Sorry to hear about your refusal. The T1 E visa anchors on the 50K and submitting a scanned copy of this statement was a sure recipe for disaster. I do not know the chances of success but what do you have to lose if your business is profitable.

I made a fresh application in August after my previous application was dismissed at the court of appeal,unfortunately my application was refused a second time. Home office made a blunder by saying i did not have the required amount for investment .I attached two bank statements £14800 in my account in the UK and equivalent of £38000 in my account in my home country(oanda currency converter) totalling £52,800. I also attached printed copies of conversion rates preceding my application.The level of funds has not reduced at all,even as as of today .The home office claims that from their calculation i only had access to £44,395. I don't have a right of appeal,confused at the moment

Did they ask you to provide a fresh statement during the appeal ?

Brother I think you have to either go for a judicial review or have to apply for a new visa, when u r saying they have not given you right of appeal . Because ur continuty is broken when u were at court of appeal and you have applied for a new visa , i think that is why they did not have given you right of appeal.

Hi/Salam every one in the Forum, I am new to this forum but was silently reviewing this forum off and on. Here is my time line
Applied as a Sole Team member
Accountancy firm business
Funds Half UK half Pakistan
Company formed 20 June 2014, i.e. Director from that date.
Practsing certificate was issued from professional body 3rd july hence signed first contract on 5h july
Appeal Allowed
3 contracts given,
1x contract on 5th july
1x contract on 7th july
1x contract on 16 july
went to Metro bank on 23 June 2014 to open business bank account but could not open due to visa problem , refusal letter from metro bank attached, went to barclays refused due to unknown reason , refusal letter dated 15 july 2014 attached.

Refusal Reason (Summary)
Section 41-SD(e)(iv) of Appendix A is not met;

Immigration Officer Objection

U r not meeting the criteria specified in section 41-SD(e)(iv) of appendix A of immigration rules specfically, i am rewriting his words
'ur contracts ______ and _______ does not specify duration of contracts this is because they both state" once it has been agreed this contract will remain valid for one year" does not specify a duration. or you should provide a letter from your institute confirming that you were trading on those dates .
No points were given for funds, only maintinance and degree points were given.
While i have as mentioned in refusal letter have wrote heading titled Duration in which i wrote ' Once it has been agreed, this letter will remain effective from one year to the next until this is replaced. All of the contracts were signed by both parties ( mutally agreed by implied signatures) and dated , origional contracts were submitted.
On the other hand i had opened an online bank acccount with cash plus banking which was activated on 16 or 17th july 2014, so cash plus banking cannot confirm those dates.
In letter it was written UKBA did not made any verification checks, can u please tell when they are going to do these checks and secondly I need money to widthraw from account like seven or 8 grand can u please tell me any back up like investment where it went. I have already submitted grounds of appeal but can u please tell me any good solicitor who can represent my case, I am based in London.can u tell me the appeal time line like how long it takes the whole appeal process. But it depends a lot on ur solicitor/barrister how he represents the case and fights on reasons of case.

Hi,

My application has been refused due to Advertisement and it is one of the important rule that you should have advertisement before 11 th July. I think if you appeal the decision will be negative. If you have advertisement prrof before 11th July I would suggest you have a fresh application.

Hey if you are going to request for a review on the decision, you need to submit a letter stating, inter alia, the reasons for that and what have been changed to your previous application. It would be a difficult one. You better call immigration lawyer to do that. 3 of my friends in China did this application and got refused for various reasons after being interviewed. My lawyer took up the cases and now they all got the grant. See if you need help !
