Dear MILI if you read on application form page 31 carefully it says:

If all the evidence of investment funds has now been provided, go to H.
If some of the funds have already been invested in a UK business, continue at G11.

And all required things you are talking about comes in G18 to G23 but if you can show evidence of investment funds we do not need to fill G11 to G23 part and can go straight to section H. Please read things carefully before saying someone that you are wrong. I hope you will understand this time.




You are absolutely right. PSW holders dont need to fill in G section if you have met the invetments funds straight go to H section.

I am currently working as well and thinking to switch to Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa.

Is there anyone with the same situation would like to venture into a partnership together?

Well at this moment things are not clear. I hope whatever your solicitor has said may be right and I was assuming the same thing before but now according to UKBA its a mistake in application form which they will correct soon. Have a look at UKBA reply below:

Thank you for your e-mail.

An applicant who currently has leave under Tier 1 (Post-Study work) who is relying on £50,000 that has not already be invested in the UK does need to show evidence of Registration as a Director/self-employer and Graduate level business activity. We will amend the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) application form as soon as possible as it is not clear that the applicant needs to provide this information.

Hi everybody,,

I have been reading this forum for quite a while and with time lots and lots of confusions are coming and going,, regarding the level 4 list I was thinking to open a mobile acessory or dress shop but when i discussed this to my lawyer he said no you have to choose something from that list ,, when i said that I can say in my visa application that I am marketing manager of my bisness may be i can join an already runing shop which is a registred company and under that compnay i say that i am marketing manager but he said no he explained me with an exmaple that in the level 4 list marketing manager profession is there so you could run a marketing consultancy firm,, I am very confused now as you guys have said that if you are opening a resturant you can show that you are customer service manager,,,, same is my case but why my lawyer is confusing me,,, either he is right or you guys are right,,,,, kindly give me your comments
many thanks

Thanks MILI.

But confusion still exists! where he mentioned that you need to have graduate level job. so that means if you register a company and the work you do for that company should be at gradute level right?

and where he said you need to show the evidence of graduate level job. which is advertisement and contracts with third parties?

how can you register a company within three months and can get contracts straight after!!!

Hi Humv,

I think everyone is confused about this visa. I spoke to UKBA they said “ just follow the application form” and I said if I follow the application form I will be missing section d..UKBA said they are not aware of any mistake in the application. Anyways I have emailed them to get a confirmation..

I Guess no one is really sure I approached 3 solicitors and all of them have three different views.. and I got to apply for visa in june .I still have not decided what to do….

Hi MILI

People are making things so complicated. it is very straight forward. As I said eralier there is not mistake in Application form. I have contacted UKBA myself after that and even they are not aware of it.
Let suppose if they have made any mistake and people apply via existing application form, UKBA is not going to refuse as it is thier application form uploaded by them.

I personally enquired from couple of solicitors and they all said you do not need anything except these basic requirements. Also if you go to the following link

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... documents/

and read evidences for initial applicants. It makes everything clear. In the policy guidance, application form, and on the website it doesnt ask for the evidence of contracts for initial applicants(who have not invested their all/some of money before)


I have to apply end of this month too. So i would suggest you what I am going to do, follow the application form and go for it. Trust me you will be ok :)

You are right Humv. Actually lot of people are confused because what UKBA says in its policy guidance is not clear and contradicts with application form and top of that many solicitors still themselves do not know the accurate information. But its true that we should follow what the application form says and if there would be any mistake in application form, then its UKBA fault. Hope things will be clear in coming days soon.

Hi Guys,

I have contacted my solicitor too, he says your previous job contract or your self employment registration can prove the work you do is above NQF level 4. Also, the contract proof is only required if you have done any work after having registered as self employed such as invoice of the work done, or copy of contract if you are in a maintenance contract with any firm for maintaining their IT Equipment or administering their computer which is my case.

Hope this helps, please keep on posting more as its very confusing documentation by the looks of it.

I completely agree with this. My solicitor said exactly the same thing. He said your registration for slef employment/Director of Comapny will prove your work is at above NVQ level.If you have done some work you have to show evidence if you have not just follow the basic requirements.

I dont think you will be awarded points if you own shop and register self employed, you may be better off registering as director because being a director may be an occupation above NQF level 4. Please wait for experts to respond though.
