Congrats,
You didn't need to worry in the 1st place cos you are citizen of a rich country. UKBA annoy only people like us who only try to do things the legal way to contribute in u.k economy. But the only reason is because we are citizens of poor countries. Our fault is that if we are allowed to work here that makes us to improve our families life back at home as well.

Thats a funny way to look at it. I do think the OP could have applied for ILR based on Long Residence (10 years) rather than tier 1! But hey like they say 'different strokes for different folks'.

I m not sure about ILR based on long residence because i have spent way more time than 18 months out of the country. I m just glad I can stay in UK and do business

Congrats....

One Questions: Didnt they ask you where did u get the money from..??

They refused my application with the reason that i didnt submit the proof of the funds held in uk for more then 2 yrs...

I am confused now that how can i show them the proof that its my own money and is in bank for over 2 yrs time.

I guess they think i borrowed £200k from someone in uk to get this visa for over 2 yrs....stupid reason...

They didn't ask me anything, all i did was submit the documents and there was no interview.

The money was held in my bank account in HK for a couple of years (Didint show proof) and was transferred to my UK bank account 2 weeks before my application. I have shown them receipts of the transactions to show money was sent from my Hong Kong bank account to my UK bank account tho.

From my understanding, the investment money doesn't have to be in the account for a certain period of time, technically you can transfer the money in the day before your application.

Hope this help
