I've got a question about a refusal for UK Visitor Visa. Just got it today. The 2 reasons provided were:
1.) What is the source of the money (7 Lakhs) in your bank account that you have deposited in increments over the past 2 months?
2.) As your father is a farmer and your financially dependent on your father, there were no supporting documents to show any farming related expenses such as tracker registration, farming supply receipts, etc.
And, on the basis of the above mentioned reasons my application was rejected.
For reason #1, I withdrew and deposited 3Lakhs from a joint account under mine and my grandmother's name after her passing away. After withdrawing the money I had closed that account as she was the primary on that account. The remaining 4 Lakhs came from the sale of a car under my father's name. My father just asked me to deposit the money from the sale of the car into my account as University is starting soon I have to pay my fees and also for the purpose that I want to travel to the UK for the Olympics (as my grandfather is going to be one of the torch bearer!!!). I don't know if it makes any different but I had deposited the money in increments of 1/2 Lakh each time as if you deposit more than that the amount gets heavily taxed. Please let me know if this explanation looks good and how can I present 'how I've acquired the funds in my account' so I can satisfy the Visa Officer. And, in my application I've said that I'm dependent on my father financially as I'm still a student.
For Reason#2, I'm able to provide the registration for farming vehicles/equipment and show other expenses I guess by handing in the receipts, etc.
Thanks for replying guys.
Batleykhan: I've shown all the properties that we own in India both farming land and commercial. Framing is my father's primary source of income. As for the commercial property, he just has them as investments. I'm also the only child of my parents and I don't have any intentions of residing in UK except that I want to visit my Uncle and Grandpa for the Olympics and for the sake of travelling after finishing my undergrad.
But would it be a good idea to re-apply so soon as my grandpa is bearing the torch on July 21st and its the 7th today
. As for my reason to travel, I put down that I wanted to go see my grandpa be the torch bearer as well as that I want to visit uncle and grandpa. pennylessinindia: lol I totally get ya about tax evasion. Of course I'm not going to say that I was trying to save myself some tax Rs!
I just don't want to talk to up anything more than I already have being the dumbass :)Can you guys give me further advice to what else can I do not to talk to up again! I really want to go see my Grandfather as the torch bearer and the games! My uncle is sponsoring me and they've got my tickets and everything! And, please let me know weather I should appeal the decision with the clarification or file a new application keeping the timeline in mind. Which of the two makes me look good and get me the Visa ASAP.
FYI: I'm an Indian Resident residing in India
Thank you guys for reading.
