ILR reffered to Tier 1 @PEO

Today I went to Sheffield PEO to apply for ILR (tier1general route) the case worker gave me a letter for further checks and said she has referred my case to Tier 1 team and also to my surprise she said they may call for an interview(ILR and interview????).
I ve asked her what checks and how long it will take but she replied negative.What do you guys think why set o is reffered to tier 1 team.any idea or experience.my all previous taxes are paid in full.Earnings for ILR consists of employment and selfemployement.

Hi ,

This is really strange thing ...why they are referring instead of same day decision .....at the time of submitting your application ,Did you showed your 12 months earnings as Employed and Self-employed ? Kindly share the information ?

On what basis did you claim salary points in Tier 1 initial/extension, were you employed or self employed?

+

Which Degree or Certificate did you use to claim education points in Tier 1 applications?

My tier 1:extension was based on selfemployement single source income ive paid my tax the same I declared to hm revenue but with late payment and penalties.
This time it is three sources of income including employment and two sources of selfemployement inc taxi driver and selfemplyed accountant and business development services to one company.All docs were provided to support these earnings.Still case worker refferedit to tier 1 team.I didnt provide any education degree as it was already awarded in previous extension and in set o form it is not needed to re issue them.

But, which Degree or Certificate did you use for Tier 1 applications?

MBA.

So based on your information as you are saying u have applied ILR based on 3 source of incomes i.e Employed +Selfemployed and business development service for last 12 months. If this is the case they might want to check with HMRC have you paid your tax for all these earnings.As you are saying you have paid tax last year then should not be a problem.

Thx but the tax due is jan 2015 for these sources not now and yes for the earnings of last extension are paid.

Did you pay taxes for exactly the same amounts that you declared in your visa both, initial and extension applications?

Yes offcourse

I think they probably have put on hold and asked you to attend as they may have reasons to doubt the validity of your self employment credentials and if you have in fact carried out such business development consulting work that you are claiming points for.

By the sound of it, seems to me that HO has some concerns regarding your previous applications and hence why case has been referred back to Tier 1 team.

If they had any concern about your current ILR application then it should have dealt by them on the same day or put on hold by ILR team to carry out further checks.

ILR application being referred to Tier 1 team is very strange, at least I have not come across a case like before.

Senior Moderators Any ideas from your experience Plzzzz.....HAve you had any such case in which they ask me to attend an interview for ILR.

Clearly doubtful seeing your jobs. Want to verify if you have given true facts during tier 1 application.

I do not find this strange and if you have not tried to hide any information, do not worry.

Ive recieved a letter today telling me that I ll be asked to attend an interview regarding my application.Am I the first one on this forum who is going for an interview for ILR tier 1 route.....any one before me????

I have applied at PEO for ILR via tier 1 general route, was given me with a letter for further checks then they have sent me a letter that I will be asked for an interview, today got another letter asking me to attend interview and they wrote to me as an applicant for tier 1 entrepreneur and that immigration rules xxx applies to me as I am entrepreneur applicant.
What shall I do now it is completely wrong from their side I have sent correct filled SET 0 form and ticked the route as Tier 1 general.
Can they asked me to attend an interview being applicant for ILR???or they need to do this blunder just for an interview by misjudging me as Entrepreneur applicant which I AM NOT.

Any update on your case ?

Hello,

Has anybody read about something called Genuine Earnings test in Tier-1 guidance notes. I think says that self employed tier-1 people will be subjected to checks whether their earnings from self-employment correlates to Tier-1 highly skilled category. I am worried about you saying that you have worked as a taxi driver with a Tier-1 visa, not sure if this could create a problem. I hope not.

Anyways keep us posted of what has happened.

Thanks,
BHP

Ive applied for ILR via tier 1general 5year route
Case worker have awarded me zero points for earnings my earnings from taxi driving falls in two accounting period I have submit my tax return for 16000 and after april to sep 17000 were claimed with evidence from bank statement showing cash transactions on weekly basis with accounts and accountant letteraling with council taxi license renewal letters.
case worker didnt consider my tax return and other docs and stated that earnings are not corroborated with documents as the evidence are not sufficient. Appeal righ is given.
The only extra evidence I have is my taxi fares details from my taxi firm showing the earnings.
my questios is can I produce that fare details in court.
or shall I go for reconsideration with this new evidence as someone told me I cant produce this evidence in appeal.
or shall I reapply with my 2dependants with this evidence.
In taxi we dont generate invoices.
plz advice amber or other senior members.

You need to show at least 2 evidences for corroboration. For the 1st period: You have shown (i) tax return, what was the (ii)? Tax return was deposited tax or just filed self assessment tax return? For the 2nd period: what evidences you have shown? Did the case worker refuse due to 1st period or 2nd period?

For first period I have shown tax return which is filed to hmrc and tax is due on 31st jan 2015.For second period as the tax return cant be filed die to tac period system I have shown accounts , letter from accountant and bank statements where that earnings were deposited.These docs were also shown ffor first period for which tax return was filed.

Any other seniors.....

hi I am going to apply for appeal against HO decision for my ILR...for earning corroboration/verfication of my taxi earnings can I submit my jobs data for that earnings as HO ignored my bank statements and accounts with accountant letter.Keep in mind there is no invoices in this business.

It is good to file in the appeal, and the other issues could be discussed later, you could even ask them to reconsider.

Thx obie much appreciated ....when you say reconsider so my visa is expired now and I think I can not go for reconsideration but if u mean that they may reconsider before hearing date correct me if im wrong but if I can submit the jobs data then I think it ll be helping to overturn but one of solicitor told me u cant submit this evidence in appeal and I was wondering then what does appeal worth for.
