Director

" The Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) category closed to new applications on 29 March 2019. However, applications for an extension of leave to remain in this category will still be open until 05 April 2023. If you wish to apply for settlement in this category, applications for settlement will be accepted by UK Visas and Immigration until 05 April 2025.

The new deadlines for Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneurs) are slightly longer, with extension applications being accepted until 05 July 2025, and settlement applications being accepted until 05 July 2027.

These applications can be complex and must be supported with the correct documentary evidence.

Our legal team at OTB Legal have a great track record of getting successful outcomes for applications for extensions to live in the UK on the basis of your business (Tier 1). Why not talk to us about your application? "

How we work - including our transparent pricing

We find that our 3 stage system of working with clients gives everyone the greatest clarity on what can be achieved, how it will happen and how much it will cost.

Assess

Price - £0.00

Before we take on a case we always want to establish what the right kind of application is for you and this is what the Assessment Stage is all about.

We find out more about you and what you want to achieve. It is an informal discussion which can be delivered how you want it, whether that is over the phone, using video conferencing or at our easily accessible office - it is entirely your choice.

This stage is completely free and there is no obligation to take on our paid services. At the end of the Assessment Stage you will have a clear plan as to the range of applications available, the costs involved and how likely you are to get a successful outcome.

Take advantage of this free legal advice from the UK's leading immigration lawyers:

Advice on, and assistance with, completion of the complex online application form.
Preparing the tailored bundle of evidence that will support your application.

Want more information about this type of application?

Thank you for the time you have spent on my case. The service has always been 100%. You have been 100% too, I’ve never met a more friendly solicitor and as for the barristers you have provided I couldn’t ask for no more. I don’t see yourself as legal representative more as a friend. I’m so grateful for all the hard work you have done and I’m forever in your debt.
