Hello everyone,
My partner (South African) and I (Chinese), we applied for Tier 1 team entrepreneur in August 2015. We submitted our application in our home countries. I got a refusal after I was interviewed. Admittedly, I did not perform well, as I was nervous and I couldn't explain myself clearly. However, my partner was granted a visa without an interview. (Here I need to mention that 200k has been in my solo bank account, I gave my partner a declaration saying my funds is available for our proposed business).
-my refusal reasons are lack of working experience, and unmatched master degree, and lack of some marketing research.
Anyway, I applied a second fresh application as a team member in October, I submitted more documents to prove this proposed business is genuine. However, I got a second refusal without an interview.This time, the refusal reasons are simply copy and paste from the first refusal letter, and the derision maker also added that my further marketing research and amended business plan did not clear the previous concerns.
I'm going to do an admin review. I was not happy that they simply copy and paste my first refusal reasons and didn't invite me to in interview to erase their concerns.
Although I hired a solicitor to help me with AR, I still feel hopeless about this AR.
My partner is not just a business partner to me, and we are also long distance civil partners and going to get married. We have been suffering so much because of this distance. If the AR is not successful, I want to apply for Tier 1 dependent. But does that look suspicious?
Can anyone give me some advice? Does any get refused on Tier 1 route but succeed on Tier 1 dependent?
Thanks in advance.
