Compliance Services for Entrepreneurs & Investors while holding a visa

By 1st 4Immigration - #1 UK Immigration Experts -
If you are holding a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) or a Tier 1 (Investor) visa we are offering to help with compliance with the Immigration Rules for the duration of the visa and extensions.  

For a yearly fee we help to comply with the Rules (and changes of the Rules). For example, during the 3 years of an initial Entrepreneur visa you have to register a business within specific time limit, create 2 jobs for certain types of people and for the duration of 12 months for each job.

An Investor has 3 months to invest the equivalent of GBP 750 000 in the ways specified in the Immigration Rules and it does not include property. The remaining amount of GBP 250 000 does not have to be invested but still has to be maintained in the permitted ways. Investments have to be maintained for the duration of the visa, which includes compensating the value if the market changes.

Our compliance service includes:

 -  Unlimited number of questions re the Immigration Rules (related to this visa category)  over the course of a year, so you would have someone to ask if you need an advice.  

- Reminder of the relevant deadlines, such as a deadline for registering a business, creating jobs or investing the funds, as applicable to your category. 

- Relevant checks for Entrepreneurs, such as whether a person you employ is eligible to be counted under the Entrepreneur visa scheme.

-  Guidance on investment for Entrepreneurs, such as “paying yourself a salary isn’t counted”.

- Advice for Investors on whether investment type meets the requirements of the Immigration Rules. This is advice on the type of an investment, if you require someone to arrange an investment for you, you would need an financial adviser for that (we can recommend the financial companies/banks who offer services to Investor visa holders but you are not obliged to use them).  Guidance on whether your investments continue to meet the requirements after the point of investment. For example, what to do if the stock market changes and value of your investments goes down.  

- Documents you needed to keep, with relation to this visa and which you may need at the next visa stage.

- Advice on what to do if your circumstances change. For example, if you wish to change from trading a sole trader to having a limited company.

- Other conditions, such as rights to work in the UK for you and dependants.

Updated May 2020: UK visa work continues - latest update

By -
UK immigration authorities continue to process visa applications, albeit not as fast as they normally would. The visa centres are beginning to gradually re-opening from 1 June 2020 in the UK and abroad. Regardless of when your particular centre re-opens, it is still possible to submit your application online. If your visa expires soon, you can apply for your next visa "on-time", i.e. before your current visa expires, by making such an application online and then waiting for the further steps. This keeps you within the Rules and does not make you an overstayer.  Even better, the actual documents (supporting evidence) can be submitted later, thus giving you even more time to prepare while remaining within the Rule on visa expiry dates. We usually have 45 days to provide the documents (ie upload them online to the Government portal) after the online "submission" mentioned above. This is extended for as long as it will take to clear up the backlog.  If you...

How do we know? We, 1 st 4Immigration Ltd,   were chosen by the UKVI to take part in a survey to provide a feedback on the upcoming system. We are very honoured! As can be seen on the Home Office letter (pictured), we were selected as one of only approximately 50 firms in the whole country, following the request of the Home Office to the OISC. We had a visit from 2 Home Office officials in November 2017. What a great day and what a productive visit! The officials informed us they had been trying hard to promote the online application process for in-country applications, such as FLR(M) for spouses and partners of UK citizens. The online applications have existed for entry clearance (when applying outside the UK) for many years now. Yet the in-country online application process has so far been relatively unknown and unused. It can be found here: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/family-routes At the moment most FLR(M) and FLR(FP) applications ar...
