twister wrote:Hi.
I am curious if someone has ever appealed for a Tier 1 refusal under facial discrimination? How does it work? What does one need to prove?
Thanks.

So, has anyone gone this route?
just stop this nonsense.twister wrote:@chetan - mistakes are completely understandable. However, I don't see why I should have to pay for a new application fee and have a refusal stamped into my passport if the ECO/ECM errs.
@dr - good question. Firstly facial discrimination does not necessarily mean race, it could be nationality or otherwise also. I don't want to disclose the situation yet. Just want to gauge if anyone has gone this route.
That will be a long shot. Just because a VISA is refused and you are made to ay fee again no one will believe that it was because of any bias. Did you fulfill all the conditions?twister wrote:@chetan - mistakes are completely understandable.

But the person who posted the query is getting feedback. There is no inappropriate content in the posts; There have been no specific mention of nationality/race etc. either so why ban it? Have I missed anything here?MyHSMPApplication wrote:Moderators
I believe this thread isn't helping anyone. Can we please ban this post.

I agree that people can be discriminated against on a number of fronts. I also respect that you do not wish to disclose any additional information. However, given a points-based approach used in the Tier 1 immigration, it does reduce the likelihood of any inappropriate discrimination. I mean, it's hardly a subjective process is it?twister wrote:@chetan - mistakes are completely understandable.

This unfortunately is a standard refusal statement. If you look at the HSMP caseworker's guidance you will find that even the rejection letters have to have a standard language based on the peculiarities of case in handtwister wrote:@dr - how do I intend to prove it? On the "balance of probabilities"..
So you didnt finally appeal on facial discrimination basistwister wrote:Hello again everyone.
Just wanted to let everybody know that I went ahead and had a solicitor send a letter to the UKBA and promptly they agreed to issue my visa.
I did not mention why it was denied in the first place was, because a lot of people had sent requests for Admin Review for the same reason those days and did not want to make them anxious. The refusal was based on submitting a stamped and signed bank statement that did not have a logo.
Hope this helps
And its really cold here!
