Thank you for your response. I was hoping that would be the response I would get but it seems a bit too easy. I have the all the Passports, The Life in the UK Test, The Degree, Form and photos. I have never sent such a few list of documents to the home office. And when I call different solicitors fo...

I'm sure it was mistakenly spilt not poured intentionally but the fact is that, I cannot travel on my passport anymore. I'm really dissapointed!

Hi guys i have finally received my visa after 1 year and 4 months wait time! Only to find that there are now tea stains on my passport. i did not even realise until i sent it to the French ~Embassy for a shengen visa. now they are not allowed to stamp my passport because they said I need to get a ne...

Definitely go for tier 2 in that case if you have a sponsor. If you do choose to appeal, the appeal will only consider the documents supplied at the time of the application and so your partner dropping out may not be an issue. Will your partner be willing to at least appeal with you before he leaves...

Oh sorry,

I thought it was the same thing. I won at Tribunal Hearing. I won the case on 5th March and have not received any appeal or objections from HO. I am guessing there is nothing to object to for them. I just want to go home. Im so tired

I think they just want you to rate their customer service. Since it is anonymous, I hope you will give them the worst review ever so that they change their incompetent ways

I won my appeal on 5th March 2014. My application was logged on 31 December 2012. I have been waiting for my passport to be returned to me so that I can finally go home for 4 days since I have not been back home for 7 years. Am i within my rights to contact UKBA to demand my passport? I am so tired ...

Be positive. your visa will not be refused. changing categories while the visa is under consideration is in my opinion just a sign that you do not qualify for any of the routes but just trying your luck

I dont understand what you mean by you can no longer raise 50k. What happened to the 50k you raised for your initial application. You can show the home office that you have used half of it on the business. I think it will make your case even stronger

Think positive, If it is a parcel, it will definitely be your passport and supporting documents. Well done and all the best with your business

I would say best Visa option would be spousal visa. If not, then entrepreneur if you have a business idea and access to funds or tier two if you have a sponsor as cpmlkhan said.

Failing that, I believe its a flight home

Don't worry, that is not a strange letter. It is probably because you have submitted bank details for an overseas account and will take time to investigate. Most new applications are being responded to really quickly so it should not be too long. Hang in there

The refusal was that I did not show any evidence that my business had a UK premises. I argued back that I submitted the company summary to the Home Office and a letter from companies house with my registered address still there. Also they argued that I had showed no evidence for access to the funds....

Hi to apply for a post study work visa with the post study route, you should hold a role that is Level 4 or above in the SOC guidance in your company. A photographer or videographer(SOC number 3417) is only level 3 as per the guidelines . So using this role will not be valid for this visa. However y...

Hey Guys, So today I had my hearing (5th March). I almost missed the hearing date because for some reason, I had it in my mind that it was meant to be 10th March. Thank God during the preparation I got the right date and prepared accordingly. My initial thoughts was to go an represent myself as my c...

No the application was not a team application it was just my personal application and the money was held in the UK in my personal savings account. My business is manufacturing. I manufacture organic beauty products for the eyes. It is a really niche business. My degree was in Finance but I got into ...

Hi

From my understanding third party funding can only be from overseas. If the funds are in the UK then it must be in the applicants own name.

I think it is better to apply from Pakistan as it will take a shorter time for the decision to be reached

Hi guys I have personally went for my appeal when my initial Tier1 application was refused on a silly reaon. I would strongly recommend FARANI TAYLORS. They are pretty strong. I won my case within a month time. Regards Sameer Sheikh @ SameerSheikh, how much did they charge you for the overall appea...

So, I have my appeal on 10th March and the refusal letter claims I did not provide evidence to prove that I had the required funds. I bank with HSBC and wanted them to write a letter with the HO format and also stating that the letter has already been provided before and that the money is still in m...

Thanks guys very helpful suggestions. I am looking for a barrister now so please advice if you know anyone. I need a fighter on my side. I cant wait to take UKBA on. I had to hold on to the funds or a year and 3 months so I am definitely not happy!

HI Sanjay, you have 3 years to invest the 50, 000. It is your money so you choose how you would want to invest it. You however need to make sure that the money is spent solely on your business. You cannot buy a house and cliam it as an investment

Hi Guys Hope you are all doing well. I am super happy to finally be joining the forum I applied for my visa on the 29th of December 2012. It was refused in July 2013 and I was given the hearing date for March 2014. The reason for refusal were as follows: That I did not provide evidence that the busi...
