Re: T1 HS Entrepreneur to SET(LR)

Hi Gurus, It has been just over a month since I submitted my SET(LR) application, I was wondering if you guys would advise me to go for the premium upgrade option. There is not much complication in my case and I have never really broken any terms of my previous visas. Also, I would really appreciat...

Proof of Investment £50K

Hi Guys,

Could someone, who got his visa extended, provide me the list of documents you submitted as proof of your investment as a company director?

Thanks

Re: T1 HS Entrepreneur to SET(LR)

Thank you very much. :) I already called that number but they could not help at all. The lady said, just wait for Home Office to get in touch. This is stupid...

Re: T1 HS Entrepreneur to SET(LR)

Hi Gurus, So my case just got a little bit complicated. As you all know I applied for SET(LR) on 17/01/2017 and my T1 HS Visa expired on the 18/01/2017. I submitted a bankers draft for the fees and it turns out that the date on the draft was put as January 2016 by mistake. So I am guessing that the ...

Re: ILR 10years Route-Continuous residency issue

I am not able to follow you properly but you mentioned your original application was in time and again when you appealed, that was in time, then you mentioned about an application after your visa expiry. Which application is this? I think if you can provide a good enough reason for why you applied a...

Re: Premium Upgrade Closed ?

I think they didn't realise how many people will actually go via that route. Is there any specific time frame by which one is supposed to apply for the upgrade from the day the application was submitted initially?

Hi Admins,

It looks like merging the 2 posts didn't help getting any response in my case. Can I just confirm if the forum allows to have only 1 topic per user? I ask because the topic for my 2nd post was not at all related to this post.

You are applying via the 10 year private life route. You do not need to worry much about Tier 1E rules and do not need to submit any documents for it. You will face no issue unless you were in a breach of any visa conditions during the last 10 years Cheers, I was never in breach of any condition bu...
