb 2019 via online submisson and attending sopra.

He told me an interesting and bit logical thing that, whenever you access your Sopra Steria account, you get an email that "someone/you accessed your account). It is fact, i do receive whenever I login into account.

On that basis, he meant to say when Case Worker open your account for downloading files from Sopra Steria to work on your case, you will get same access email that "someone/you accessed your account". So in this way, you come to know about the work has been started on your case.

Is this myth true?

I think it cant be true. As the same email also states “please call us ... if that was not you”. Cant be true cz of privacy breach. HO would have some other access to the documents already submitted by UKVCAS.

It can’t be true. They can’t access your documents through public means. Don’t forget that Sopria steria is working for them

Well, not sure. But he was pretty sure as he said that he did not open his Sopra Steria account after visiting them for SET LR submissio . And he got email after some time about accessing of account.

But even I doubt him.

If we are unable to process your application within 6 months we will tell you as soon as possible.

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.

Hi 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

Yes, 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.

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.

Referring 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 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.

Yes 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.

Thanks 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.

Hi 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
