Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa process is ridiculous!

Post by Nuri » Tue Apr 09, 2013 7:32 pm

Post application on 5th February 2013.
Done biometric on 22nd February.
Got letter dated 15th March for the changes under new law ....
Applied from PSW visa with £50,000.

How can you invest the funds in your business if you don't even know whether you will get the visa to stay in the country? You need to have business premises or registered address, advertise your company or services, have contracts with clients, buy equipment and materials.
How can you advertise and get contracts from clients if you don't even have a proper status in the country whilst your visa is being considered?
You follow the guidance as to documents and format but why is it your fault when a bank cannot provide you with the format requested as per their regulations and procedures?
Why can't you advertise using your company name, specially if you have long difficult names - newspaper advertisement...
What about the processing time? 90% within 4 weeks of biometric done - it's more like 10% within 4 weeks of biometric done.
Review in most cases are unsuccessful ...
Appeals are not allowed ....

Has the flaw in this visa being abused by the UKBA at the expense of genuine candidates.
