T1 Ent Route to ILR

[kim001]

Hello respected members in the house.
This might have been dealt with before hopefully.
My question: Does the time spent waiting for HO decesion on extension count towards the 5years required on T1 Ent route to ILR? For instance, if took 13 months for HO to extend ones application, does it mean that the person only has one year left to qualify for ILR as he would have spent 5years on the route even though he would have spent one year in the 2 years of extention?

Thank you for your response.

Correct. ILR 5 year continuous period is calculated from start of Initial Visa date.

Hello everyone,
My initial T1 Ent Visa was granted in July 2014

I applied for extension in June 2017

I was interviewed in my office July 2018

Since then no more communication from HO

If HO does not get back by June this year, I will be due for ILR (5 yrs on T1 Ent Visa)

Question- Apart from what I submitted for my extension and of course LIUK, what else do i need to apply for ILR? especially with job creation, do i still need to show that I have created 2 new full time jobs for 12 months each?

Many thanks.

Pretty much the same documents you submitted for your extension, updating the time sensitive documents such as business activity.
