TIER-1 ENTREPRENEUR VISA REFUSED DUE TO DECEPTION

[vinay.k]

Hi,

I applied for a Tier-1 Entrepreneur Visa and it was refused as Deception. I got all the required points for the application but I forgot to disclose my driving conviction a year ago as I though we doesnt need to disclose driving convictions. I was fined and banned for 6 months for driving on Provisional license without insurance. I paid the fine and spent the 6 months ban a year ago. Now my application was refused under deception with an appeal offer. Could someone plzzz...suggest me what to do now and what chances I have to cover myself as its was a human error. More over on the application it was not mentioned as including driving offences so I havent disclosed it.

GURUS...Please suggest me under what points I can apply for appeal...

Thanks,
Vinay

Vinay, sorry to hear that. DECEPTION is a strong word to appeal. But, I believe a reputed and experienced immigration lawyer would be your best bet in this case.

Hello Vinay,

I would say bad luck because people usually do not put in their application about points BUT in your case when you say banned for 6 months then i think you supposed to mention in your application form. Now get a good solicitor.

BEST OF LUCK

as far I know driving offenses are not needed to be disclosed unless custodial sentences.

you should read the refusal carefully if they actually talked about your driving offence, to the best of my knowledge it has never happened in the past where somebody got done for driving offence as yours.

Hi Vinay,

Unless it was for another more serious offence other than driving conviction and ban, i do not think there is any rule against declaring conviction. so what you need to do is to get a lawyer to fight the case with you.

You have a good chance of winning as most of this caseworkers do not know much but operate our cases without use of initiative or getting clarification from their line managers before refusing applications.

Goodluck

i believe u were banned by a court.

So it's a serious offence. u should mentioned it.

Only penalty points not need to be disclosed but if given by court than u must tell them.
