I think they might verify your business banking statements. My advice is consult a good accountant and a solicitor to file your application. If you are confident of preparing documents on your own, then you may not require a solicitor but accountant inputs are must in your case. Thanks Dilip for you...

I had similar problem and was very much worried about it. I know Barclays bank are really difficult to deal with. I had a big argument with their staff and finally they agreed to put stamp & sign on the statements. I advice you to carry those statemts to their bank and ask them to attest them. If th...

Hi there, Assuming I do not travel abroad till 15-Mar-2014 & assuming they(ukba) do not change ILR rules/requirements for next one year. What are my chances of getting ILR if I apply by 15-Mar-2014? (Anyways I'm going to apply for tier1-second extension this year, but was just curios after going thr...

Hi All, Just thought, it would be a good idea to prepare a guide to get Replacement Biometric Residence Permit in case the BRP/Passport lost/stolen abroad.
