Tier 1 Exp talent visa refused in stage 2

Dear friends, need urgent help. My tier 1 exceptional talent visa is refused today after stage 2. Received decision letter today with all originals. I am not given option of administrative review also. Letter does not mention any specific reason for refusal.

I am currently on Tier 2 ICT visa. My wife has her own tier 2 general visa.

Can someone please help me in answering following queries :

1) will my ICT visa get impacted due to above said refusal? ICT is valid till august 2019.
2) can i switch to my wife's tier 2 general dependent without any issue of refusal again on the ground of tier 1 refusal?

Please help me urgently.

Refusal letter states that after due consideration, they have not found my application meeting necessary qualification for Tier 1 category visa hence the refusal. Letter also mentions that i can not apply for review as they have done necessary checks before making decision on my application.

I am really worried. Please suggest wayforward and can i switch to tier 2 general dependent?

Did you miss my answers to your questions???

Does the letter state what you did not qualify in or an immigration rule that is relevant?

Thanks for your quick reply. I was reading other posts in this forum whuch mentions that 90% of cases if new visa are refused if there is a previous history of refusal hence i am really worried. Please suggest uf i need to take care any specific point while applying for tier 2 dependent.

Letter does not mention any immigration clause for refusal which is very strange for me too.

ok. You got someone else from the same IP address who is in exactly the same situation as you. Maybe worth figuring out and joining forces.

Your email address for this new username is almost identical to the other username. Both of you posting from the exact same static sky IP address with the exact same visa story (current ICT visa, wife Tier 2 G visa, switching visa).

Interesting, given that your email ID is eerily similar to the Ramgoel.

Same IP address and too similar a connection.

I am fine with people making mistakes - but should be willing to own up.

I'll personally not be commenting to your questions, sorry.

+1 me neither.

Very suspicious especially as the Tier 1 Ex Talent is such a rare query we have on the forum and 'two users' with IDENTICAL visas and circumstances posting within days is very unusual.

To try and get different responses or what they want to hear or to bump up their queries!! We have seen it all and see it often.

Unless you can specifically provide the links of where exactly you read this in the forum, we can't comment. There are many visa routes and many different circumstances regarding refusals. What might apply to one category does NOT necessarily apply to another category.

As I have already said, you can switch to tier 2 dependent within the UK.

Thanks CR001 for your reply. I will be applying for T2 general dependent soon. Hoping for the best result. Do you think I should take help of immigration solicitor this time to avoid any issue again? Does homeoffice treats application via solicitors differently as online application in UK always asks if application involves solicitor?

Your choice but not really needed as you are not an overstayer and you only need to meet the requirements for the dependent visa. The only time you would potentially have an issue is if HO perceive you used deception in a previous application.

No it makes no difference. Using a solicitor has no influence on your application. The only you will be is poorer and remember that even 'experienced advisors/solicitors' often get even the most basic applications horribly wrong.
