Post by max4444 » Wed Mar 01, 2017 4:21 pm

Hi

i have applied for ILR on 5 years continuous residence through tier1 general route.
I have been called by UKVI for a interview on 6th march 2017 they have not mention any reason.

they just wrote
"" we are currently considering your application and would like you to attend an interview to help us assess your application""

am bit worried what could be reason

is this something related to my self employment( ltd company director) + full-time salaried earnings i need to prove they are genuine.?
or

Recently they have also asked me to provide the reason for the absence from UK for period of 66 days in 5 years which i submitted as additional self declaration letter

do i need to carry any documents for interview?



if anybody on the same route and whoever crossed these interviews your feedback's are really appreciated. any advice will help some one on the same path .

If you search the forum, you will see that many Tier 1 G to ILR applicants have had a) interviews and b) some refusals. It all depends on your circumstances/tax amendments/income declared to HO vs HMRC etc.

I think Home Office is interviewing applicants who have shown more then one source of income during their ILR application.

Hi,

I've been asked to come for an interview at the VFS/UKVI office in central London.
Could you please let me know whether you went there as well?
It was a skype interview or a face to face interview?

Thank you in advance.

3) Questions related to HMRC tax declaration ( they have complete paper work from hmrc about our tax returns)
4) Questions relate to clients ( nature of business, address, times of visit , how do you approach)


it is completely depends on individual cases .

make sure you have all the answers for every single transaction about money coming in and going out from business account and personal account.

whatever you say interviewer fills the questionnaire and a copy of recorded session will send out to case worker

Hi max4444,

In your interview, they asked questions about your current ILR application only or last 5 years self employment related questions like initial and extension application clients, services you provide etc?
Also, do they asked you any questions related to amendments?

Your reply is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Maxx,

Sorry to hear the news.

I could suggest you some points if you can provide me with the following info

Was the rejection based on genuineness on current self employment income?
How they have decided the income was not genuine?

• Business Accounts



11. whether the earnings claimed appear to have been eamed through genuine employment, rather than being borrowed, gifted, or. otherwise shown in your financial transactions or records without being earned; And

111. whether the business from which the earnings are claimed can be shown to exist and be lawfully and genuinely trading;

You ai:e claiming to have earned a total admissible income of £38,412.27 over the period 1
2015 to 2016 from a combination of self employed earnings from:
Ltd in the UK, and salaried earnings from- - : UK You have
- .
claimed 20 points for previous earnings under Appendix A of the Inuµigration Rules on the basis
of your earnings as detailed below.

On 24 Mar h 2017 you attended an interview in relation to your Tier 1 General ILR application.

Salaried employment with :

You have claimed e.arnings o £16,212.27 from your salaried employment witn
for the period from I - 2015 to : l 2016. The payments detailed by each of the payslips are corroborated by the Santander bank statements you have provided in support of your application. •.

During the interview you confirmed that your role in your salaried position for l
. was a 'front line technical support analyst' which involved taking calls 'from end

users to solve IT problems'. You also confirmed that you worked 35 hours per week for this employment from Monday to Friday.


Self employed earnings from

You have claimed points on the basis of £22,200 earnings in the form of Dividends from your self employed business As evidence of your earnings you have provided invoices, dividends, company accounts and bank statements.
You confirmed in your interview that the nature of your business is 'domestic and software development' and that you 'provide the application for the clients like generating reports from the web based application. And the coding for the application'.
You confirmed that the hours of work for your self employment was '30 hours per week it depends on the work. I work on weekends and in the evenings after the work'.

Earnings/Hours worked

With reference to questions 4 and 5 of the interview transcript you were asked the following:

Q4: How many hours a week do you work, and on what days?
A: For] I work 35 hours per week Monday to Friday
I work 30 hours per week it depends on the work I work on weekends and in the evenings after the work.
QS: In your application you are claiming earnings from self employment and employed work. How do you manage your time between your self employment and employed work?
A: I use a day planner. Once I have finished the work from - : my IT work is home based I log in from home I work evenings and weekends.

You were also_ asked the following question:

QS: Can you confirm the address where your business is registered?
A:

Q9: Your business address on your invoice shows you are operating from Glasgow but your residential address shows you are based in Belfast - how can you operate your business from Glasgow living in Belfast? How long does it take you _to get to Glasgow?
A: I have got a home in Glasgow. Currently I am living in Belfast but my wife lives in Glasgow in the Flat. It takes 45 minutes by Flight. The whole journey takes 1 and half hours. I do on line check in. I came to Belfast for work I work for :

Q10: Where do you physically carry out consultations - i.e. do you meet with clients at their premises?
A: No, I meet them through Skype, it is quicker and faster_

From the payslips yoµ have provided as evi ence of your salaried income, the rate of pay is £7.50 per hour which would equate to a daily rate of £52.50 per day The hours worked are approximately 35 hours per week with overtime showing for some weeks.

From the invoices you have provided as evidence•of your self employed earnings, the rate of pay is £200 per day. '

It is notable that the time spent travelling between your homes in Belfast and Glasgow would have an effect on the hours which you were available to work, and it therefore does not seem plausible that you were able to travel and also work for 65 hours•per week for both employed and self employed jobs. In addition we find it questionable that you would choose to work in a salaried position in ,vhich you earn £7.50 per hour/£52.50 per day in Belfast whilst your wife resides in Glasgow, when you claim that you are able to earn £200 per day as self employed working from home. This raises doubt regarding the earnings you have claimed from self employment.

Furthermore, it is also noted that the financial costs of running two homes plus the costs of flying.between Glasgow and Belfast would be quite substanti , which further adds weight to our concerns as stated above.

Client


You have provided 14 invoices for your clien, t _
£29,000. During your interview you confirmed that ' and the nature of their business is 'IT development'.

T.td showing a total sales of
. Ltd is your only client

A search of the internet using the name and address or _ Ltd does not show a website. C mpanies House shows the nature of the business is 'Business and domestic software development'.


We have concerns regarding the payments from your clien•t

_ f:f Solutions and the invoices

and the bank statements provided. The dates which you have invoiced your client are the same as the dates on which your client paid the amounts owed into your bank account. It does not seem plausible for a business to invoice a client and receive payment on the same day.
- In addition it is noted that your client's business is IT related and yet does not have a website which rai es further doubts.•regarding if the earnings you have claimed.

Advertising

During the interview you were questioned about how you advertised your business and fourid your clients as follows:

Q11: How do you attract clients to your business?
A: Through recruitment agency, I self market, I approach them and send my business profile to them.

Q15: How did your clients know about your business?
A: Through the Agency 's

Your response only provides basic information which is of concern as we would expect the owner of a business to be able to divulge more detailed information regarding how a client secured the services of their business.

Bank Statements

During the interview you were questioned about transactions showing on your bank accounts as follows:

Q23: Your bank statement for your business shows that as soon as you are paid by '
Solutions you instantly pay yourself Dividend - why is this and why do you not wait to the end of each month before making your Dividend payments?
A: I never observe this whenever there is a need I transfer money to my bank account. I have
commitments to my family in India and UK

Q25: The Santander bank statement provided shows money being credited to your account and shortly transactions debited from your account totalling the amount that was originally paid in. Can you explain why you this is?
A: I have commitments to my family in India and I have some debit in India I need to clear I send them money

Q26: Your account shows on 2015 you received a payment of £2000 from WU -can you tell me who this is and what the payment was for?
A: It is Western Union, My relative in India my cousin, He borrowed a money from me and he returned back the money to me he returned it via Western Union

Your responses at interview and the information provided in the bank statements further adds to our existing doubts about whether the monies shown on your bank statements has been earned through genuine employment.

iv. verification of your previous earnings claims with de.clarations made to other Government Departments, including declarations made in respect of earnings claimed by you in previous applications;


You submitted a Tier 1 (General) application on 2011 and claimed total earnings of
.£38,303.56 of which £17,080.32 was salaried employment and £21,230 was self employed earnings.You submitted a Tier 1 (General) extension application on : 2013 .and claimed total earnings of £37,013.85 of which £18,833.63 was salaried and £18,182.23 was from dividends from self employment.

The Secretary of State has conducted further enq nes with HM Revenue and Customs to establish self-employed earnings and dividend payments which had been declared to HM Revenue and Customs. HM Revenue and Customs records show the following information:


Tax Year
Total earnings Self Employed:
Net Profit/Dividends
2009/10 {12,330
2010/11 {38,234 {19884 Net Profit
2011/12 [20,102 [1550 Net Profit
2012/13 [41,689 [16364 Dividends
2013/14 [19,094 [900 Dividends

We have considered the evidence you have provided and yo':1r responses at interview with the above HMRC information,. Whilst we are satisfied that there are no discrepancies of amounts

claimed on previous applications and the amounts declared to HMRC, we do have concerns regarding fluctuating earnings in the above tax years.

HRMC records show a significantly lower amouht of earnings during the years in between applications. During the interview you were asked to provide an explanation why earnings were
' greater during the periods claimed for previous applications and you replied 'IT business fluctuates, there was no work during that period I never observed ,that it was different'.

Your reasons for the differences in earnings are noted. However due to our existing concerns regarding earnings claimed in your current application, it does not seem credible that the fluctuations in IT business which you state caused your self employed earnings to be higher in the tax years above coincided with the periods claimed in your previous applications.

For the•reasons outlined above, the Secretary of State on balance of probabilities is not satisfied that the self employed earnings you have claimed in your Tier 1 (General) application are• genume.
Paragraph 7 to 34 of Appendix A of the Immigration Rules Previous Earnings
You have claimed 20 points for previous earnings. However, as explained above we are not
satisfied the your self employed earnings are genuine. As your salaried earnings only total
£16,212.27 no points have been awarded for Previous Earnings. UK Experience
As O points have been awarded for Previous Earnings, we have therefore been unable to award points for UK Experience.
Age
20 have been awarded as claimed in your application. Qualifications
35 points have been awarded as claimed in your application.
Therefore, you have been awarded in total 55 points under Paragraph 7 to 34 of Appendix A of the Immigration Rules.
Therefore you do not satisfy the requirements of the Immigration Rules and it has been decided to refuse your application for Leave to Remain as a Tier 1 (General) migrant under paragraph 245CD of the Immigration Rules as you do not meet the requirements at paragraph 245CD(g) under paragraph 19(i) & 19(j) on Appendix A.
Right to verify
Please note, on this occasion we have not carried out full verification checks to ensure the authenticity of the documents you submitted or the statements that you have made on your application form, as your application falls for refusal on other grounds as outlined above.
However, the Home Office reserves the right in future to request independent third pa.rty verification to check the authenticity of any piece of supporting documentation that you provided with this application, or will provide in any future application or any statements that you have made or will make in connection with this cir any future application.

The Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) you submitted with your application has been retained and destroyed as it is no longer valid.

I strongly suggest you read the forum T&Cs and re-read what I have posted above. The same rule applies to members who persistently post their contact details. Any more such postings and your membership will be terminated. Everyone is a stranger to you on this forum, possibly a scammer/spammer.

If you read this long post stating reasons (click), you will understand the issue is about doubts of genuine income and NOT tax discrepancies.

Hi MAX444,

Sorry to hear about your refusal but i think i can suggest a few things to you as i have been in the same situation when i applied for my tier 1 visa extension.

my visa was rejected on the basis of paragraph 245 and the self employed income was deemed as non genuine.

I took the following steps and won it in court.
1. Got a statement from the MD ( your self employed client) regarding my work and he explained everything ref the hours worked and invoices getting paid.
2. Got a statement from the MD ( your salaried employer) regarding my work, character and he explained my working hours.
2a, Got the interview transcript and highlighted all the points where i said my income was genuine and how many hours i had worked, also you can say that although you're not entitled to public funds even then you are running both the houses efficiently.
3. Hired a good lawyer who presented my case, its rejected on balance of probabilities so if you have enough evidence in court it could go in your favor.

Don't lose hope mate I'm sure if you plan things properly it would go in your favor.

regards,
Sal
