It is a stressful time for any applicant even if it is a straightforward application . Submit only the required documents - no need to submit a years worth of bank statements, P60 , payslips etc . Only one recent payslip , one recent bank statement and letter from employer is needed . Be honest and don’t worry . BTW my eligibility date was 20/11/19 . So it doesn’t matter when u fill or submit the online application.
All the best to everyone who is waiting for their approvals .
Thanks to all the admins - your input has been most valuable .

Hi,


Route: Entrepreneur 50K (Set O).
Visa applied on 13/9/2019 with two dependents
Biometrics done on 1/10/2019.
Solicitor send me an email that my Visa has been approved on 18/11/2019.
Today received a letter from DX that my UKBA-BRA was not delivered as nobody was at home. Call and book next delivery date.

Wife and Son applications were switched From Extension to ILR because they have not completed 5 years. Wife completed 5 years 25 September and Son’s 5 years were completing on August 2020 but solicitor said that when both parents are applying ILR then your son can also applied.
He has applied wife and son visa. They have to give biometrics on 26/11/2019.
Now wait for their ILR.

This Forum was Really very helpful.

A big thanks to Zimba,
Macnarth, CR01 and other seniors guys.

Best wished for those who are waiting for there visa.
