Urgent - Document update to HO while Application in progress

[manu1221]

On the issue of Document update, just wanted to share my experience.

I submitted my application on 28th Feb 2017 and it was approved on 10th May 2017.

During the process, I sent in two additional documents - one on 15th March (when I spotted an error in my employees' name between Payslip and Passport) and a second one on 27th March ( I wanted to clarify my earlier submission of starting date in FPS because we had changed payroll systems, so I decided to explain that using the FPS of a new hire we had in March).

I am not sure if either one was important for the decision making. I considered the error in name critical but not the second update. Both the additional documents were returned to me with the approval. So, that at least confirms that they were received and processed with my application.

So, that would suggest that sending additional documents, if needed, is always worth it.

Hi marcnath, congs for the visa. May I know, which address did you use to update your documents to HO please? If I have received a complex letter from Sheffield Team, do I have to send the update to same Sheffield team or Croydon. Thanks

I was doing an ILR application, so I sent it to the address that was on the SET (O) form
Home Office
SET(O)
Indefinite Leave to remain
PO Box 591
Durham

Just send to Sheffield address with your case reference number. They will link the documents to your application within 1 week after receiving them. They do accept an extra documents before the decision.

Hello Marcnath . Thank you so much on the update and congratulations on your Visa


Actually i havent sent them any updates yet .

May i ask you on this note if you sent the documents straight to the case worker as their name was addressed?

or is there a way you have to send please?

I don't remember if there was a case worker name. I just wrote the Case ID in big letters on top of the envelope (of course, referred to CaseId inside too).

I sent them 1st class signed for. But delivery took much longer than the Royal Mail's estimate of next working day.

If I had known it was going to be that delayed, I would have used Special Delivery (guaranteed next day) for the 1st set of additional documents, at least.

Hi dear, congrats on your visa
I have applied 9 months ago and since then only interview in oct. all my documents iz fine, but the lawyer made mistakes in filling application form and then in cover letter. I realised this couple of months ago but he told me there is no use in sending them again and they will be consider your case based on the docs and not forms and cover letter.

Do you think sendind them NOW , is better or makes it worse? PLEASE HELP

This comes late.

But yes, you should send additional documents as soon as you can.

The criteria seems to be documents received "when the application is considered" not when it is received, though I have no idea what considered would mean.

Hi Guys,

Its time for an update. Look into my timelines I applied on 18 Feb 2017. Biometrics done in march and complex letter received soon after that in the beginning of april. today I receive a phone call. saying that I will be interviewed coming week at my place.

I have been juggling with one to many things at iam lots. No time for preparation at all. Iam not worried or scared per se but I know Iam in for loads of questions. Totally making you all aware . maybe this is a trend now or it has been taking place, whatever the case is . My number is up.

ANy help from anybody who has given interviews would help me. Please. I literally dont have any time .

Any suggestions on interview questions,
tips
etc... would be appreciated. Please

What day they are coming? On Monday? You can ask them to change the date as well?

[heyaheya]

hi vish79k , good luck with ur interview ... what sort of business do u have plus what documents have u provided? yeah i blv so they have started this trend now a days. what date they said u will have interview then.

[marcnath]

Third such case in this forum in the last week or so. Looks like UKVI is making this a trend.

Search for interview questions - I expect in person visit to be along the same lines - the focus being on genuineness of the business.

Know your business and it should not really need much more.

Thank you Marc . good man ! I will go through

@ Momi Mid next week at my office

@heyaheya - Into IT and other buz is with regards to Toursim. SureRaises eyebrows and a lot of questions thats why i have to go through an interview. Just one thing lead to another and drifted you see. Given a chance to correct I will defo go back and change things but its a bit late now as 3 years have passed and the judgement day not far off

And all have applied on Feb 2017.
Things can't clear in one visit If they only want to see the genuineness of the business.
Some people have 100's of clients and some have 2-3 and they are doing other businesses as well to survive.

@MARCRATH what if someone has changed the address during extension?
I applied in may 2017 for extension and I am changing my office in this month because my contract is ended.
Do you thing I need to inform home office about that?

[heyaheya]

u will be fine my dear .......i know its hard even me i havent applied yt going to apply soon... and i am alread freaking out .. what if they come and visit... its not that we are not real entrepreneurs .. its jus that its weired feeling smbody coming to chk u... u never know what they say and ask u and u get confused...

good luck .. and keep updating us.. thr is one applicant on this forum who has HO visiting his restaurant tom.. m sure he will update us and how it was..??


regards,

[marcnath]

Tough to say.

You are supposed to inform "change of circumstances" but that is primarily meant for personal circumstances.

I would just be safe and update business changes too, even if it not required.

[Vish79k]

Hi Vish79k, best of luck for the interview !! would you please confirm how many employees do you have and also does the number you get a call ending ****55400. Thanks

[sassybee]

Hi,

See below link to interview questions:

uk-tier-1-entrepreneur-visas/extension- ... s#p1487829

All the best

[Vish79k]

Hello Sassybee thank you for that. Spot on ..

Thanks heyaheaya

and manu : no mate it does not end with that no. Mine is a simple mobile no and a surprise call and also the email designates the person clearly who is taking my interview.


They are dead serious about getting things right . I have one shotDo it right - and the toughest one !

[heyaheya]

VISH take it easy ... so is one person only or few of them are coming... so with the call u got email as well.................this is bit strange tbh as they cant go to each and every applicants place and interview them.. this will cost them money and need more human power. i dunoo maybe experts can tell much better. but as all said its new trend... they jus dont want evybody to fullfill all points .. they want to see much more... lets see how it goes.. but please dont worry. if u have space in ur office even jus small u still have smthing to accommodate them... prayers for all who are going through this....



regards,

[Momi]

It looks like they have system like hmrc.
