My paper got selected for a conference in Southampton, I don't understand how I can prove my intent to return. I even gave a No objection letter from my employers. Pls advise. This is what they wrote.
[*]
I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the
requirements of paragraph(s) 4.2 to 4.10 of Appendix V because:
You state that you wish to visit the United Kingdom for a period of 8 days for tourism and to
present a paper at the University of Southampton. In order to assess your application I have
to take into account your personal and economic circumstances. It is your responsibility to
satisfy me that your circumstances are such that if granted leave to enter, you will comply
with all of the conditions attached to any such leave and that you will leave the UK on
completion of the proposed visit.
On your application form you state that you are employed as an Assistant Professor and you
earn 49501.00 INR (£535.55) per month. In support of your application, you have
submitted a bank statement from State Bank of India, account number ending 9339, with
closing balance of INR 454502.37 (£4917.26) on 1/2/20. The statement does show that your
monthly income is as stated on your visa application form and I also note that your
statement shows you spend more than 12000 INR (£129.83) as stated on your application
form. The documents you have submitted do not demonstrate the income and your savings
are as stated. I am not satisfied that these funds are reflective of your income or financial
circumstances, neither am I satisfied that these funds are genuinely available to you for your
exclusive use.
You have submitted your tax returns for the assessment year 2018-20 and your income was
INR 759540 (£8217.46). Your ITR does not demonstrate you are in receipt of the income
indicated. This is because this return is self-completed and in effect a self-declaration of
income. I am therefore not satisfied your ITR demonstrates that your circumstances are as
you state.
I have considered the evidence and information submitted in your application; and on the
balance of probabilities I am not satisfied that you have accurately presented your
circumstances or intentions in wishing to enter the United Kingdom. This means that I am
not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor or that you intend to leave the
United Kingdom at the end of your proposed visit nor am I satisfied that the funds in your
account are genuinely available to you for your exclusive use nor that you have sufficient
funds to cover all reasonable costs in relation to your visit without working or accessing
public funds. This includes the cost of the return or onward journey. Your application for a
visit visa is refused under Paragraph V 4.2 (a), (c) & (e) of the Immigration Rules.
