It seems you made an in-time application so you will have a right of appeal.

[tierjojo]

sorry to hear this. Would you mind to provide more info so it helps other to understand you situation.
1- was you applied as employed or self-employed?
2- Was there only 1 or more entries does not match with payslip and bank stat?
3- Have you not mentioned this to your cover letter about the discrepancy in ur pay slips and bank stat.?

thanks..

I was Self-Employed and there were multiple entries ( i got my salary and expenses credited once in 3 months from my umbrella company and the payslips showed monthly , later i started my own LLC )

There were multiple enteries like above .

My solicitor haven't mentioned about this in the covering letter.

Is it possible to re-apply with the modified / corrected financial documents ?

If so , can i go for a Premium service ?

Today , I got a call form homeoffice that my visa application for tier-1 extension has been refused .
Date Refused : ( 24-july-2012)

Was the refusal communicated to you verbally over the phone?
If so, did they give any reason for calling in November 2012 for a refusal decision taken in July 2012?

This is the first time ever, that I know of, that an applicant has been communicated a decision on a "call". So, surprising for me at least.

Did the person on the call tell you when you will receive written confirmation on the decision?

[Lucapooka]

I did not spot that and, yes, it's bizarre. Are you, in fact, referring to a recent notice of refusal for an appeal that was made after the refusal in July? And since when do they call with decisions? Please elaborate on what has actually happened.

Hi Sush,

Yes , The refusal was communicated verbally over the phone not just once but twice .

Mine is long story , Let me tell inshort .

Applied : 20 dec 2012 .
22nd Dec : Got an update from my solicitor that my application is undergoing further checks and verfications

no update till may 26

26 May 2012 : Till date i was waiting for the decision and suddenly on 26 th may solicitor got a call from HO saying my applications will be refused as there are descripencies in my payslips and bank statements .

no update from HO onwards.

On sep 7th 2012 , I met the local MP for expediting the visa process . she e-mailed to UKBA for a status update .

11 sep 2012 : UKBA responded that the case was decided ( refused ) on 24 th of july , and is awaiting a case worker to finish the formalities .

no update from HO onwards

5th oct : I again contacted MP's office for an update .

22nd oct : My father underwent a major surgery on ( Bipolar hemi arthoplasty ) so wanted to go india and wanted to expedite the case .

Got a link on trackitt.com (ashish ) who expedited his case by sending a fax to HO about his mother's illness.

No update

30 th Oct : got below response from UKBA .
The team are currently progressing through the backlog of cases and unable to provide an exact timescale for conclusion when my application will be formally refused .

30 th october : Sent a fax to HO providing the reports and letter from doctor with a covering letter .

today : after so many trails i got an update from HO .

She mentioned that the documents will be delivered in 3-4 days to the address provided in the application .


Still its a long story .

It's a mess that perhaps has not ready solution from a discussion forum (on the basis of the information provided). I think it's best to leave it in the hands of your solicitor as he knows what happened and can act accordingly.

Hi All,

After months of awaiting the day of hearing came 4th of Feb ,

Unfortunately the HO representative has determined to withdraw the application . He was not satisfied by the explanations provided by us and he needs some one from visa section to verify the explanations . he was asking for 2 proofs for the expenses reimbursed ( which were not mentioned in the payslips earlier)

Docs I submitted to the tribunal,

1.Letter from A/c explaining my earnings ( HO has refused my application for the discrepancy in the bank statement ,payslips and dividend vouchers)

2. Letter from solicitor / me explaining the same .

I wish you all the very best for your visa.

Hi ,
Today i received the letter of determination from the tribunal about the withdrawl on the HO decision . Now i would like to write a letter to HO providing some more details ( My company's financial report and the P60s i got from the company which provide evidence of my earnings ) . Could some one let me know the address where I can send these . This may help the case worker in understanding the mistakes that were committed while submitting the application .

Cheers,
Lakshmi

After a long stressful awaiting , today I got call from my solicitors about the delivery of my BRP . I got the visa until 16-01-2014 . They have considered the additional documentation ( provided by my accountant in support of my previous earnings) . it has been a stressful and frustrating wait . I wholeheartedly thank all the members of the group who help me pass through this trauma .

Thank you .
