Number of ILRs granted are down from 242k in 2010 to only 60k in 2016.

Raheel congrats on your ILR. I'm in the same situation as you. Just a couple of questions please. Were in the first part of your visa (3 years) or the extension part? When was your Tier 1 entrepreneur approved? Did you provide your business related documents in the beginning of the appointment or wh...

Hello, My friend has a premium appointment booked for his Tier 2 visa application on Thursday. I was just wondering if HO interviews Tier 2 premium applicants on the same day, if they decide to do so. Or do they give notice to come for another day, because my friend would like to take his lawyer wit...

Ok thank you Zimba.

Just one more question, Has there been any case of 10 year ILR that you are aware of that was refused due to Tier 1 entrepreneur business/genuineness reasons?

Thank you so much.

Thank you Zimba. Yes, I have.

I mean on the business side, What does HO look at? For what business reasons can they...

Ok, Thank you. Will let him know about the consequences again.

Actually, I have told him many times about the consequences but he said it is better to go back to his country and earning £400/month. I will tell him again. He is not related to anyone within the firm. He got the offer through one of his friends who had gotten the offer before him and couldn't make...

Thank you for your reply. No fee, zero. They actually had to pay him a little more than his peers to meet the minimum salary of £26k, This is major real estate agency in London and not some COS for Fee shop. They actually know they are writing the wrong NQF. Can I ask one more question? What are the...

Just had a look at the COS. The NQF code is 2424. What are the consequences of wrong job description/NQF code for the applicant? This firm is a major major real estate firm in London. They have told him they know what they are doing and they have done this many times before.

Thanks.
