Congratulation!!!

Hi All, A GREAT NEWS!!! Today I received my documents back (In the special delivery envelop which I provided) with a letter saying my ILR application has been approved and we would get our BRP within 7 days. It took 5 months 19 days from the date of my application which is within HO standard of serv...

Many T1 E ext applicants are called for interview. Do anyone know T1 E ILR applicants called for interview?

I think only after their standard of service period you can have a specific status check of your application with your HO ID through CS. We have to wait, no other option.

Today I called HO and the answering machine is set to press a number if the application is within the standard service time and announces that you can't check within standard service time. In my next call I pressed the number for out of standard service time and spoke to a customer service represent...

Hi traymond,
Thank you for sharing HO customer service phone number. I will also try to call tomorrow and post their reply.

Are you getting automated email every month from HO same to the one which I am getting regularly once in a month on the same date?

you are right. you need to invest £200K in to your business before your extension.

Hi Iaoqi,
Congratulation!!! Surprising...Even for Tier 1 Investor ILR took more than six and half month that too without any explanation for not being able to give a decision within the HO standard of service time scale of 6 months. As you said no bad news is always good news.

I too think there should not be any issue if the company is active and created 2 jobs for 12 months or equivalent. The problem is the waiting time which really collapses all schedule and affects the business too. The uncertainty is really difficult to move further.

Thanks DanielSX.

I prepared my application myself and submitted. Let us all hope for a good outcome from HO soon. If you get any further information please post.

Hi Seasky,
It true and the delay in taking the decision by HO holding the passport affects all my international schedules and commitments too.

Hi DanielSX,
Thank you for the information. Did your friend applied on 15th Jan for ILR on the same category of mine? Did he get any reason from HO for not taking the decision within 6 months which is their standard of service.

Hi Zimba88,
Thanks for your message. It is true I have to be patient for ILR. Do you have any idea that anyone got ILR in the same category and how long they had waited.

Hi traymond, Thank you for your message. Did you enter UK on Tier 1 Entrepreneur £200,000 category like me? Have you submitted company accounts and demonstrated again the investment with the ILR application? Have you prepared and sent your ILR application yourself (without immigration solicitor's he...

No, only postal application is available. Thanks.

I am waiting for HO decision on my ILR since 1st March 2016 applied as Tier 1 Entrepreneur 5 year. Anyone got ILR in this category and how long it took? I submitted my application with my wife as dependent on 1st March 2016. Within 10 days of my application the fee had been taken and received the le...

I think you can invest from your personal or business bank account in to your business. Your audited or unaudited account certified by an accountant is important. When I extended my Tier 1 entrepreneur (£200K route), I invested from various sources but submitted my company's account for the proof of...
