Ask your agent for a copy of previous rejection letter or your application material. May be you can find some rejection information/stamp in your passport.

What was the rejection reason?

While you apply for Tier 1 general, there are questions that ask for the reference numbers, which is how they link you applications in the past.
(They might have other combinations as well, such as the applicant name and Date of Birth for identifying the individuals to be unique)

Some one in the past has answered to your question asking for SAB report!. PM him so, he can advise you on how to obtain that report?

This works well but I think only for people who are in UK. I personally used SAR report for my ILR preparation. But not sure whether or not HO entertain out of country application. Also HO's reply after quite a long time. They said they will response in 4 weeks but usually required reminders. Better send £10 and letter by Special delivery so that you can trace it and use as reference.

Seems the person is in UK, as per user ID location details. But who know, until he/she responds!

Details of SAR.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... tion11.pdf

How to get it:

1. You need to send a letter to Home Office.
2. Include Postal Order/Cheque in favour of "The Accounting Office - Home Office". Most of the post office doesn't accept credit/debit card for Postal Order payments. Better carry cash.
3. Send both the above to the below address(preferrably by special delivery):
Address:
The Data Protection Unit
Lunar House
40 Wellesley Rd
Croydon
CR9 2BY

Note** Send xerox copy of your passport and visa stamped pages so that person at HO can easily find your information.

Letter which you need to send is as below:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To,
The Data Protection Unit
Lunar House
40 Wellesley Rd
Croydon
CR9 2BY

Date: 16/03/2009


Re: Data Protection Act 1998 - Subject Access Request.

As advised by mvent check your rejection letter. You will have HO reference on it.

Also can you tell us where you are applying from? If you have applied from within UK than your agent's detail can be traced from OISC website.

SAR report gives you all the data HO is holding for you. Just mention in the letter that you need all your information which HO is holding for you.

You will be fine if you mention the time when you got rejected and rejection reason(as mentioned in the rejection letter).I feel so because you have got approval after that rejection. Though "never got result" still confuse me and make me think what happened there? But if you apply for SAR report you can get those details as well.
Once you have details(via SAR), you can then present details in your application accordingly.
For Tier-1 if you are meeting all eligibility creteria and provide all correct details chances of rejections are very very slim presuming you are not rejected earlier for wrong reasons. But best step forward is to get SAR report so that you are aware of your weakness before applying.

You should answer every question in application form honestly, otherwise it would be considered as deception. If you are going to apply from India, you have to provide full details of your travel/immigration history. You should provide details of all accepted or rejected visas. Try to get reference number of that rejection by above-mentioned procedures and include that in your application form.
