Hello everyone.
I need your assistance.
I have applied tier 1 entereneur from PSW and refused in march. I have appealed and hearing date is in October.
the chances of success are very low and my solicitor advised me to withdraw and make new application via Venture Capital.
I am confused now as If I withdraw , what will be my status? will it be PSW?
is there any impact on long residency due to withdrawing appeal?
will I count as overstayed?
Also see the following guidelines please.
Apply as a former Tier 1 (Post-study worker)
You can apply if you:
•are applying to change (switch) your visa (‘leave to remain’)
•have or were last granted a visa or leave to enter the UK as a Tier 1 (Post-study worker)
•have registered as a director of a business or as self-employed in the 3 months before you apply
•are working in a job on the list of occupations at the National Qualifications Framework level 4 and above
You must have been involved in running one or more UK businesses (eg you’re listed as a company director) before 11 July 2014 to be eligible to apply with your own funds or funds from a venture capital firm.
Otherwise you can only apply with funding from a UK entrepreneurial seed funding competition endorsed by UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) or a UK government department.
also,
from Guideline states that
48. Funds from more than one of these sources may be combined to total the required £50,000.
However, funds from a venture capital firm cannot be included if you are applying to switch
from Tier 4/other relevant student categories, or Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) (unless you can take
advantage of the Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) Transitional arrangement – 11 July 2014).
Your assistance will be appreciated.
thanks
Ali
