拿到Tier 1 Entrepreneur的签证有一周了,当初申请的时候也借鉴过坛子里面的经验,所以很有必要做一下回馈,希望能帮到准备申请的人。
签证是3月12号寄的,3月26号打指纹,3月28号签证通过。
具体准备时间是2个月。忘了说,签证是通过英国律师寄的,但是所有材料都是自己准备的,律师的任务是帮你审核材料和查漏补缺还有写CoverLetter(毕竟律师是专业人士,他们能想到一些你自己想不到的问题,把所有漏洞都补上)。个人觉得请律师是见仁见智,如果你有很强的diy能力就自己申请,如果像我这种求心安的话,就请律师。
个人背景介绍:civil engineering毕业,有英国工作经验,有大学,government和industry的connection。
