Hi yche433,

Congrats for Visa. Could you please answer the following queries.


1) How long you kept 200k funds in the bank in abroad?

2) can you please list out the documents you kept for your Visa.

3) I also applied for the same Visa by maintaining the 100k funds for 3 weeks in UK bank and another 100k funds for 3 weeks in India bank. Does this cause problem for my Visa ? do we really need to maintain 200k funds till application is with UK BA?


All 200k funds were in my bank account in both UK and India banks.But for security reasons, I have withdrawn all my funds after I get a letter and bank statements from banks. Right now, I do not have money in India and UK banks. Does this create problem.

4) Did you keep business plan documents

5) Is 200k verification done to the bank by email or Call.

6) Do you know any one who applied for tier 1 entrepreneur visa by maintaining 200k funds for short time in abroad and got the visa.

hi,

I have submitted my application on 16th July for Tier1 Ent Cat D.
Bio given on 27th July. Its been over 5 months now. I have an urgent travel planned for January. Obviously I cant contact UKBA via phon as they are not going to provide any update unless its been 6 months.

Can anyone provide me the email address for UKBA. I really need to send them an email and explain my situation so that they can speed up the process(hopefully)

Please advice.

Many Thanks.

I would advise you to wait another month and hopefully u'le get response by then.. If u still don't get a response by then u can contact UKBA but before that i personaly think the only option they will give you is to withdraw your application if you have any travel plans..

Good luck..

About tier 1 ent maintenance funds

Post by eelove » Mon Dec 17, 2012 10:20 pm

Hi all, I have applied for tier 1 200k in late sep. still waiting for the result.
Well now I have a problem that my bank account where I keep my £900 maintenance is going to be closed by the bank without any reason on 27th Dec. my only choice is to move the £900 to another account of my. Will this be a problem? Will UKBA reject my application because of moving the maintenance fund? The 200k is still there in my another account which hasn't been moved at all .. Thanks!!!
