How did NA Law make a successful Tier 1 Entrepreneur Accelerated Settlement application?
NA Law Solicitors was approached by a client of Chinese origin who had initially come to the UK on a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa. As the restaurant business which the client had set up was very successful, he was eager to apply via the Tier 1 Entrepreneur accelerated settlement route. After reading our positive reviews online, he decided to instruct us to receive assistance with his Tier 1 Entrepreneur Accelerated Settlement application and to strengthen his chances of success.
Our team of expert immigration lawyers helped the client apply for accelerated settlement based on the fact that his business employed 10 or more people who were UK citizens. We collected detailed information about the client’s restaurant and his employees to demonstrate to the Home Office that he met the criteria for accelerated settlement under Tier 1 Entrepreneur route. After a short period of waiting, our client received the news that his application had been approved.
With the client’s family having obtained Indefinite Leave to Remain, they continue to receive support from NA Law Solicitors with regards to general immigration concerns and applying for British nationality for himself and his family to improve their future prospects in terms of education and other benefits.
