1) why bank account was minimal used nd y deal cash handing most ?
2) difference in statement in both directors which was very minor like one said social media other said internet for marketing one did not mention to say that we used kiosks in different shoping malls for marketing rest was matching
3) why in 2012 our share capital was £1 nd but it rise £50000. In 2015/16

So sorry for the refusal mate. Did you say you were paying your staff cash by hand for their wages. Did you file the FPS normally and have records of all payments including NI and taxes. If not employee payment records could be a major reason why you were refused. Can you post the exact wordings of your refusal.

why not apply fresh application instead of JR and then you have chance t interview again

i am at the same boat with you. I was refused due to interview as well because they didnt record the exactly information which I told to him.

i am preparing the fresh application now.

hopefully, you can win in the JR.

Why not fresh application and straight to JR ?? Who is advising you on this ?

[teddybear79]

Zimba fresh application? The application is not refused based on documents only a JR can sort the issues, as they will do the interview again and same questions.

So sorry to hear that again. HO is really going far away from immigration rules and abuse "genuine test". Wish you will win your JR and remember to claim a large amount compensation from them. Keep us updated, please.

[annoyedatukba]

Why not fresh application ? What made you go for JR? You could've gone for JR as a last resort or when you've exhausted all your other options.

Unfortunately the 10 year rule will not apply with your current circumstances, as you are now considered an overstayer. When you win your JR then the time you stayed will be included. JR is quite a long process and takes a lot of time.

I wish you luck and keep us updated.

I tend to agree with teddy bear. No point of new application as there will be no change of circumstances in his business bank activity or share capital. Genuine entrepreneur test is becoming a deciding factor recently. Zee80 you need to find a good solicitor mate and challenge this thing in court. Home office is not going to change their point of view of the business with a new application. Lesson to learn from this kind of situation is to provide as much evidence in the genuine business test section of your application , it can be emails, advertising or any other correspondence of business activity so that at least you have some matter with you if you end up in court.

[zimba]

Why there is no point ? The fresh application can include all the evidence showing the previous decision was made based on incorrect assumptions and then HO will not be able to refuse that new one based on the same excuses. At least the evidence you include with a fresh application will have to be considered and in case of JR it can be relied on. JR is no magic bullet and chances of success are quite limited

@zee80 very sorry to hear about that.

Could you please tell us if it was same day interview for both partners or separate.

I am in same situation.

They have interviewed me but they will interview my partner end of this month.

Thanks
