Re: Investment question for a tier one entrepreneur visa

I don't see why not. The medical industry is full of non medical professionals. Market and finance professionals for example.


What was the business plan you applied with? You are allowed to change businesses just expect more scrutiny on genuineness at extension

Re: Absences on a tier 1 Entrepreneur for settlement

If you time yourself correctly you can stay out of the UK in 5th year and not break the rolling 180 day rule. You are not likely to get leniency on 5th year as the rules are already known. Of course the issue is then the previous absences you may have already broken the new rolling rule (which is qu...

Re: I am on Thin ICE, till when?

I have never not given advice or given intentional bad advice ever because I may or not respect someone entrepreneurial qualifications? I ...

Re: I am on Thin ICE, till when?

I have not once been told by a moderator (except now) that I have a tone issue or condescending manner. As such how can I improve?

Can you point to my posts that are condescending, there must be many if it is for two years?

Re: What disadvantages I will have if baby born outside of UK

clearly not immigration related but many people raise their children here without the greater family around.

I think very good child healthcare and education.

@seasky I don't mean to be rude but you gave me 3 answers that simply don't tell me nor anyone else anything. Thank you.
You put a title that had little to do with the body. I helped clarify it. Now wait patiently.

Rejection based on genuineness seem to be getting a little more frequent, which is unfortunate. I do not think it is unfortunate. We see many in-genuine entrepreneurs on this forum.

Re: SAR fast track VS normal

I will add: it is my opinion (and just that and I realise this is conscientious) that the CWs do not have good evidence of your days abroad and rely on your list mostly with some corroborating evidence. While I heard they are setting up a system for noting days leaving UK (there is no exiting passpo...

Does the fast track SAR contain information about how much time was spent outside the UK? It does not. even the slow track does not. It -may- have coded landings (landing where there was an issue and the IO needs a bit of time to go to back room and check things up. Any normal landing will not show...

Re: Extension approved

it is clear you do not have to be a director in the same company you entered the route into (or extended)

There is no problem moving to a different business.
