Now the reasons why my application was rejected:Visa applied for - Tier 1 entrepreneur extension (50K)
Visa expiry date - 08 April 2015
Applied on - 16 March 2015
Application rejected on - 09 May 2015
Applied for AR - 20 May 2015
Decision date for AR - 16 May 2015
Decision letter received on - 17 MAy 2015
Reason 1
Applicant is engaged in business activity at the time of application
Points awarded 0
You have stated that you are currently the Director of a UK company. You have provided a Companies House Current Appointments Report for xxxx ltd dated 05 November 2012.
From this evidence, however we are not satisfied that on a date falling within three months prior to the date of your application, you were registered with Companies House as a director of a new or an existing business.
Reason 2
Creation of jobs in the UK
points awarded 0
You have claimed points on the basis that you have created the equivalent of two new full-time paid jobs for people settled in the UK and that these jobs have each existed for at least 12 months.
As evidence of this, you have supplied: Identity documents, accountants letter, wage slips, p11, p45 and p60 documents, companies house filing history and RTI submission logs.
Paragraph 46-SD(h) of Appendix A of the immigration rules lists the specificed that is required to demonstrate the creation of jobs.
The evidence that you have submitted above is not acceptable because the submission logs supplied do not meet the requirement at 46-SD (h) (i) because we require RTI submissions for each employee for each month of employment showing PAYE.
We have therefore been unable to award points for Attirbutes in accordance with Appendix A.
Now what happened actually was I sent them CAR from 2012 as well as 2015 but they completely overlooked the 2015 one. So they were wrong there for sure.
About FPS, I was under the impression that FPS receipts was everything they needed. So I only sent them FPS receipts and not the actual FPS report. So I was wrong there but I sent them other documents such as P11, P32, P45, P60, wage slips which covered the same information that FPS covered.
When I received my visa rejection letter, everyone said it's my fault and that I should have hired a solicitor and shouldn't have applied on my own. I went to see 7 to 8 different solicitors after that so that I can proceed with my AR and/or a fresh application. I hired a solicitor in Bedford and decided to go for AR first. However, when he wrote my arguments for AR, I wasn't satisfied, so I told him he can keep the fees I've paid him, I don't want a refund and told him that I will be going for AR on my own. Even he thought I was crazy. But yes, I wrote my own arguments for my AR and the HO overturned the decision.
The reason why I shared my story is most people including myself until I received my letter this morning believe that HO hardly overturns their decision at the AR stage. I am going to share with you guys why I wrote in my AR in the next post.
Thanks so much to all the members here who helped me on this forum, especially Zimba88, Khan Friends and Humv!
