Good Morning Marcnath & Zimba,

I am in the process of relocating my business to a different address and my extension is under process from 16+ weeks now.
Do i have to inform HO about my new trading address? or is it ok to move without notifying HO?
Also, would it be better to contact my MP to speed up processing or shall i just keep on waiting like other members?

I really appreciate your advice & suggestions.

There is no requirement to inform business changes.

I am skeptical of any benefit of using the MP, but it is not going to do any harm either - so why not ? would be my approach

Hi Marcnath & Zimba,

I hope you guys are well. Can you please suggest any effective way of speeding up my case? I have been waiting from 6 months now. I know a lot of ppl are waiting from over a year.
I applied for my extension for myself and 1 dependent in dec 17, and now my wife's father is very ill. I just want to know if there is any option to write to home office to speed up the case? or can i withdraw my dependent's application but not mine? My solicitor is asking me not to contact HO?
I'd really appreciate your suggestions in my case.

Thanks alot

You can try to write in with evidence of your father-in-law's illness. HO does seem to have some option for expediting based on such circumstances though I have not seen any reports of it happening.

Hi Marcnath & Zimba,

I hope you guys are well, and thank you for always answering my questions briefly. I am still waiting for my extension from almost 7 & 1/2 months.
Due to this long wait of visa, I couldn't renew my contract with two of my potential clients. But from last 2 months, I have started online Ebay store, and its doing fine.
- I was wondering, do i need to notify HO about this change of business activities from logistics consultancy to Ebay sales?
- will there be any impact if i am called for interview?
My business partner has already got his ILR based on 10 years, and he is not participating in business at all. but, he still has active DL in company. would there be any impact on my extension?
if you could please highlight the best approach for me?
- Can I register a new company and start trading for my ebay newly setup buss?
- I am still maintaining 2 full time jobs from last 7 months? Can I use it towards ILR? I will be completing my 10 years in Mar 2020

Thanks a lot

- I was wondering, do i need to notify HO about this change of business activities from logistics consultancy to Ebay sales? ==> No
- will there be any impact if i am called for interview? ==> Don't see why it should

if you could please highlight the best approach for me?
- Can I register a new company and start trading for my ebay newly setup buss? ==> Sure
- I am still maintaining 2 full time jobs from last 7 months? Can I use it towards ILR? I will be completing my 10 years in Mar 2020 => When will you complete 5 years ? If you meant you complete 5 years in Mar 2020, then no - you can only use employment after the extension is approved.

hi Marcnath,

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. I will complete 5 year in Dec 2019? would i be able to use it? or do i need to continue 2 jobs after extension is approved?

I mean I will complete 5 years in T1 Ent in Dec 2019.
10 year over all in Mar 2020 as my date of arrival was in 2010.

Marcnath already cleared everything but I'm adding one more thing that I got confirmation from home office about changing business.
I'm waiting since last 14 months months and my interview was done almost 4 months ago but still waiting for outcome in the mean I change my business and I'm also doing ebay amazon. I wrote home office couple of months ago and they confirmed that you can change your business anytime you want.
So don't worry and just concentrate on your business.

Since you can apply for your ILR Nov 19, you will be able to use employment from Dec 18 onwards (12 months before application date) but not earlier

Hello Marcnath, Zimba and admins,

I hope you guys are all well. Could you please let me know, if there is any email address where i can at least send a complaint for this long delay in visa processing. During Last 8+ months, I have called HO 4 times and got same reply in email that your case is not complete yet, and 1 call back with similar answer.
These long delays are causing huge stress and restraining people to travel to see their families.

Hi Marcnath & Zimba,

I am still waiting for extension. Can you please let me know, if it's ok to work as a self employed driver for amazon deliveries or will it break the rules of T1?
I've chased my MP after waiting for 9+ months for extension, and now MP is waiting for response from Amazon.
I have started running my new business successfully, but wanted to know, if there is any restriction to work as an independent contractor with Amazon?

your help and advice is highly appreciated.

I would expect that to be in violation of your visa terms

Hi Guys'
I have missed a dx delivery today. They left a calling card? Could it be my BRP? I didn't hear anything from my solicitor.
Is there any collection office of Dx, where i can collect from?

Yes, that is most likely. They must have left instructions on their next attempt or contact details.

Dear Admins,
can you please suggest me best option leading towards ILR. MY T1 Ext will expire in oct 2020.
I will be completing 5 years in T1E on 15 Nov 2019 & 10 year Long residence in march 2020.
My dependent wife applied for her UK visa in 2015, but was rejected which was later approved after review appeal in June 2016.
She will complete her 5 year as dependent in june 2021, but her visa will expire in oct 2020l .

can you please suggest which route will be best for me to apply ILR without breaking 5 year residence towards ILR for my partner?

really appreciate your suggestion.

If you want to retain the 5 year for your dependant, your only option is the 5 year route. The clock starts again for your dependant once you switch to 10 year LR

You can see my application here. I did include maintenance funds which is not needed.

Thank you so much Marcnath. I really appreciate your help.
can you please suggest me best option that suits my wife and myself.
T1 Ent Dep : UK Arrival June 2016
Her visa is expiring in Sep 2020.

I will be eligible for T1 Ent. ILR in Nov 2019, and 10 year LR in Feb: 2020.

can you please let me know how should we proceed? If i switch to T1 Ent. ILR, does she has to apply for extension? or can she apply for ILR with me in Nov 2019?

She can apply for an extension shortly before her current visa expires IF you apply for ILR based on Tier 1 Ent. Her 5 years will only complete in mid 2021.

If you apply for ILR based on long residence, she will have to switch to FLR(M) and meet the English and Financial requirements. This will also reset her clock to zero and a new 5 year route to ILR (2 x 2.5 year visas).

hi guys, can you please suggest me whats the best way to contact HO for IHS refund?
Any email address please?
I still haven't received my refund after 4 months of extension.

rayleo1990 · Post by **rayleo1990** » Thu Mar 07, 2019 3:36 pm

hi Guys,
My accountant has joined a large firm, and he has to surrender his licence.
If i change my accountant now, will it impact my ILR?
I am eligible for ILR in Nov-2019?
Do i need any letter from accountant for ILR?
as, both my employees are same before extension. I gave letter form accounts prior to extension regarding job creation.

Do accountants need to have a practising licence? or can i ask my friend who has done acca to prepare unaudited accounts before ILR?
