ILR Approved - Tier 1 Entrepreneur 200K route

Hello fellow members,

Got our ILR approval letter within 3 months plus (Main applicant + PBS Dependant). All our hard work, effort, tears and investment finally paid off and we are over the moon. Send the documents requested as per the guidelines. No additional requested from UKVI.

We couldn’t have done it without the support of this forum. A huge shout out to Marcnath, Zimba88, CR001 - thanks a million for your valuable advice. You guys are the best & we are incredibly grateful to have folks like you who make such a positive impact on people's lives in this forum. :D :D

And to those planning to apply ILR under the 200K route, my advice to you would be the following:

* read the guidelines thoroughly (I read 3-4 times)
* make a checklist of documents required
* send only necessary documents required as per the guidelines. It's your choice should you wish to send additional documents
* use color-coded page dividers or folders for documents in each section and label each section clearly
* double check everything to make sure nothing is amiss
* make a photocopy of all documents for your safekeeping

All the best! Hope to hear more ILR success stories in this forum :)

Congratulations!

You didn't send proof of business bank account (statement or letter) and proof of corporation tax registration (CT41G)?

Also, do you have a separate business office?

Thank you sm12. Business bank account statements and Corporate Tax Return & VAT Return Acknowledgement Letter were sent during the extension stage. Not for ILR. I would strongly suggest you read the latest guidelines for any updates/changes.

Yes I have a business premise.

Thank you.
My understanding from reading other threads was that a business bank letter/statement and proof of registration with HMRC was required at the ILR stage, too.
But good to know that it didn't cause any issues.

Hi regularuser,

Accountant's letter is only necessary if you took over an existing business. Maybe the senior gurus can confirm this.
