Hi ,
I would like some advise on my entrepreneur visa refusal . I wont give you a long story , i'll just give some points so that its easier to read and assess.
* 8th March 2013 - Applied for Entrepreneur Visa from Post study work status
* 20th June 2013 - Refusal with the following points :
1. Legal representative document doesn't mention amount is transferable in the UK
2. Marketing evidence not provided enough ( website address details and business card was provided )
3. Contact Agreement is not signed by the other party ( it was completely a conversation over email and was agreed with terms and conditions between both )
* I then immediately contacted a solicitor and applied for an appeal ( Appeal date then was fixed on 7th March 2014 ( had to wait for more than 6 months )
* Appeal was heard and i hired a barrister to handle my case but unfortunately all the questions were directly asked me instead of barrister for confirmation as my barrister turned up with no preparation on what was in the case file .
Please note , i provided new bank statement and a cover letter confirming from the bank ( 3rd party funds ) that the previous letter provided was wrongly formatted and has now been corrected .
Further more marketing evidence was provided , including business cards , portfolios , website prints and purchase details , company letter heads and couple more .
Also provided a new agreement with the same company ive been working with , SIGNED and dated 31st January 2014 and showed all email conversations between me and the contracting party .
Also provided loads of experience letters in IT networks from UK employers on the work I've carried out in projects with them , i will not mention company ( but they are all highly renown company's )
* Appeal was refused on 31st March 2014 on the following reasons :
1- Legal representative letter - " you have provided documents and bank statements , but you did not prove that the amount will be transferred in what account and what share does your 3rd party showing funds of 50k have "
2- Marketing evidence - " you've provided evidence but website doesn't have your Contact number on it " - Website has my name and my email address and also has a forum where you can ask questions and goes directly to my company email .
3 - Contract Agreement - " You provided email details and signed copy of latest letter but the required letter had to be signed of the same day when previously it was approved by mutual parties" - EVEN though i've showed them emails and the judge wasn't convinced on email conversation and wanted everything in writing and signed .
In his last sentence the judge has dismissed my appeal telling me that i have real good experience and skills in the feild of IT and therefore these skills can be used in his own country where his family is living .
So on the basis of Human rights grounds , appeal is dismissed .
I would like a credible information/advise on how to proceed forward with this case , what is the best way forward as I've applied for an appeal again (just to get some time to think ) but was advised by my solicitors to reapply for a new application and all documents will then be corrected and applied again .
Looking forward to hear you guys
