Journey from T1 Entrepreneur to successful ILR

Dear All Members,

I highly appreciate exceptional work done by the members of the forum. It was always remained so helpful in my journey to ILR. I am writing today to share my experience and one important suggestion to all the aspiring applicants.

Please always be truthful and let know the Home Office if there is any exceptional circumstances. Never shy away to write to home office if there is any genuine need to expedite your application. My salute also goes to the home office T1 Entrepreneur case workers and staffs that they really listens to your genuine grievances.
Write the home office with confidence and proof your genuine reasons for quick turnaround. I guarantee you they listens.

I have seen so many applicants in the forum who are waiting for a long time to get their application processed and spending anxious and sleepless nights. I tried to return my small contribution by suggesting above recommendation if it helps to even a single applicant.

My time line is already posted on the forum.
All the best and good luck.

Many congrats,
You have mentioned your work status has changed from 20th, I guess BRP number won’t be changed and it will be same as extension time. Is it right?

I am not sure because the photo is the old one on the status page. I can only confirm once I receive the BRP.

Bro where is your timeline ?

Once ILR approved, work status change shows even if you input the existing BRP (with old photo). The ILR BPR will show the same with new photo.

Congrats Hamza.

Edit: BRP number does change.

Thanks tier11417.

I think you are right.

You welcome and thanks for the link. I tried it and I got the below message, does it mean anything and how to know the status has changed
We can't show your record
You will need to prove your right to work by showing an employer your identity document – your EU passport or national identity card, or biometric residence document.

You need to say no to the first question if you are not a EU citizen then provide your BRP number and then your DOB. It will show you , your work status. If it shows no time limit to stay in UK, it means you are granted ILR.

I am not an EU so I chose No to the first question then entered my BRP no. then DOB and the outcome is the same ‘We can't show your record’. Anyway thanks for getting back to me again and trying to help

Received BRP card:24/05/2019

Journey is complete.
Once again thanks to all.
