What is your exact timelines - date you sent in withdrawal, date you departed, etc.
Also what does your approval letter state ? Does it say extension approved or just Tier 1 application ?
Clearly, you have submitted investment and job creation documents and not access to funds documents. So, the fact that they granted you the visa has to be on the basis of Table 5 (extension), not Table 4 (initial).
I would then assume that bureaucracy crept in and stamped 3 years 4 months because it is an entry clearance, not leave to remain.
In principle, you should still be able to apply for ILR 5 years from initial visa date, subject to meeting the continuous stay requirement (which may have been affected by this approach).
Yes it is! the worst part that not much advice can be found out there till it's time to apply next year. Either I will get an indefinite approval or rejected with money wasted and start a case which will cost me a fortune.marcnath wrote: ↑Fri Apr 27, 2018 1:22 pmThis is an interesting one.

Thank you so much Zimba88, couldn't have done it without you guys. This will only make me happy if my continuous stay hasn't been broken and I can apply next year for ILR or else all my effort has gone down the drain. I have mentioned all the detailed timeline in the thread, please read.zimba88 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 27, 2018 2:01 pmCongratulations
I still do not think that you were granted extension but a Tier 1E entry clearance which will be granted always for 3 years and 4 months.
Extension is only granted inside the UK. When you leave the UK and you have no visa, what are you exactly extending outside ?!
Depending on when you withdrew the application, when you left the UK and when you applied for your entry clearance outside the UK, your continuous lawful stay in the UK may have not been broken. Remember that for your ILR, you need to satisfy the job creation again
Since you are in UK now and have the BRP received. It might be worth sending an email to HO stating that wrong BRP has been issued to you and explain your situation. They will likely send a clarification.How to extend your visa if you’re outside the UK
Apply for a new a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa online to extend your visa from outside the UK.
The attributes points for initial application and extension are different.
I am confident this was an extension and you would have no issues with ILR.Usmana5 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 28, 2018 5:37 am
Yes, Investment was made in parts from Aug 2014 till Sep 2017. Obviously no business plan was submitted as interview is now mandatory for initial application unlike in 2014. They also asked for
few missing investment bank statements which I did provide later on. I must say they are quite responsive and fast when it comes to outside country applications. lol, So I hope I'm safe for ILR next year?!
The 180 day absence has an impact at any time - this has nothing to do with application inside or outside the country. Anytime you are out of the country for more than 180 days in any 12 month period, the continuous stay clock effectively resets.
Absolutely. It is not possible for them to train people in every embassy to handle a complex Tier 1 application
The ability to apply for extension from outside UK is not new. It was available at least one year back, as far as I can see.kaps84 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 28, 2018 9:14 am180 days - Even if the application is ‘in-progress’ with HO and it’s the HO taking more time to decide? Reset of clock sound weird, Isn’t it?
Could be that rules will amend to cover the absence by some existing or new section (if not already) with the ‘introduction’ of applying extension from outside UK.
