Travel for Business during Administrative Review

Post by mbjpai » Thu Jun 13, 2013 6:40 pm

My application for a Tier 2 - ICT Long Term visa was refused on the grounds that I did not submit enough documentation to prove that I have been working with my current employer for over a year. Since the caseworker should have contacted me and sought for additional documentation, rather than refusing my application, I have filed for an administrative review on 3rd June and I am still waiting for a response. In the mean time, I am required to travel to the UK to attend an important business meeting. Can I travel to the UK when my Administrative Review is under consideration on an existing Multiple entry Business Visa? If yes, will I have a hard time going through immigration after arriving in the UK?

Cheers!!

Wanted to share my expericne, just in case someone is in a similar situation.
I traveled during my administrative review period on a valid business visa. As I had to visit Europe prior to getting into UK, my point of entry was at the Brussels Eurostar Train station. As expected the ECO questioned me about the reason for my visa rejection and my purpose of visit. Another office took down a reference number from the system and did some more check within the office. I had presented my return ticket for review. I was asked to wait for a few minutes and after that I was all-set to proceed with my travel. Fortunately, this did not turn out to be as eventful as I had feared it would be!!!
