Tier 1 Ent 50k to ILR approved with motoring offense

Guys just wanted to thank you all who have been so helpful in this journey I got my ILR

I was on tier 1 Ent 50 k route. My five year completed in OCT/17

Hope this info is helpfull for you guys

Applied for ILR 27 days before completing 5 years

Time line
Application sent 29/Oct /17
Biometric done 06 Nov/17
Received all the document and ILR-BRP card, all received on the same date on 03 Jan/18
Total Processing time was less than 2 months after biometric including Christmas holidays

I kept my file really simple and very well organized with all the divider and index etc. Only sent what they asked for in guidance nothing more nothing less, I only sent few extra docs in job creation section just to avoid any confusion. I didn't sent the bank statement neither company accounts nor invoices. I saw on this forum that lot of people sent lot of these documents but I did not bother as they did not ask for these docs.

I had a motoring offence CU10 (defective tyres) for which I had to go to court and was given £250 fine and 3 points and it was within 24 month but I guess I got away with it as I did not have any criminal record so I sent DBS and also certificate from police national computer confirming that I do not have any criminal record to make sure caseworker should not get confused with the offence, but to be on safer side I marked yes in criminal records section.Did not wanted to be seen as deception in case of any confusion(you never know what happens in home office)

Employees
I had 2 full-time employees for 53 weeks exactly and 1 employee of 8months after an extension was granted I got rid of all 3 employees on 53rd week after extension and outsource all the work to contractors and self-employed people to keep the cost low.I did not have any employees on my company payroll for last approx. 1 year before the ILR application

Yes I sent master degree certificate.Though it was not required if you got English language points in your previous application. But I read somewhere on this forum in one case that cases worker didn't gave points for English for some reason but latter the applicant applied of AR and got the points. So to avoid any hassle i sent master degree certificate

Hi Shanky,
Congratulations of successful ILR application, I hope now you can concentrate 100% on your business extension. Can you please explain what information you got to furnish in the "Letter explaining jobs".

Thanks in Advance

Hello:
My ILR is due in April 2018

I was thinking of sending extra documents so they will think its proper business , documents such as
All 5 year accounts
Previous extention documents such as Director loan agreements , accountant letters,
Marketing material - CD, newspaper advertisements, online advertisement
Utility bills, possibly shop lease as well, Corporation tax related documents from HMRC.

Now when i read your list your list is very small . im confused should i focus upon sending less doucments or more documents. in both cases chances of them raising a query is high

Please advise.
Thanks

Job titles were same on the p46 form so had to send the letter with an explanation that though title are same but role were different. They canceled few visas in past because job title was same

I am a strong believer people like to do what we are paid for nothing more. Home office must have made a list/criteria for the caseworker to check the application and casework will only expect to see documents which matches thr list/criteria. I bet caseworker won't be happy to see a load of extra documents from your side where he/she has to dig in to find relevant documents. In other words Home office is a business they want to be more profitable by doing more application in less time and as any business, i can assure you casework would have targets to finish number of application in certain time, make it easier for him/her to get through your application quickly by only sending relevant docs which they asked for otherwise, chances are you will frustrate him/her.

Good luck

Congrats mate. Sure you are now more than relieved. Life just start in UK.

Hi Shanky ,

Many congratulations and thank you so much for your information which will be helpful for us all here .
Could you please share the nature of your business as you said you outsourced it and there were no employees in the last 1 year ?

Thanking you
