Hope you are all doing well. I am super happy to finally be joining the forum
I applied for my visa on the 29th of December 2012. It was refused in July 2013 and I was given the hearing date for March 2014. The reason for refusal were as follows:
That I did not provide evidence that the business has a business premises in the UK(It is currently a home based business and just this month, I have secured a space in central London)
and that I have not provided evidence of being self employed from HMRC although my business is a ltd company.
They did not award points for the fund being held under a UK financial institution. (I supplied a letter from HSBC and I managed to get the bank manager to write the letter in the exact words of the Home Office.
And of course no points were awarded for the funds being available in the UK.
I feel that the appeal is straight forward but from all the horror stories I have read, I will definitely be using a barrister.
I am thinking of sending all the documents that I sent for the initial application. My sister wants me to add a business plan and my accounts to date to strengthen my application. Is this an unnecessary step that will further complicate issues? Please note that I have already spent £6000 pounds for products. So the funds in my account which have been maintained for a year now is 45000.(Includes maintenance funds)
