Application Sent : 11/02/16
Application rec : 12/02/16
Fee Deducted : 15/02/16
Biometrics Given : 29/02/16
Visa received : 07/03/16
i used solicitor to represent my case and i would recommend to always use solicitor and represent with good covering letter even if the case is straight forward as it does make difference in the end and case worker thinks twice to refuse the application on minor issues if application is coming from good solicitor .. i have seen members who applied on their own are either refused for very minor issue or still waiting for the outcome of their application for than 3 . 4 months
Congrats on your visa extension. I disagree that you need a solicitor representation for a successful application. HO grants visa strictly based on Immigration Rules not whether you are represented by a solicitor or not. In fact HO does not really care. Many Visa applications are straightforward and HO does not have time or resources to investigate every visa applicant. If your case is straightforward, sent all the required documents and your personal/immigration history is clean, you have a good chance of being granted visa quickly.waqas734 wrote:i used solicitor to represent my case and i would recommend to always use solicitor and represent with good covering letter even if the case is straight forward as it does make difference in the end and case worker thinks twice to refuse the application on minor issues if application is coming from good solicitor .. i have seen members who applied on their own are either refused for very minor issue or still waiting for the outcome of their application for than 3 . 4 months
My only source of disagreement was the unfounded claim that being represented by a solicitor somehow influences the HO decision making process. There is no evidence for this claim, as any Visa refusals/grants are strictly based on immigration rules. Many members on this forum had solicitor representation and failed to extend because they conveniently left everything to their solicitors. In several cases observed here, the solicitor failed to do basic checks for the existence of mandatory documents required by Immigration Rules. In few cases they even gave wrong advice to their client, even contradicting the Immigration Rules.legendfar wrote:Hi Zimba
I was going to comments that i am confused whether i should hire solicitor or not after his successful application because he is saying its better to go with Solicitor while we can do everything but he was sharing his good experience
i think we dont really need a solicitor , good and professional experience accountant is a good option instead isnt ?

Please remember that it is entirely your responsibility to ensure your application has all the documentary evidence and information, required by HO. Simply relying on a solicitor for your extension is not enough. My suggestion is that you better be involved in the process and make sure you understand it quite well. At the end of the day, it is up to you to hire a solicitor for extra help and reassurance but there is absolutely NO influence they can exert on HO visa decision making process

Partial refund was issued same day as my visa processed on , which was 7/02/16 . I don't think they issue partial refund week or two before , it normally comes back into your account on the day the decision was taken or day or two before but again some people might have different experience , me and my another friend with his individual application experienced same pattern we applied almost same time and received our visa's with just a day difference but his application was initial one and mine was extensionJohnOhn wrote:When did you receive your partial refund for your Immigration Health Surcharge?waqas734 wrote:

So you actually saw the partial refund in your bank account before you actually received notification that your extension was approved? (I'm assuming that even though your extension was approved on the 7th, you didn't find out about it until you got the letter a few days later)waqas734 wrote:Partial refund was issued same day as my visa processed on , which was 7/02/16 .

I have successfully extended my tier 1 entrepreneur visa , received my BRP in less than 10 days after my biometrics , Ho doesn't seems to harsh as we hear now a days on applicants at least in my case if one fulfils all the requirement and submit the require documents according to the guidance than the process is very smooth and quick . I wish best of luck to all the applicants whom application is under process or submitting their application soon

Did your loan agreement state that you would transfer the money in instalments? If yes, did you specify when, i.e. the first of every month for twenty months, etc?
no we only submitted current employers liability insurance which was taken 2 months prior to our extensionirana2015 wrote:Hello waqAs,
