Yes ,you have a good case as far as I see. You said you have a solicitor helping you out. Many refusals like yours were overturned in AR.
Advice is given based on my personal research and experience only. Do NOT contact me via private message for immigration advice

It's a bad sign when they refund the IHS. Wait for the refusal to see on what grounds. Sorry for you man.

They still dispute the credibility of your business.

The way they see it, is that you never had access to the £200'000.

Do you have any document that prove that at one point in the UK you had access to these funds?

well the thing is that i have provided them my personal bank account statement from where the funds were transferred 200K from my personal account to Business in parts not in full as the funds were held in Pakistan so i have transferred the funds in parts from Pakistan to the UK

there is no requriment in the policy guidance which states to transfer the funds in one shot

in my initial application i have been given points which states i will dispose these funds in the UK and they will be transferred to the Uk which i have done and invested in the Business

Investment Summary and Director Loan was given with my application but they overlooked these two docs

You don't have to transfer 200K in one single shot.

But if you take all the transfers made from Pakistan to UK and make an addition, does it reach 200K?

It's a mathematical point. It should be matter of dispute.

You need to demonstrate that:

1 - You have transferred 200K to your business from Pakistan. For that, you go to your bank in the UK and print statements showing the money coming in. Put that in an Excel sheet and sum the column. If it reaches 200K, you can demonstrate that you had the money.

2 - You then need to show that the 200K were spent in the business (not to pay yourself, of pay your personal bills).

These points can demonstrated with hard evidence that doesn't leave any room for discussion or interpretation.

yes the total amount which was transferred from my personal Account to Business account was more then 200K
which can be checked by the Funds transferred from overseas

these funds were spent in the business in buying stock doing advertisement Paying Rents salaries

For Stock i have shown CO invoices of purchase more then $50K which is equal to £35K


and rest amount i have purchase IT equipment as well


this was never spent for my own expense

I saw this table posted earlier on. I am not referring to this one. Can you demonstrate the transfer of 200K to the UK by using bank statements from a UK bank? That's critical I think. Because the Home Office claims in the initial refusal and AR that you never had 200K. Are they correct in that statement or not? If you can disprove it by using hard evidence such as bank statements showing money coming in from Pakistan, that's excellent. If not, you fail to meet an eligibility criteria and that would be the end of it.

I hope some other will give you advice too.

allow me to jump in although i am fairly new, but given the 200k avaiablity is a major factor for deciding on extention I had to ask a lot about this.

in summary you need to have 200k sitting in your business account no later than 6months from the time you first landed in UK on your first visa. it does not have to be one shoot, but by end of 6months you must have a total of 200k under your disposal.
