Hi My points of refusal were: 1) letter from bank does not state regulated 2) not enough evidence to show trading ..... The issue here was contracts do not have enough information about services bejng offered 3) no separate legal rep letter submitted with 3rd party declaration I can show that 1 and ...

I think it's probably a good thing that the HO didn't show up. Thanks for the advice - will sure try to be confident. Hope my HO doesn't show up too

All the best with ur decision...hope it is positive n hope it comes quick

No unfortunately I don't have leave except by extension of appeal.

Well I didn't submit a legal representative letter with my third party declaration. Stupid of me !!

I'm thinking of doing a reconsideration request but concerned that it will b refused again n I hv to appeal all over again (maybe with more grounds)

How did this second appeal go?

Anyone tried this?? Any luck? Advice appreciated?

Hi guys, I need to lodge an appeal in 2 days and I'm concerned it will fail(so considering a new application) I have been able to prove why 2 reasons for refusal are invalid but on the last reason - I didn't submit a separate legal rep letter - and this is an issue! Because new evidence will not be ...

Omg! I am about to file an appeal - thinking twice now! Seriously! Jan2014!

I'm so sorry - that is awful! You should get legal advice on this one.

I got the same weird envelope - was not expecting it to be ukba! Surprise surprise it was also a refusal!!! And they retained my documents!
So at least it wasn't just me:)

Thanks guys! Really helpful information!

So if I missed sending the third party declaration - will a NEW third party letter and legal rep be accepted ????

It expired on 8th June, but I thought that it was extended under em section 3c-because my refusal does say I can make a new application !!!

I just spoke to home office enquiries and they said I have to leave the country to make a new application - so confused - coz my solicitors have said I don't have to.

By a commissioner of oaths

Thanks guys appreciate ur comments. Guess I just have to decide!!! I'm actually considering just making a new application n just rectifying what was wrong - i mean they can't bring up something else they didn't in the first application.

Also trying to figure this out!!! There should b more guidance on this.

My Investor Declaration was invalid because of no Legal Rep letter (although it was stamped&signed- this was not enough) and it was from my father. Investor bank letter confirming funds was also rejected because of no regulation mentioned (however, does have a regulator number in the footer of t...

Thanks a lot

I was refused on the following 1. Bank letter (my dads) doesn't state regulator. However, the banks authority and regulator number is in the footer of the letter - I don't know why it wasn't considered! 2. No separate legal rep letter - my dad verified using a commission of oaths stamp and signature...

Thanks

I am sorry I cant help - coz I have the same question! Paper appeal or oral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It does seem like 99.9% of people feel that oral is better! I think that you can use documents to substantiate your first two reasons for refusal - but the last one is more complicated and maybe you w...

Hi

I am also trying to decide between a paper and an oral appeal!

what happens if a paper appeal is rejected? Is there still a chance to do an oral appeal?

Thanks

I have been refused an Entrepreneur visa and have heard of people using DOCUMENT FLEXIBILITY in their appeals - what on earth is that?

ANY response is so appreciated.

Thanks
