Hi all,

I applied for Tier1 Entrepreneur visa in London on 6th June and payment was deducted on 8th june. I am switching from Tier1 Graduate Entrepreneur to Entrepreneur.Got the Biometric letter on 18th June . I have not heard back from UK VI since then.The website says decision would be made within 8 weeks and they would inform me if i need to provide further documents or go for an interview. I just called home office and the status of my application is still ongoing. I need to travel on urgent basis , Is there anything I can do? I am really worried now. ALso, how long does it take to get the visa once the interview process is done.

I would really appreciate if you guys could help me here. This has been the most frustrating process ever.

Thanks

Hi Jenny02,

I think they are really busy as a lot of people are extending their Tier 1 visas. I am on Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur too. Did you apply by yourself or did you use a solicitor?

Hi Jenny,
Have you heard anything yet? have you had your interview done? I applied in March from Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur to Tier 1 Entrepreneur.

Had my interview in June but no reply yet.
