Tier 1 Entrepreneur Processing Time (Extension Applications ONLY)

[therock]

Hi all, I have applied for tier 1 200k in late sep. still waiting for the result.
Well now I have a problem that my bank account where I keep my £900 maintenance is going to be closed by the bank without any reason on 27th Dec. my only choice is to move the £900 to another account of my. Will this be a problem? Will UKBA reject my application because of moving the maintenance fund? The 200k is still there in my another account which hasn't been moved at all .. Thanks!!!

You should be okay, UKBA won't know automatically that your account is closed etc. Just move the funds to another account asap, and if UKBA asks for fresh bank statements (which is very rare) you can write a covering letter with the new statements and a letter from other bank that account is closed etc.

Wish you best of all.

hi,

I have submitted my application on 16th July for Tier1 Ent Cat D.
Bio given on 27th July. Its been over 5 months now. I have an urgent travel planned for January. Obviously I cant contact UKBA via phon as they are not going to provide any update unless its been 6 months.

Can anyone provide me the email address for UKBA. I really need to send them an email and explain my situation so that they can speed up the process(hopefully)

Please advice.

Many Thanks.

same situation here application 20 july biometic 8 august
plz do let us know as soon as you get reply from home office.

I am amazed UKBA dont value the time of the applicant.

and also please share the email address of UKBA

UKBA dont give any information they always ask us to wait 6 months before they reveal any information about passport

i want to know is this 6 months from the date of application submitted or is it from the date of biometric?

Hi All,
I hope every one is doing good. I have applied for my Entrepreneur visa at the end of July'12 along with one dependent and successfully received my visa few days ago. But "RESTRICTED WORK" mentioned on my dependent's BRP card aswell. I guess it is a mistake on BRP card.
Can any one please respond whether it is a mistake or not.

Regards,
RAM

[rehan01]

Hi Baku,

how many contract you have supplied when u initially applied?

also after how much time ukba contacted you and ask for additional contract?

look like they contacted you to check the progression of the business and want to check they your business is in operation ?

What was the nature of your business ?

please advise as it will be very helpful of many of us.

Regards

Rehan
