5 Years Absences-ILR Application Form

[Haadiz]

Hi Senior's

I am submitting my online Set(O) application today and I have a last minute question regarding 5 years absences if you can please kindly help me with?

Date of ILR application: 21/06/2019
Tier 1 Ent Visa Approved: 15th December 2013
First Entered in the UK: 30th December 2013

My total absence since the visa was granted are 230, however the guidance stated any absences counted going back from the application.

I am assuming that application means ILR application?

and if I count backward from 21st June 2014 - 20th June 2019 then my total absences are 135 days. Is this correct the above dates to mention only or I should count total since initial visa granted? Please advise

Many Thanks

Yes, counting backwards from date you submit form SET(O). You should include all absences since 2013 when you got the visa though. If you have no absence in any 12 month period of 180 days then there is no issue.

Thank for your quick response, I may have understood you if you can please correct me. I do not have absences more than 180 days in any 12 months.

You mean I have to provide all absences since visa was issued? They need only 5 years but If I count total then this should be 230 and this covers 5 years 6 months. But for 5 years from the date of application counting backward are 130 days. Please advise

In the application form, I have to fill the first most recent absence which was in 2018 instead the first absence which was in 2014?

[CR001]

You should complete all your absences since initial visa issue date.

Remember that the time between visa start date and entry to the UK is also counted towards the absence limit.

Hi There,

Just a quick question, do you think sending Bank Letter and one month bank statement together is ok? I understand one is required.

I have both original with me but I am more comfortable with the Bank Letter than the statement. However, I have Bank payment credit advice on Bank Letter Head, is this ok to send Bank Letter along with two recent payment confirmation advice received by post?

Please advise.

Thanks

1.Whatever you are comfortable with!
Bank letter suffices business registration requirement as per marcnaths interpretation that I followed.
If you have a number of debits(salaries, bills etc) and credits(invoices payments) may reflect favourably towards genuiness.

2. Your refusal was overturned and you were granted a visa per that application so not a refusal. Wont make any difference whatever you answer coz you won't be hiding material facts either way. Ho will check and have ur immigration history to the UK.

3. Preferably the job creation date ought to be the job was actually created and the employee start date ought to be the date the employee actually started within the job.

Having said that I and others on this forum were granted ILR on the start dates stated from after extension even though my employees had actually started working from initial period. This is what came up at the time I was applying. The evidence is of utmost importance as advised by marcnath.
As long as the jobs have lasted 12 months since extension approval (in most cases but not all as many are now eligible for ILR without ext approval) with X number of employees performing it to the equivalence of 12 payslips/RTI (employee replacement, part-time, job share) the lack of correctness on the form would be looked over... as the requirement has been fulfilled.

Or we just got really easy going case workers

I have finally submitted my online Application Set(O) and booked an appointment in Glassgow as the nearest date for Biometrics was 11th July and therefore I have paid extra £100 to expedite the process.

I am in the process of uploading my documents today and I have a few questions if you can kindly advise;

1. I am only submitting bank letter instead Bank Statement, reason being I was over draft for 15 days but have been paid by the clients around £20,000 that month so it goes positive. Do you think is still ok even though the figures was in negative for few days and then went up? Statement clearly mention Paid in/out Please advise.

2. Is this necessary that the documents should be in grey/black scale or in colour should be acceptable as long as the file size in under 6MB? Please advise

3. Since the application form did not ask for 5 years home addresses, however, I lived in my current property for just a year. Do I need to provide 5 years history to cover this? Please note that I have not informed HO for any changes in addresses as I have moved in three different properties in the last 5 years. Please advise

Thank you for your support

Every business suffers such ups n downs.
I would stick to bank letter alone.. I’ve repeated this a 100 times on ur thread..
Information should be to the point.


2. Is this necessary that the documents should be in grey/black scale or in colour should be acceptable as long as the file size in under 6MB? Please advise

I don’t think it should matter. I’d go for colour.

3. Since the application form did not ask for 5 years home addresses, however, I lived in my current property for just a year. Do I need to provide 5 years history to cover this? Please note that I have not informed HO for any changes in addresses as I have moved in three different properties in the last 5 years. Please advise

I thought the online form asked for previous addresses..and ur extension application would have too.
If previous addresses aren’t asked then I don’t see the point of voluntarily offering that info and increasing papers for the case worker to go through.

Thank you for your support

[CULLINAN]

Online form only asks for current address. Nothing more required.
All my scans were color less than 6MB and were fine.

Hi Seniors,

I have appointment for biometrics this afternoon and just few least minute questions if you can advise.

1. I don’t thing that I have to upload my visa application as this was submitted already before I booked the appointment?
2. I have lived in uk between 2002 to 2008, sine I am not submitting my old passports except those that covers 5 years period. So you think that I should provide copies of all previous Uk visas so they will know the history? I also have the details with U.K. visas in A4 sheet that provide issue dates and visa reference

Please help

Thanks

Correct, not needed.

Stop overthinking. You are applying based on 5 years residence, don't submit unnecessary documents not relevant to this qualifying period.

Just wondering, if we submit Ct41G then what is the use of CT600, since HO do not require any accounts or any related documents as I have been awarded points in my previous application?

CT600 is a kind of accounts of submission (Company Tax Return) don’t you think it’s a document do not require and CT41G will be sufficient that proves that the company is registered for Corporation tax?

Please advise as I have appointment in 30 minutes

Thanks

Thanks, I am about to but just thoughts cane into my mind. I had investment from VC and was in trouble to prepare accounts as per the guidance.. I do not want them to ask for any accounts by looking into tax return. Though the company was in profit last year. Anyways if you have any second thoughts then please let me know

Thanks

Hello All,

I first would like to thank you for all of your help and your support provided for document submission to HO.

I have done my biometrics yesterday and it was good experience, in fact I reached at the office 15 minutes earlier and the biometrics took only 15 minutes to complete and she submitted after all the checks.

I have accessed to my Sopra account again this morning and I can still login to my account and see all the documents were uploaded, in fact there is still an option to upload more files. Instead, it must say that your documents are submitted to HO or whatever.....I am confused?

Is this normal to have access to these files and options are still available to upload more files, since biometrics have done? Are we allowed at this stage to add/remove files after the appointment? Just thinking to remove one of the file


Please let me know your experience and advise that we all see our uploaded documents

Best Regard

[CR001]

Do not add more or remove any documents. It is normal to see it as it is.

Your application is submitted now so don't fiddle with what is there.
