Assume you had spent in UK for 5 years, and were going to apply for ILRs for BNO visa, and just had finished making application, you were going to submit for payment. Then You can see the Photo “If you do not qualify for settlement” ? What that means ? It was suppose you met all requirements you then submitted applications. Please read “If you do not meet the requirements for settlement, but appear to meet the requirements to be granted further temporary permission to stay, your settlement application will not be decided. Instead the Home Office will vary your application for settlement so that it becomes an application for temporary permission to stay.” Then ask you to “Click” “Please confirm you have read the above information. What that means ?

Three years ago, one Hong Kong person helped me for moving home. He came to UK via Entrepreneur Visa, then changed to BNO visa. After he spent 5 years of staying in the UK (3 years Entrepreneur visa + 2 Years BNO visa) I helped him to grant BNO ILRs, you can see his “Voice” file attached. He was very lucky he met me so I made him CONSULTATION one year before application.

Recently, you may hear that some of HongKongers who have stayed in the UK for 5 years (UK visa + BNO visa = total 5 years), they met all requirements. However, they were rejected by Home Office, instead Home Office granted them 3 more years of BNO visa.


After 3 more years whether Home Office will grant ILRs or further temporary visa or reject visa at all ?
