How I got my Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa in 1 month!

[a85yousaf]

Hi
Can please some body clear me few things.
1. ''The report must show your name, as named in your application form, as the Director of a business that is actively trading and not struck-off, or dissolved or in liquidation on the date that the printout was produced''.
I register the company and got only two documents from Companies House which are certificate of incorporation and memorandum of association'' .
I can not see my name as a director is mentioned on both the documents only my name is mentioned on memorandum of association as under Name of each subscriber.is this what shows me as a director?
My 2nd question is
The date of this document should be within the three months immediately before the date of this application.
Means i need to submit my application within 90 days of incorporation not after 90 days of incorporation ?
Kindly any help will b much appreciated .
Regards

Hi

I wanted to know if u would know that if the funds are in overseas account(50,000) would the process be longer? Also at any point after the visa is granted do I need to transfer the funds to my Uk account

Thanks

I understand that you showed your funds in a UK bank account.
Did you also include any letter from the bank or is that not required for funds held in UK?

Hi there,
First of all, congratulations for your new visa!!!! What a dream became a reality. I would very appreciate your intention to help others who are waiting to get this. So could you please advise me on following information
1) What is actually "No earlier than 3 months" meanse? In the guidance notes, in another place, it says "Within the last 3 month"
So is that mean I can register with HMRC as self employed when 2 months before the application date? OR,
Do I have to register it at least 3 months before (Eg: 4 or 5 months before as valied periods) the application date ???
MY VISA RUNS OUT 23RD SEPTEMBER AND 3 MONTH PERIOD STARTED ON 23RD JUNE. SO PLEASE HELP ME
2) What documents we can submit to prove " Trading contracts"

Thank you very much

Dear memyselfandi,

Thanks in advance for opening this thread and helping other in this issue. My question here is: Can we show the maintenance fund in main applicant and dependent's account for 90 days. For eg. if I have to show £1500 then can I show £1200 in my account and £300 in my partner account who is the dependent of mine.

Once again thank you very much for such a great suggestion.

Hi hello, Salam Alaykum , Namaskar . Congratulations on your visa sister... . I would like to also discuss my situation with other brothers and sisters on this post .
Well , I am a software developer with a handsome contracting package now and am on my post study visa right now which expires soon in the end of november. Moreover , I heard that if i register a company and well get a Entrepreneur visa i can still do the contracting jobs but not the permanent ones... I was wondering if i have the right information about this . I would request the group members to share your thoughts of doing contracting IT jobs here rather than going for a TIER2 visa . You can mail me down on er.riyaz1n1@gmail.com with your thoughts...We can share the information and indeed every information is worth.. ... cheers...

Hello everybody,

I have started this new topic because I got my Entrepreneur visa approved today and I want to help anybody who wants to know something about my experience with which they can benefit.

I applied for Entrepreneur visa on £50,000 investment from within the UK, with my 3 dependents (husband and two children) switching from PSW visa.

My visa processing time is as follows:

Application made: 6th June 2012
Application received by home office: 7th June 2012
Fee taken from my credit card: 8th June 2012
Letter to register Biometric details send on 11th June 2012.
Letter received: 13th June 2012
There was a problem with one of the letters of my dependents, so I called them on 14th June 2012 on 08706067766 and also emailed them at appointmentexceptions @ homeoffice. gsi. gov. uk
New letter sent 20th June 2012. Biometric details sent the same day.
Home office contacted me about a problem with my evidence on maintenance funds on 27th June 2012, which I clarified. I was advised to send further evidence within 7 working days.
Evidence sent 28th June 2012.
Evidence received at home office: 29th June 2012 (Tracked on Royal Mail website)
Inquired to get acknowledgement of receipt of evidence at Home Office just to check the status of my application on 3rd July. I was told the evidence was received by the visa officer on that day and that he would check it in due course.
Visa approved 4th July 2012.
Approval letter and all my documents received today 9th July.
Biometric Residence Permits also received today just 1 hour after receipt of Approval Letter.

Overall time: approx 1 month.

Alhamdulillah I am soooo happy guys. I hope all your visas get approved as soon as possible so that you can be happy too.

I just want you to know if you are applying the same visa as me, and if you have any questions on exactly what documents to send, if you want to ask anything about Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa switched from PSW visa with dependents, I am very happy to help and share all my knowledge, because I want as many people as possible to succeed because I know what a big dream this is for all of us. All I need in return is a small prayer from you for me and my family for our future.

Take care.

First of all Congratulations to you for getting Visa.

I am also in the process of preparing documents for my younger brother who is on PSW in England and has done Masters in Telecom from the UK.

The funds are in Pakistan.Can you email me the sample letters by Banks and third party letters of availability of funds?

Thanks.
Dr.S.Hassan.

Conratulations once again!

Please I have 1 question:

1) Did u need to open your company within 3 months of application or have u had the company since? I opened a company last year which I have been using but I am not sure if I have to open another one.

[fated87]

Hi, congrats to u. I received my visa approx a month time as well, was really surprise with the speed. I would like to ask, did the approval letter specify which section? For example, you apply under section D, switch from psw to entrepeuneur. The letter I received, doesn't actually specify which section, and the time when I apply, my bank have over £200k. That's why I am just wondering if I would like extend in the end of the 3yrs, do I need to invest no less than £200k or £50k??!!

Hi Fated87,
Congratulations on getting you visa. If
1. your immigration status is Tier 1 (psw) when u r applying for Tier 1 ( Entrepreneur) visa and
2. You have supplied all the documentation necessary for the Group D application;
you will fall under the Group-D applicant category even though you have got 200k in your bank account. Nothing to bauther about that. If you still have doubt about it you can simply email to home office.

and
could you please post the below dates of your application, that will be helpful for me and other applicants to guess about our application process times and make our business plans to go ahead.

Date of application:
Date of biometrics:
any communication from HO:
Date of approval letter:
Where the funds shown: (inside or out side UK).

Have fun...
