UKBA

Post by roshanvsn » Mon Apr 22, 2013 3:30 pm

Hi guys,
today my solicitor received a call from UKBA to re-submit the Company appointment report, he submitted that on email and they replied immediately that they have received it. Does anybody has the same scenario, if yes how long does it take to get the result out?

For refusal reason like:
contact details are not fully given e.g. land line number, email etc

One can appeal on the basis of '2009 Evidential Flexibility policy'. Though it is related to solicitors/barristers but it could make us to understand how it works.

His funds were on third party, according to him he said his visa was refused as he didn't submit the uk bank letter. Third party funding is from the uk. I didn't see the refusal letter
He applied for cat d. Psw route

Hi Amelstar,

Did you not get new rules change letter from UK BA in March 2013 - Did any dependents apply along with you. Did you not get any query / interview call / request for any further documents? Are the funds in third party's bank account or in applicant's bank account ? did your bank get any verification call so far? Did you contact home office regarding status of your application ? did you send any letter to home office to speed up the application

Sorry for asking many questions but this would help all of us in some way.

Hi Christianoronaldo,

Sorry for asking many questions. But we are getting pissed off due to UK BA processing times. To know at least what is going on from applicant side , we need to discuss in details. We are not forcing any one to answer to all the questions. It is up to individual :).

Visa Refused

Post by Ahmed876 » Sat Apr 27, 2013 1:58 pm

Application Sent: 03 Sep 2012
Bio: 10 Sep 2012
Refusal letter recieved on 26 April 2013 (dated 22 April 2013)
Reason for Refusal: Trading contract.

At the time of the application, i submitted 3 Contracts.
Two of them were invalid, as one had ended and the other was withdrawn and the last one was active.
I had mentioned about it on each of the contract.
Case worker made her decision on the contract which was ended thus she gave no points for funds.

Is it possible that I write a letter and explain all this to the case worker before going for appeal? Will they reconsider their decision?

I had submitted additional contracts to show them that I have worked on two different occupations which were NVQ level 6.

Waiting for your advice.

Thanks

Ahmed.

Hi Ahmed,

Sorry to here this news. You can definitely send an email to case worker about the details so that they may reconsider the decision.

In between did you not receive any query / interview call / new rules change letter from UK BA? funds location details ( UK or abroad )? are the funds in third party account or your account ?

Hi La,

Thanks for your reply.

I didn't receive any query, just the new rules letter. Funds abroad in my own account.

I don't have any email address of the case worker, should I post them a letter addressing to the case worker with her name?

Yes Ahmed876- You can explain every thing in covering letter and attach your case reference number and name. All the best

- By the way did you maintain the 50k funds till your visa approval ? when did UK BA verified the 50k funds in bank ? How did UK BA contact the bank ( by email / by phone ) what are the questions UK BA has asked in funds verification ? Did you not send them letter to UK BA to speed up the application

Sorry for asking many questions. If you are happy to share the info it would help many of us else it is fine. No issues.

Thanks in advance.
