Application submitted - 11 March
Biometrics submitted - 22 March
Decision dated - 4 May (received 9 May)
They stated the following in my application:
1. The Home Office didn’t accept the monies transferred by my parents' account as 'readily identifiable' transfers from me to the business.
2. The management/ unaudited accounts provided did not show the director's loan in my own name.
On point 1, about 25% of the investment went directly from my parents' account to my business account rather than into my personal account and then business. In my original application 3 years ago it was clearly stated that the loan would be coming from my father and that all funds were available to me in the UK at any time (signed by the home bank). Hence my solicitor is saying we need to argue that the funds were in fact 'readily identifiable' because of this, and provide another signed letter explaining this.
Regarding point 2, My solicitor stated that because the director's loan is in my name in the cover letter of the management accounts that should have been considered to be part of the management accounts, so he views it as the Home Office's error. Any thoughts?
I am planning to do admin review, wait for the decision, and then immediately send in a second application. Solicitor suggested I don't even wait for the AR decision but I don't see the benefit in skipping that step, even if it is rejected 90% of the time. Any thoughts?
Is it true that the deadline to apply again will be 90 days after my original visa expired (which in this case was 11 March)?
We can fix point 2 in a new application, but what about point 1?
Does anyone have any advice on the best course of action?
Such a frustrating turn of events and it's unfortunate to see so many other refusals after long waits as well.
