March Interview 2014

[zeeshan81]

Hi andy_jatt
Did you get the visa or still waitlisted?

[INDIANBABE1]

Hello Guys,

Kinda stressed here and in a panic mode. I do not understand why I have not had any response from the HO despite them stating that a decision will be made by the 31 March.

Application Date: Sometime in Nov 2013
Telephone Interview: 15 Feb 2014
Face to Face interview: 8th March 2014

Mine is an Entrepreneur Team as well. By the way, I have tried all the numbers including the 0300 numbers but the calls drop at the end. Someone advised to try calling the numbers with a Lyca line but when I did, it did the same too. Does anyone know how can we get in touch with the HO to actually find out what is happening?

Is anyone in my situation as well??? What should we do? Its getting very annoying to be sitting at home waiting for the post all morning and not receiving any information.

Please help. Thanks

Hi Dear I also got a Same Scripted refusal
APPLIED ON : 28 DEC 2013
INTERVIEW : 10 MARCH 2014
REFUSAL : 15 APR 2014 with RIGHT of APPEAL

REASONS :
DONT ACCESS to FUNDS
I got 54 K in personal account for last 5 months Now HO concern is from where i got this money in my account in interview i said its my father transfered to me for my joint account with my father in paksitan now they refused because the reference was CHAPS they take it as a third party secondly my brother got established UK LTD Company in UK for LAST 4 ys.my father transfered half the amount to my bro account because state bank of pak dont allow more than £6000 transfer to overseas in one account per person/month . So HO presumed that My Bro Company is also a 3rd party. Now My concern is I have money in my account for last couple of months how can i have no access moreover i have all the transfer evidence from PAK to UK and plus point is it was my and my father joint account how HO will prove in court its not my funds.

Second Refusal same Scripted.
BP and market research copied my question is i used Howard referencing with all source of reference attached in BP and MR how they can blame its copied from same website which they refused the other applicants

Third Refusal LACK Of EXPERIENCE
I would like to mention I have a work experience of 6 years in IT industry. Moreover I have been to China twice worked in research and development Software development ( HONGKONG) for ************* CHINA well known china based company working in 110 countries in all over the world
Secondly I did my MASTERS in ************( GOT MERIT IN thesis and degree my dissertation was based on same secure solution) Plus I am a certified TELECOM ENGINEER and member of PAKISTAN ENGINEERING COUNCIL for last 7 years.
I did multiple projects with different operators in Pakistan / Afghanistan/ China and I have all the original certification and work experience letters attached in my document when I submitted the application.
Moreover I worked voluntarily for my Brothers Company in last 2 years.
Keeping in view the above mention points they said i cant do bussiness in UK

My Suggestion to all applicant HO is trying hold applicant money in uk and trying to check who is geneu Interpre I already discussed with my barrister he is saying u will get visa on appeal may this will be helpful.

Hi Kamal,
Can you share your timeline and business plan pls, thanks!

[shussain452]

Applied 19/02/14
Interview 24/03 /14
Refusal 25/03/14
Reasons
1) Source of funds do not satisfy (uk personal account) 26k family inheritance transfered through proper channels (mentioned them each transaction in interview) 24K own savings.
2) lack of experience as a businessman. (Educational back ground and previous experience matches the current business fiels) but in caseworker view I have no experience as a businessman my self.
3) market research not enough. According to them 72 companies in my area why I just mentioned name of few ( I have mentioned the name of four famous companies and etc)
4) business plane copied from bplane website ( not true).

Keep calm and carry on.

[kayess1984]
