You worked for one day or up until December 2017?
Did they interview you and ask you about this?

Per month or during the whole period??

Why were you working when you knew you would be breaching your visa conditions?

Did you work one or two days before receiving the decision, or were these one or two days worked after you received your entrepreneur permit?

What exactly did they write in the letter?
If you worked after receiving your approval, it will be very tough to fight this but you should seek legal advice.

It's a difficult one to clear on JR. you can't argue that you were struggling that's why you carried on your job even it's one day a week.

I am not sure why you are not clear about how much you have actually worked ?

It looks like you were working one day a week for 5 months ?

If so, that is going to be tough to argue.

Having said that, I don't understand the "deception" part. You were in violation of the immigration rules and so they should curtail your visa.

However, unless you deliberately gave wrong information, it can't be deception.
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.

Have they actual refused under deception? Is deception mentioned in the refusal?

In which case the Home Office is fully aware of your period of employment from HMRC records. . :idea:

Have you hired a solicitor?
The issue is that you continued for several months even though the biometric card clearly says you can work for your own business only.

The issue is that proving that is difficult, and also, being unaware of the rules may not be an acceptable argument to HO.
However, you could try to explain the above in your admin review that you left the job as soon as it came to your knowledge. You should seek legal help from another solicitor as well, to see how to best structure your argument.

I know so many people who left their jobs the day they received approval. Some had financial difficulties after that.
It was in my mind that HO will probably start looking on this side. Because so many people kept working after approval even knowing that they ain't allowed to work under tier 1 entrepreneur.
Anyway get in touch with a bestest solicitor asap.
