Any Part Qualified Accountant in the House?

[kuzaaah]

Hi folks,
Please I welcome any suggestion on how to go about making an application for the Tier 1 entrepreneur visa as a part qualified accountant ACCA. I have browsed the threads and various topics on the issue but members affected did not state if they were successful with their application or not. I will like to hear from members who were successful with their applications for the tier 1 entre visa. I am aware the non ACCA members do not get practicing certificates so can not run a public practice, but they can offer payroll, vat and do accounts to trail balance. Therefore they are expected to have the HMRC anti money laundering certificate and personal indemnity insurance. I am aware that only members with practicing certificate can open a public practice and do audit only after obtaining license to audit from ACCA. But I am part qualified, therefore I do not meet the criterion. My Question is
1. What SOC code do I use for my application?
2. Is registration with HMRC for the anti money laundering certificate and PIS sufficient and acceptable to HMRC?
3. What sort of services do I include in my business plan?
I am careful not to shoot my self on the foot by stating in my application details that would trigger further questions and possibly suspicion by the Case worker who reviews my file.

I just need to hear from anyone who has successfully applied and gotten the visa as a part qualified ACCA
thank you

1. What SOC code do I use for my application?
Accounting Technician

2. Is registration with HMRC for the anti money laundering certificate and PIS sufficient and acceptable to UKBA?
YES


3. What sort of services do I include in my business plan?
In UK legally you can open accounting practice without professional body lience if u hold HMRC ASP money laundering certificate. You can provide all kind of accounting services other than auditing.
I am careful not to shoot my self on the foot by stating in my application details that would trigger further questions and possibly suspicion by the Case worker who reviews my file.As you are only part qualified, i would suggest u not to show any ACCA registration etc in UKBA application. Try to register with other professional bodies such as AAT or IAB(very easy)

thank you


I know so many people who got their visa without any professional body registration. But again i would suggest u to get membership of AAT or IAB and get their practising certificate

Good luck

Hi Guys,
Pls Can any part qualified who has gotten his visa get in touch? I can't send private messages. Members like Sunshine28, Aravindarun, rdin. Pls I will like to ask some questions on how you went about your tier application. Other Part qualified can also suggest. I am running out of time.
