Re: TIER 1 ENTREPRENEUR EXTENSION REFUSED

I understand that are a lot of mistakes. But most worrying is that HO interviewed after 9 months rather just refusing on the documents itself. Isnt this a waste of resources and proper poor service standard?

Guess you can apply for a fresh application rectifying all your mistakes. Goodluck!

Re: Online status checker

As many times discussed on this forum. This is a beta version which is NOT accurate.
I have seen people who got their visas still the status was “awaiting decision”.
In short, this means nothing.

Re: Start date missing on FPS

As far as I know, you still can apply for a fresh application within 2 weeks after AR refusal.

Majority cases AR decision comes within 1 month. Even if it does not I am pretty sure you still get 2 weeks to apply for a fresh application.


Senior members please correct if I am wrong.

Re: Start date missing on FPS

I sent the updated FPS information to HO yesterday (Monday 23rd Oct) and they have received it this morning (Tuesday 24th Oct). Unfortunately, the IHS fee of £400 was refunded to my bank account last Friday (20th Oct) which I guess means the decision has been made. However, the status of the applic...

Re: Start date missing on FPS

If you are refunded £400 did you apply with a dependent?
What makes you think you are refused?
Hope for the best till you hear from HO as IHS refund does not mean anything certain.

Re: effect of court case against company

As suggested it is a civil matter and has nothing to do with immigration. If you think you have a case you should contest it in court. If you have received a solicitor letter that is what is called a pre action protocol letter. But before this they have to mitigate the losses with you as in try to n...

Re: Dependent Visa requirements?

When your ex-husband applied as a dependent on your tier 1 visa obviously you showed marriage certificate at that time. Either: 1. Marriage certificate issued back home if you were married there. 2. UK civil marriage certificate if it happened in UK. In either case I think you would have to send in ...

Re: Extension Approved

Congratulations!
Good to see someone receiving the visa after HO visit. If I am correct you got interviewed on 21st Sep.

Thats great assuming they are taking 3/4 weeks to decide after the interview.

I was interviewed on 12th sep. nothing yet.

Fingers crossed.
