Switching from Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) to ILR Long residency

Post by mvisram » Wed Aug 29, 2018 3:13 pm

Hi everyone.

This is my first time on this site and my history is as follows:

09/2008 Arrived in the UK on 4 year student visa
07/2012 Got my PSW visa
11/2013 Got my Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) 50k Route
03/2017 Got my extension for Entrepreneur visa which expires in 03/2019

As you can see from the above history, my 10 year long residency completes in September this year hence I do not need to wait for the Tier 1 Visa route for ILR in 2019.

I am planning on booking a premium service. Would I need to provide any further proof of the business? This was provided during the extension and accepted without any questions.

Your help would be immensely helpful.

Thank You

M Visram

You should take as many of the documents as you can with you (no need to submit those) in case the CW asks for additional information, which they have every right to.

Most Tier 1 E applicants going to the premium service seem not to get same day decision based on posts here.
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.

Not really but you might be asked to provide.
Just bear in mind that SET(LR) might have adverse effect on your dependants ability to secure ILR (if you have any dependants)

Thank you for your help - I have no dependants apart from a child born in 2017 who will be eligible for british citizenship anyway right once I get my ILR?

ILR Long stay 10 years

Post by mvisram » Wed Sep 05, 2018 4:20 pm

Hi everyone

Your help would be highly appreciated. I have 2 queries:

1. I am living with an unmarried partner (He has his own immigration history and mine is a solo application) with whom I had a baby in June 2017 and currently in the process of applying for a 10 year long residency ILR. I have not previously registered the baby as I was intending to do a British application for her once i get my ILR this year.

I am currently on Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa (Renewed in March 17) which is due to expire March 2019 however I am eligible in Sept 18 via 10 years.

On the application form Question D16 - Do you have a child in the UK. Should I tick on yes or no? I am not doing a dependant application for the child but would it be lying if i said no? If yes, what should i stater as the childs nationality?

2. I had a CCJ letter from the court for an unpaid Private debt. I paid the debt within a month of the CCJ so I can apply for it to be removed. Do i have to declare this on the application?


Thank you for your support and i would appreciate some assistance in the above matter.

Thank you

SET(LR) is not relevant to dependants. You should answer all those questions truthfully. Obviously the child adopts the parent's nationality on birth
2. I had a CCJ letter from the court for an unpaid Private debt. I paid the debt within a month of the CCJ so I can apply for it to be removed. Do i have to declare this on the application?
No
