Tier 2 ICT Refused - Banned for 10 years - Urgent help

[dheen]

Manci, Vinny

Do let me know if anything else is been required.
I've pasted the decision made by the UKBA below and please guide me if anything could be done.
I am therefore satisfied that the ECOs decision is correct. Whilst you state that it was an ‘innocent mistake’, I do not accept this explanation. I note that you were in the UK as a work permit holder and after conducting research decided to apply to switch to Tier 1 as you felt this would give you greater flexibility and you were aware that the category was coming to an end for new applicants. I am therefore not satisfied that you were unaware that you were refused leave to remain. You were at least aware that you had an application refused and it is not clear why you did not detail this somewhere on your application form, for example under Q57 – refusal of visa for UK, or Q63 – application for leave to remain in the UK or Q74 - any further information you wish to be considered.

As a result I uphold the decision to refuse your application under paragraph 320(7a).
