i am very confused i have been working as a web developer for like 6 months now.. just opened my company and i am ready to apply for the tier 1 entrepreneur visa. But i was reading the policy guidance and it got me very confused that wat i am doing is on NQF LEVEL 4 but UKBA will not consider such activities. as stated in page 7 of policy guidance i.e as following

(iv) are working in an occupation which appears on the list of occupations
skilled to National Qualifications Framework level 4 or above, as stated in
the Codes of Practice in Appendix J of the Immigration Rules and the Codes of Practice for Tier 2 Sponsors published by the UK Border Agency, and youprovide the specified evidence in paragraph 41-SD. “Working” in this context means that the core service your business provides to its customers or clients involves the business delivering a service in an occupation at this level. It excludes any work involved in administration, marketing or website functions for the business.''

It means persons who develop websites or work as a marketing consultant etc can not apply for this visa?? experts opinion is required...

thank you for the reply ... but it still doesnt make anything clear to me. if you could explain it here it would be helpful for all of us.(( Working” in this context means that the core service your business provides to its customers or clients involves the business delivering a service in an occupation at this level. It excludes any work involved in administration, marketing or website functions for the business.''))... this is what confusing me..

The business must trade at level 4 or above regardless of what title you may apply to your own tasks within the business. Basically, you can't be a minicab company or a corner-shop and then apply a title to your own job description at level 4 or above (call yourself the marketing director or VP in charge of mergers and acquisitions) for that organisation, because the organisation in which you work, or own, or are a director of, is not trading at level 4 or above.

Hi ALL,

I have similar sort of question here.

I am applying from PSW to Tier 1 Ent (Switch)

I am applying as Ent Team and have registered IT Solution company where main business activity is Website Development and SEO, and also will be providing E Marketing / Marketing Consultancy services too.

I will be working as Web Developer / Designer (SOC CODE: 2131 )
My Team member will be working as Marketing Manager / Consultant. SOC CODE: 1132 )

Both SOC Codes are at NQF level 6.

As per my understanding I am ok as level of business is NQF LEVEL 4 above and occupation is ok too.

but expert please advise

kind regards

Rehan

Hi Lucapooka,

I mentions expert please advise for the people who have applied or are dealing with people cases and providing services etc I didn't put these comments to offend anyone.

I know this forum is commons and I never mention anything about anyone not to reply to this post.

You are not offending anyone! You are perfectly entitled to request information from whatever source you wish. But if, indeed, you want an expert opinion I would have to pass as I am not a qualified legal professional.

I am really sorry to read your comments in regards to this, As someone who have helped people and answered more than 5k queries on this forum writing that I have to pass as I am not an expert legal advisor (I have never asked a legal advisor to comment I just mention the word experts advise for someone who have dealt with this kind of query before and had experience of it but same time I never mention other not allowed to comments or advice).

Thanks Lucapooka you don't have to answer, advise or comments if you don't want to.

Just because I mention the word expert advise and if you think you are not you would have just passed this post rather than asking for explanation to identify the expert on the forum.

but here is the correction anyone please advise not just EXPERTS.

Thanks for that

here is correction once again anyone can advice / comments not just EXPERTS
