UK Border Agency Information Request

[Jedi_Sid]

Hi All,

l applied for a Tier 1 Visa Extension on the 23/03/2012.

Today I received a request for further evidence:

Thank you for your application, which is currently being considered. Please note that we have identified a minor omission with regards to the evidence that has been submitted.



· Tier 1 – all casetypes

o Previous Earnings (T1 General) –

§ Self employed evidence does not corroborate fully.



We are therefore asking you to submit:

· Accounts and accountants letter listing both your gross and net income from your self employed activities covering only 1 March 2011 to 31 May 2012. Both documents must confirm the same information. The accounts must be signed on the balance sheet by the director of the company (I’e you)

I would like to query the dates they require : 1 March 2011 to 31 May 2012,

I received the information on the 30th of May, am I really to believe they want accounts for a future date??? or is this a typo?

Thanks
S

Perhaps a typo or perhaps that date might have been specified with the expectation that the letter may reach you on/after 31-May-12.

Only UKBA can tell.

It makes it 15 months and you are only required to provide them documents for 12 months.

If you have satisfied the requirements for that 12 month period than that should be enough (in my opinion).

On the other hand they might be asking for upto date documents because they want to verify that you still have the company and it was not just created to get a visa, which is fair enough but this can be checked with company house anyway.

I suggest you speak/write to the case worked and clarify, involving a lawyer would be a good idea as well.

I questioned the dates 1 March 2011 to 31 May 2012

It was confirmed that it was a type error: it should read 1 March 2011 to 31 May 2011

I know in the application I have sent

A letter from my account calculating net.
A statement of income and expenditure from my accountant proving earnings. (signed)
Self Employed bank accounts from 07 Mar 2011 - 15 Jul 2011 (close of account)

What additional information is needed to fully corroborate?
