Oh dear! I can imagine how you feel! Sad to learn of your refusal! Your case is quite technical and requires expertise. I think your solicitor is inexperienced and didnot advice you properly as you should have gotten visa 1st time. It's always best to show the investment money in your personal account Not business account to avoid headache. I suggest you seek 2nd opinion especially if you still have the 50k(in your personal account), have maintenance money for 90days, registered company pre 11th of July and can proof business activity. If you are in london or willing to travel I know an experienced solicitor who may be of help if you like(obviously this means spending more). Sometimes reading the policy guidance and browsing this forum is sufficient to apply and get visa. Best wishes!sri0805 wrote:Hi All,
I was on PSW until May 30 2013 and was working as an engineer for a reputed Automobile Manufacturer. I had a sponsor who promised to sponsor me the Tier 2 General Visa before my PSW ran out. But the sponsor backed off from sponsoring me at the end of March 2013 citing some issues. I approached a Solicitor and she suggested to apply for the Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa with 50k GBP as the investment. I asked mt dad to sell some land in India and brought the money over to UK in June 2013. Before that my Solicitor had applied for FLR(Further Leave to Remain) application with the Home Office so that I could arrange the 50k and get it transferred to UK.
I had registered my Ltd company on April 09 2013 while I was still on PSW and started trading immediately. MY FLR was rejected in June, but I got the 50k transferred to UK within one week after the rejection and my Solicitor made the Tier1 application. My Tier 1 application was refused at the first time and they did not award me any points for the 50k in my business account which I am the sole director of. My Solicitor made an appeal in the court and also made a 2nd Tier 1 application. IN the meantime a case worker from the Home office called my Solicitor and spoke to her saying that she has to withdraw either the court appeal or the Home office application so that either the court or the HO can make the decision on my Visa and convinced my Solicitor that there were only a few documents missing from my Visa application and I won't have any issues in getting the Visa if I include these documents.My solicitor discussed with me and then we decided to withdraw the court appeal and go ahead with the Tier 1 visa application. Unfortunately my Tier 1 was again rejected in September 2013 and my Solicitor asked the HO to reconsider my Visa application was unfairly treated. The HO responded in March 2014 saying that they won't reconsider my Visa application and asked me to make a fresh application or to leave the country.
But the HO never returned all my Original documents which I had submitted including my Indian Passport. I filled in the online form for the return of my documents on May 03 2014 and the HO said that they will send me the documents in 10 working days but I have not yet received the documents as of today (04 September 2014). Meanwhile I lost my business contract with the automotive company on June 20 2014. Right now I am stuck here and my Solicitor has asked me to make a 3rd Tier 1 application and if it gets rejected she has asked me to go back to India.
I am totally devastated and humiliated by the way in which the HO has treated me, as since the time I have been in this country I have done everything legally and even all the bills and taxes of my business was paid promptly. My career depended on my business and I feel like I am fighting a losing battle.
I would be really grateful if any one of you could advice me any way to get out of this nightmare as I am running out of time and losing the will to live in the UK as my family has taken a huge risk by giving me the 50k by selling their property. Looking forward to hear any positive response. Thanks.

If your business is fully active and you are sure the investment funds is still very intact, you can complain directly to your solicitor by email to keep the records and then submit a fresh application with the guidance of an experienced legal professional.''If you've complained to your solicitor about poor service or about their bill, and you aren't satisfied with your solicitor's response, you should contact the Legal Ombudsman on 0300 555 0333, who can help to resolve your complaint for you. - See more at: http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/for-the-pu ...
