Tier 1 Interview

Post by pirabusiva » Wed Jul 03, 2013 9:12 pm

Hi! Me and my friend applied tier 1 visa on february. We got refusal and i did not have right to appeal but my friend got appeal and got hearing on August.
Our refusal reasons are :
We show 50k from financial institution Sri Lanka. They mentioned my name and my partner's name each personal letter. Then we prepared affidavit with stamp between us to access the fund. But case worker mentioned financial institution should mention both our name.

Then I applied fresh application on april, with all summary of accountant report, CH docs,invoices everything. Now they called for interview. Please share some ideas for me. Thanks.

Thanks for your replies. Now I have applied lonely. I mean i have re appointed as director(Web Consultant) role in existing company. I made a re application on April.before that me and my previous partner ran business accountant. We got some deals from our client. That's why we ran our account and made a accountant report and some invoices. But still not move money from financial institution. I can move any time until 2014. But after get a visa, i plan to move. Still funds are active. But i showed 25k from financial and another 25k from my personal bank. So totally i showed 50k myself. Then after applied, i got two contracts from my clients. So when i go to interview shall i bring new contracts?because my old contract has been terminated on may. So I am confused now. I already submit business plan as well. Please let me know that what they asked about BP. Thanks again.
