Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa Success Story: Entry Clearance Granted to Main Applicant and Dependents  

We recently received the wonderful news that a client (the Applicant) and his dependents (wife and daughter) had been granted Entry Clearance to the UK under the Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa route. In our initial consultation, the Applicant informed us that he had acquired several qualifications attending universities in the USA and UK and had worked for numerous organisations in the financial sector all around the world. The Applicant now wanted to establish and set up a business in the UK. The Applicant also informed us that his wife and daughter would also be applying as his dependents.  

The case for Entry Clearance as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa Migrant

The Applicant was an Indian national residing in Singapore with his wife and daughter holding Permanent Residence status. We were informed that the Applicant had graduated with multiple degrees from top universities in the USA and the UK and had worked for numerous multi-national organisations in the financial services sector. The Applicant had ample qualifications and experience in the financial service sector and informed us that he planned to set up a business in the UK. After speaking to our solicitors and barristers, the Applicant instructed us to prepare his Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa application together with his wife and daughter as his Tier 1 Dependents.
