Visa refused after interview

[Ent2013]

hi,
My Ent visa (50k) refused (02 May) after interview.

Case details:
Apply: 28th Nov 2012
Interview call: 28 March
Interview: 15th April
Business: IT Services
Funds: Personal Account (uk)

No Queries made by ukba

Right of appeal: Yes

Reason:
Home office is not satisfied that you are genuinely going to establish business or intend to invest 50 k.

(No objection on any document at all, not asked for any doc since i applied)

Only reason i see is i am in UK from almost last 7 years.


Regards

Hi ent 2013,,
Thats a really sad news. Now you have to prove in appeal that you are a genuin business man and you have started the business,have invested some of the money and would continue to dothe full investment of 50ks.
By the way, would you like to share some of your interview qz, about your job and business nature please and what sort of contracts you provided?
Best of luck for appeal.hopefully you will get positive results.
Regards

Sorry to hear this mate. You should be okay in appeal insha Allah.

Did you apply alone or in a team?

[Ent2013]

hi,
i provided everything in interview, insurance quote, office address, potential customers, etc.

Overall interview was very casual, it was like fun, no serious questions at all, just general questions.

[Ent2013]

I'm sorry to hear about your refusal. I hope you do well in appeal. I just have one question can you tell me what is your education background?

[Ent2013]

hi,
My educational background is different than IT, i am an Mech Engineer, but they said they are satisfied with it, and awarded points for English on the base of degree.
Also they said we are completely satisfied with your immigration history, but we dont think if we give you T1 leave you will genuinely establish business or intend to invest.

regards

[surveyer]

So sorry to hear that. I guess like you mentioned the reason could be just that. Hope you can get it through appeal. I feel the interviewer is also our case worker although they do not like to tell us that. Was he/ she fully satisfied with whatever you mentioned during interview? Its so sick of them to refuse for such silly reasons despite providing all documents asked in the guidance and yet some who are not even aware of the rules in full go on to get the visa which is so unfair.

[Ent2013]

hi,
Actually I myself was not satisfied with the interview, because it was very casual and the person took my interview took in a hurry coz she was more interested to go home than finish with interview (my interview was at 1600). So its just matter of luck, its not about documents or not being genuine. And they did not object on any of my document, they accept in refusal letter they received everything required (current appt report, contract, etc).

Regards

Did they mention why they are not satisfied ? They should not just say they.are not satisfied.

[Ent2013]

hi,
As i said they have no objection on any document directly, like bank statement or business statement, contract etc.

All they said is that, we are not satisfied, we dont think by giving you T1 leave you will establish business or intend to invest 50k. They did not mention any objection on funds even.

regards

Did they mention why they are not satisfied ? They should not just say they.are not satisfied.

They also consider your educational background and past work experience. Your business should relate to both. They called you for interview probably for this reason and were not satisfied with the answers you gave them.

that is absolutely true. When they want to reject a case, they call you for interview before rejecting it so that they are convinced that they are taking the right decision and that they are not being unfair with you and also that they gave you a chance to prove your genuineness.

[Ent2013]

hi,
Right, but business experience or past work is not particularly a requirement to apply for T1 from ukba! And there is no guarantee of any business!
Its an opportunity provided by ukba or gov.

Well i think as far as educational and experience was concerned my answers were very much fine.

and i am not calming points on the base of Experience.

[Ent2013]

are you sure they are issuing visas only to genuine people? dont want to say more on this here.

Tell me which govt will issue a visa to someone who is not genuine ?

You have to prove in your application as well as in interview that you are genuine. I know those who are not genuine also got their visa. That is because they somehow succeeded in convincing that they are genuine.

[Ent2013]

What proof they have that i am not genuine, just coz they are saying it so i am not genuine, i am already in business, and evidences i provided they accept it, that they have receive all those docs, and further they said your immigration history is fine is as well we are satisfied with it.
And why are you defending them?

It is very much a requirement. It is not mentioned in the policy guidance but in the immigration rules. And they ask you to read both, policy guidance as well as Immigration Rules - part 6A. The link is given on the UKBA website.

[Ent2013]

Than they should come up with this objection clearly

Please do not misunderstand. I am not defending them, neither am I calling you a fraud.

I am just saying how they scrutinize an application. If you think you can challenge their decision, then you must do so.

[Ent2013]

Off course i will go for appeal

And i dont think so they are really scrutinize applications coz if they do, i dont think so much people can get this visa...
