New successful case and testimonial on a UK Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa, Entry Clearance from Russia. A compulsory business plan was also done by us.

By 1st 4Immigration - #1 UK Immigration Experts -
“Dear Lucy, I got the (Entrepreneur) visa, until September 2018 which I'm really happy about. Thank you very much and (to) your company, I really appreciate what you did and now I know that I made a right decision to ask your advice.”

This came from Marina, who applied for an Entrepreneur Entry Clearance in Russia and has now secured her initial visa for 3 years, plus extra 4 months when you apply outside the UK, to give you more flexibility with the travelling dates to the UK (so you don’t have to rush and travel the next day). In this case Marina relied on the funds (£200,000) provided by the third party, Marina’s father. We asked to provide the relevant documents, such as a letter from Marina’s father (the third party) and a letter from a practicing legal representative in Russia. As we have had many applications from Russia and Ukraine (and we can read the documents in Russian), we were able to advise Marina that in Russia she should a[approach a notary (notarius) to prepare such a declaration (called Agreement or Soglashenie). Plus a notary (notarius) certifies this document on the same page, meaning it is usually a combined document of a declaration from the third party and a legal representative (while in most other countries these 2 documents are separate and this is what the Immigration Rules are referring too, also).   

Marina also asked us to prepare a business plan for her future company in the UK. Such a business plan is compulsory for this visa category from 6 April 2015 and we provide such service (a business plan for an Entrepreneur visa, prepared by an Immigration Entrepreneur: http://www.1st4immigration.com/business-plan-writing.php. A business plan included a summary of the business idea, market research (based on the basic information provided by the client and based on the client’s field of expertise), description of the products/services (marketing services in this case), pricing, promotion. we also usually add the regulatory requirements, such as registration for VAT, compulsory licence to practice in the UK (if any), company incorporation (we also check whether the name if available), quotes from the accountants and many other useful information. All these demonstrate that the visa applicant (our client) has made a thorough research for this application and is very serious about establishing a business in the UK (in the Rules this is referred as a Genuine Entrepreneur Test).

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...
