Hello Push_hsmp,

I need your feedback now. A mistake has happened from my end.
My representative had sent the AR forms to the BHC and they confirmed the same on monday i.e.., 20th april 2009 that they received the appendix on behalf of me on 17th april at 2:37 PM. But I was intimated about the same little later.

Meanwhile I sent the forms to the BHC depicting the entire scenario. I sent all the forms and in my covering letter also told them that Incase if they receive
the forms from my representative they can discard my forms.

Now would that be a problem? Any chance they will cancel the request for AR review.
I read in one of the sites that incase two people send the forms they would cancel the request for review.

Please provide me your valuable feedback. If required I will post you my covering letter .

Awaits your comments. Look forward to your quick response which would of gr8 help!

Bharath.

Well I have not come across such a case in the past so can not comment anything with certainty. However, they should not (and I think can not) cancel the AR because:
(1) You have clearly mentioned that in case they receive duplicate AR form they should discard one of these
(2) You were informed by BHC some time back that they did not recive the appendix to the AR form, which essentially prompted you to send the forms from your end -"The BHC called me over my mobile last thursday and told me that they received only my letter not any appendix forms from my consultant. "

Do not be overly worried about it. You might want to speak to them and clarify. I guess you have spoken to them in the past as well and thus have their contact details.

Hello Push_hsmp & senior member,

I am done with my AR approach at the BHC,Chennai. So far haven;t heard from them :-(
Though aware of my case, inbrief I was rejected for HSMP Tier 1 since my maintenance fund statement was an internet download . But it was an internet statement from the ING Branch office , bangalore well attested with the stamp and signature of the official.

Hence I had send AR form along with a covering letter giving my bank manager contact details (Mail ID, Office Phone number-direct etc...) .

From the guidelines regrads Administrative Review :(stated below)
"Administrative Review Request Notice

PBS Administrative Review Request Notice guidance notes

You must complete this in full and send it directly to the address stated on the Request Notice.

You must not send any additional documents such as passport/travel document or supporting documents with the Administrative Review Request Notice. If the refusal is subsequently overturned, you will be asked to send in your passport/travel document. You may request only one Administrative Review per refusal decision. Any further review requests for the same refusal decision will not be accepted and will be returned to you. "

I assumed that we are not supposed to send any additional supporting documents, hence did not attach any letter from the bank.


But you people in one of the threads "http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=39082 SUBJECT:
Administrative Review chances of success....Help pls" say that one can send a letter from the bank.

Can you please let me know whether what I have done is sufficient or should I also have sent a letter from the bank.

Please judge my chances of admin review success with the what I have done

Best Regards,
Bharath

It is perfectly fine to send supporting documents which clear confusion over the evidence already provided. It is difficult to opine what view would the case worker will take on your case (as there is some element of subjectivity). Ideally you should not have got rejection in the first place.

So you mean to say a bank letter would've been better even in my case? Please let me know your opinion. Are there any chances that I can send it now. I applied for the AR on 17th April 2009.

What is the element of subjectivity that you meant in my case.

Awaits feedback / comments!

I guess I saw your cover letter and it pretty much covered the points. You may still wish to send the letter from the Bank.
Element of subjectivity - The process is slightly subjective in the sense t hat for same set of documents two caseworker can have a different opinion - more so, while making a mistake.

Hello everyone,

Fortunately I got the line to BHC, chennai today. when I spoke to them , the lady just checked the status with my passport number and replied me the same story like we have received your forms bla bla.....

I asked her again "when can i expect the decision?" may be atleast next month. She replied they cannot assure on the time line and confirmed me that it would take more time as there is huge stack of backlogs.

I am very much irritated with them. They've published in the policy saying it would not take more than 28 working days. But my case I find it going beyond 3 months tenure :-(((((

Tier 1 Refusal

Post by sarvesh1119 » Wed Jun 10, 2009 1:51 pm

Hi Push_HSMP,

I sincerely need some advice from you in my case.

I was refused the Tier 1 visa on March 4th 2009, for not been able to produce a bank support letter for my HSBC UK bank account from India.

I was also asked to submit an admin review form along with the refusal which I did on March 27th.

After doing that my company applied for a business visa for my work related travel in May, which was subsequently refused for 2 reasons
1. I had marked the field " If you have been refused on entry clearance previously" as a No, because I was under the impression that a refusal is a valid refusal, only after my documents have been returned back to me, which were subsequently not.
2. For marking a No in that field, the ECO has branded the application under false documentation and has also mentioned that any visa application for the next 10 years would be automatically refused unless a concession applies.

He has also mentioned a clause of potential immigration & refused my business visa.

Concerns:
1. Will the Business Visa clause affect my Tier 1 refusal & stamping process?
2. I have also gone through the UK border agency website, it mentions that if the applicant clears Entry Clearance, Stamping will still be refused if the applicant has a back ground of false documentation.

Require your help in this matter.

Requesting you to please assist.

Regards,
Sarvesh
