I recently know a case where applicant is called for interview and in the interview invitation letter it is clearly written not to bring any documents on the interview day. They have also mentioned that if you wish you can send documents to Sheffield address before interview. Is anything similar wri...

There is not such rule but it is advisable to do a business which relates to your background and education.

If you carefully see in the interview invitation letter it is written that you should not bring any documents with you on the interview day!!!

A bit harsh refusal. Go for appeal and you will win it. You have a strong case.

good job.. interview looks difficult but you managed to give good answers as you got the visa.

I notice that in the past applicants who were called for interview by Home Office, take fresh documents with them to strengthen their cases. Documents like updated bank statements, business plans, invoices, contracts, accountant references, business activity etc. Recently Home Office have changed th...

Can you prove that rules were different at the time of you securing visa. That will be great if you can share the evidence. Then we can take it on from there.

To my mind rule was always that you need to invest within the UK the claimed investment.

If that is the only reason your application is refused for then you can claim to have covered under evidential flexibility policy.

You can also say that there were two copies of contract on your table before you apply. You forgot to send one signed.

Provide a signed copy of contract in appeal.

I think you guys need to check with HMRC that what part of the house can be used as office/work. I think rules only allow 20-33% (i dont know the exact number) of the house to be used for business purpose. As per your local council guideline, the main use of property should be home not office/work. ...

Rehan, thanks for sharing your views.

Hi Rahul, Thanks a lot for your feedback and comments which I read with some interest. What I do not agree with you is that I dont think it is cleary written in guidance that lawyer should also confirm the signatures of the applicant. That is my intepretation of guidance. I also know where your argu...

Thanks a lot for your comments. I completely and fully agree with your points and views. Specially the point number 6 which you highlighted in bold. That in UKBA policy guidance it is not clearly stated. And there is a kind of discrepancy and fair amount of ambiguity in it. Policy guidance needs to ...

Dear forum members I will appreciate, if you can give your valuable feedback on below refusal of an entrepreneur case based on third party funding from abroad. ---------------------------------------------------- Background: --------------------------------------------------- 1.

Ungrateful people...

Do not expect others to do all the donkey work for you!

Just google pbs dependent application form and fee is written in there.

You need to do following: 1. Fill in application form 2. Attach passport and bio card of main application. I am quite sure even photocopies will also work out. If applying by post then definately photocopies will work as UKBA themselves issued your visa and they can check their records. They why wou...

Yours is quite unique situation and I am not sure if any forum member has gone thru similar situation. It is also not written in the policy guidance what should be done in situation as yours. So you did what you think was right and what looks right. Since you originally applied as a part of team and...

I got your point. And difficult situation you are in.

May I ask, if your application should be decided on your own (or as a single applicant) then why did you apply as a part of team second time?

Where was the money? your account, his account, joint account or third party?

Where is your child?

So it clearly means your application is dependent on the appeal result of other team member. As UKBA has themselves confirmed this by calling.

So what is the confusion now?

By the way, why did you not reapply your child with you?

Did you apply second time as a part of team with same team member? Or did you apply separately?

This sounds ridiculous @no conversion in bank letter. It is job of the caseworker to check from onada for conversion. Clearly he/she does not know about this and not competent enough. Supply a revised contract containing buisness services supplied to the client. Also get a letter of reference from y...

what is written in the letter?

Give an evidence in appeal that bank refused to issue such letter. This could be a letter from the bank confirming that they can not issue such letter

my friend applied visa 9 months before. 200k was in account but after amount was drawn from bank. ukba did raid at his house to arrest him. Luckily he was not at home that time. can ukba put 320 on the basis of less amount in account? thanks Unbelievable because ukba can refuse or raise subsequentl...
