Congrats.
Did you have interview? did you provide management accounts? (Profit/Loss statement or balance sheet)
Thanks.

I think she wants to introduce to the university students too. At the moment university students can easily switch to Tier 2 without any residence labor market test or cap. That's why Cambridge university was not happy and Osborne blocked it.

I understand noajthan. I am on Tier 1GE at the moment and was chosen from more than 60 people. Just wanted to make a little bit of more money but investing company's unused cash. Please do not judge me. I am investing in my business. already have spent more than 20% of my equity and not even 9 month...

Sorry guys. I understand. Thank you so much.

Just wanted to squeeze every single pound out of my capital just like normal businesses do. Will not pursue this strategy now.

Thanks again.

Hi Zimba, I understand but i don't want to just buy stocks and that't it. I want to invest the excess cash while I have no use for it. Overtime I will sell the stocks and pay for normal business expenses. Just like many other businesses who invest their excess cash in treasuries. (I intend to spend ...

Hi, I am running a technology company which is not that capital intensive. I have significant amount of cash sitting in the bank earning absolutely nothing. I was wondering whether I can use that cash to buy foreign stocks (Canada and US) and sell them according to my business needs overtime. This o...

Hi, When I first for my Tier 1 GE, I immediately invested £50k as a share capital into the company. In the last 9 months I have spent about £10k, so about £40k is left in the business account. Do I need to add/invest another £10k into the company when I went to switch in a couple of months time? Kin...

Thank you.

Hi,

Does anybody know whether 10 year long residency rule is based on ECHR or any other European law? If you had to bet, would you think it will be abolished in the next 3 years?

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

My tier 1 GE expires on 23rd Nov. How early can I apply to switch to Tier 1 E?

Stop scaring everyone. If you have the necessary documents and a good solicitor, you will be fine.

I just found this on Whatdotheyknow.

Do you still think it doesn't count in this situation?

Hi, One of my friends has been in the UK since June 2007 on Tier 4 and Tier 1 visas and has been outside the UK very few times and with no refusals. He moved to the UK in June 2007 on Tier 4 visa however in February 2007 he came to the UK as a visitor for 10 days on a 6 months visitor visa (valid fr...

Hi I am on Tier 1 GE and spent almost £3k on market research and other costs before setting up my company from my own wallet. Is there anyway I can transfer these costs to my company and record them as an expense in my management accounts as I want to switch to the main category in September? regards,

Unfortunately no switching is possible from Tier 4. Out of country application will probably get rejected due to lack of experience. They expect students to follow Tier 1 graduate route, I think.

Hi.

I was endorsed for Tier 1 Graduate but my university endorsed me. No university will ever endorse a student from outside university. The application process is extremely hard and long and they are taking a huge responsibility and risk for endorsing you for absolutely no fee.

regards,

Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Does anybody know what would be the effect of refusal of first application on long residency? assuming first application is submitted well in advance of visa expiry and second application leads to a visa approval after AR.

Thanks

Hi there, I applied as an entrepreneurial team with my co-founder and successfully received our Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visas using £50K as our own source of funding which will be invested, as we were previously on graduate entrepreneur visas. My questions are as follow: 1) For the extension, can we ...

The only part of genuine test that I am worried about is below: It says in the guidance that "where you have already registered in the UK as self-employed or as the director of a business, and the nature of the business requires mandatory accreditation, registration and/or insurance, whether th...

Thanks Casa, But do I have to register within six months of my visa start date? Thanks.

anyone else? Do I need to register as self-employed if I'm director of my company and receive no dividends or salary?

Hi,

I'm on Tier 1 Graduate Visa. I incorporated my company in December immediately after I switched from Tier 4. Do I need to register as self employed or being registered as a director is enough?

Kind regards
Ali
