Application rejected as Invalid

Post by HELLEN » Sat Dec 13, 2014 8:50 pm

Hi,
My TIER 1 application Entrepreneur 50k (PSW) was rejected as invalid and in the letter from homeoffice it is stated by the case handler that they send me the bio metric letter on 5 separate occasions and i didnt enrol for biometric therefore the case is decisioned 'REJECT as invalid'.
I actually received only one letter and that was recorded letter dated 7th of november 2014 stating that I've got 15 working days to do it. I did my bio metric on 22nd of november 2014.
I've got the reject as invalid application letter on the 26th of November which stated that the case handler made decision on 21st of november. Fee will refunded to me shortly but so far its not been refunded.
I mean I cant understand that if I've been given 15 working days to do my biometric than why the case handler did not waited for the time to get expired. Why he decisioned the case prior to allocated time.
Now Iam doing Pre-Action Protocol letter by myself without any solicitor.
Can any one please help me in this case as I am really looking for help and its kinda urgent.
Can i do the preaction protocol by my self or is it necessary to hire some solicitor for it.
Also if they dont reply me and for instance If i want to withdraw this preaction letter can i get my application fee as a refund or not.

Please guys help me as I am really depressed.
Thanks.

See the link below (page 38). It might be helpful.
Case worker must wait 15 working days and then send a warning letter and wait 17 working days.
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... 1.0EXT.pdf

"If the main applicant has not enrolled at a Post Office within 15 working days of the date of
the biometric information notification letter, you must send them the rejection warning letter
to warn them their application may be rejected."
