Hi tier11417, Thanks for your response. Its very helpful. Yes. Its for my wife's SET O as ILR application. We have utility bill and council tax to cover all period since last extension except 2 months in between. So just wondering what can I show to cover those 2 months. Is it ok to just send her ba...

Hi tier11417, Thanks for your response. I have been through the guidance document since then and realised many of the documents I have listed are not necessary. Hence I didnt follow to get response on that. But I did post new query in new thread about dependent application but moderators have been m...

Dear Moderators, I appreciate you are trying to tidy up forum by merging my posts but this is not helping at all. I am sure you understand the seriousness of everyone's queries on this forum. There is one post with just questions I have been asking and not getting any response from anyone. Can you p...

Hi moderators and senior members, As I understand, I have to supply documentary evidence of cohabitation to cover last 2 years since extension. Does this mean I need to provide documents such as utility bill which has both main applicant and my names on bills? and Do I have to supply bills to cover ...

I would really appreciate if someone could respond to my queries please.

Thanks,
Raj

Hi Everyone, I have completed my 5 years on Tier 1 Ent and I am about to submit my application for ILR with my dependent wife. I am going to apply for my daughters citizenship after I get ILR. I have copule of queries regarding supporting documents. It would be great if senior members can answer the...

Thanks tier11417 for your response. Are you sure about that? I just want to make sure I am not making mistake by not sending application for my daughter as by the time I will get ILR, my daughter's PBS dependent visa will be expired. so will she not be considered as overstayer or something right wh...

Hi everyone, I am preparing to apply for my ILR application online and have few doubts. It would be really great if you can answer these for me. 1. My initial visa granted on 12/09/2013. My extension application was refused in November 2016 but then fresh application was approved in March 2017 with ...

Hi everyone, I am preparing for ILR application for myself and my wife as dependant. I have UK masters degree but my wife does not have any UK degree. She has only Bachelors degree from India which I believe still taught in English but I want to know if that is considered for English language requir...

Thanks Zimba for your reply.

I have 3 yr old daughter who is also on my dependent visa. Do I have to apply for her ILR too or I can just apply ILR for myself and my partner and then once we have ILR, can I apply fot British passport for my daughter?

Hi everyone. My question is to figure out how does Home Office calculate 5 years on Tier 1 Ent. while applying for ILR. After completing initial 3 years i applied for 2 year extension in September 2016 Extension was rejected in November 2016. I sent it for review which was also rejected in December ...

I think you got my questions wrong. 1. you do not need to maintain 50k in bank but if you invest 50k, you cannot take it out as director salary or dividend. it can only be used for expenditures and staff salaries. So my question was as I have spend 52k on staff salaries, it means that I have spend a...

Hi everyone. I just have two queries about the 50k investment fund and employment. 1. I had that 50k in company account for whole period of initial 3 years and now another year of extension period. Till date I have paid 52k in salaries for employees excluding my salary. So does it mean that I do not...

Hi Zimba. Thanks for clarifying this. Very much appreciated.

May be I can ask another question in same thread.

If I go for 10 yr long residency route, is it true that my dependants will have to wait another 5 years after I get ILR to apply for their settlement?

So if I make my wife as shareholder, I dont need to hire more employees right? Existing 2 employees are still enough to earn points for employment creation for settlement application?

No. you didnt understand my point. I am not hiring my wife as employee. I am just making her as shareholder so she can get dividends from my company. She is not going to work for my company. just shareholder. With regards to employment condition. what I was asking is, if my wife becomes say 50% shar...

As I understand we still need to have 50k invested and also 2 employees hired for 1 year while applying for ILR. If I introduce my wife to be shareholder, do I need to hire more employees and invest more money? Initial 50k investment was from my account so I guess that stays as it is so I dont need ...

Same software used before, software provider added new report for this. The previous report was FPS summary but did not have much details. The new report is simply raw print out of XML data saved in more readable format. Attached below is old and new report https://s22.postimg.org/tqjvd7fhd/fps.png

FPS submitted with first application did not have all information needed and HO did not accept other doxumenta to cover that info. So i had to generate new FPS report with help of sw provider with all details from xml saved for each fps submission. HO accepted this document in second application. I ...

Finally wait is over. Thanks to everyone on this board. It has been very helpful to go through the whole process. Special thanks to Zimba. Received approval letter with passports and all documents today. Waiting for BRPs to arrive. My timeline as below Applied 07/09/2016 Biometric done 15/09/2016 No...

Thanks!! Thats very helpful.

I found same result as zimba when I worked out your total no. of weeks for all of your 4 employees i.e. 103.42 weeks and if you divide it by 52 weeks per year. it works out 1.98 years of employment in total. However, I read guidance says either 30 hours a week or 120 hours a month, and you have crea...
