Bad and disappointment after receiving Refusal.Even i had given good Interview.Its now normal routine of home office to refuse the visa even you are genuine . Any way i put Administrative review with grounds. Because ECO overlooked many things and simply 7 words refusal.

Sure, They did my interview from Sheffield and 30 questioned and all my answers were perfect about business , turnover,No of employee, so many technical question , i replied them because i have background of accounts in study.
Refusal was about the recruitment and in seven words which was totally disappointment for me.I attached all documents about this and also clearly declaration of 30% share in company . But what can i do just nothing to say , now just wait of AR which was submitted last week with mentioned the ECO error and grounds , But you have to prepare best because Home office is always try to refuse .

Admin is right.But he should also the feel the feelings of the person who are trying to fulfil. Apparently Sole Representative by Law is simple but the evaluation of all process is at very high scale of scrutinising by ECO.Now the home office are so technical and you should contact to a good solicitor i means not to agent.

I have got my sole rep visa granted without any agent. Please be advised that you don’t need any business plan attached. According to immigration rules, you need to provide a company description. I prepared a PowerPoint file of a handful pages telling home office about what our business do and what we sell. Keep it simple. The office have only a few days to review your case.

Congratulations!

I am planning to apply for this visa too. Would you please give me a hand?

According to govt website, you need to give details regarding where you are staying in the UK. May I ask what is it about? Do I need to rent a place first or just specify in which city I am going to stay and start the subsidiary? Did you provide any relating material for this?

Thanks for any possible help. Wish you all the best.

A basic question that bothers me......

In terms of "a full description of the parent company", do we really need to provide "balance sheet" and "income statement" to support our application? What is your opinion?

Hi, I am preparing to apply for the Sole Rep Visa and have a few questions.

I am a Canadian citizen but have been living and working in Germany for the same company for almost 5 years. They are now looking to establish more of a presence in the UK, therefore, we would like to apply for this visa and set up a branch in the UK.

I don't have any dependants, I am financially secure, I don't require the TB test or proof of English, so my understanding is that I will need to provide the following:

-my biometrics
-my passport
-a letter stating - a full description of the parent company’s activities, including details of assets and accounts
- a letter confirming the overseas company will establish a wholly-owned subsidiary or register a branch in the UK
- my job description, employment contract and salary details
- a letter confirming that I am familiar with the company and have the power to take operational decisions
- a letter confirming that I as hired and recruited outside of the UK and will only be working for the company once in the UK
- a letter stating that I am not a majority stakeholder

Can someone let me know if I am mising something and also which of the above needs to be notarized?

Thank you so much!
Charlotte
