Discrepancy in employment history
Sean came to us with a problem: he’d applied for a visa on his own and was denied.
Right away, we asked him for his denial letter to get to the bottom of why he was refused the visa. The British embassy is actually convenient to work with in that way. Unlike other countries’ embassies, they actually don't issue everybody standard brush-off formalities like “We don't like your financial situation and travel history”. Instead, they write out the reasons in detail as to why they refused a certain person a visa. Sean's rejection letter stated the following reason: when he’d applied for his last visa that he received Spring 2019, he wrote that he'd worked at “New Technologies+” since February 2016, but the documents that he later submitted when he applied for a visa in 2020 indicated that he had been working at “Entrepreneur Antony Corrigan” since July 20215. This discrepancy is what motivated the denial of his visa. At the embassy, they simply opened up his last form and past documents and checked them against the form he submitted along with the documents he provided in 2020.
It turned out that Sean had indeed worked at “New Technologies+” from February 2016 until August 2019 and also worked at “Entrepreneur Antony Corrigan” at the same time. While things weren't going so swimmingly at “New Technologies+”, he quit and continued working at "Entrepreneur Atony Corrigan”. Sean couldn't understand why he needed to jot down a second job last time, if it almost didn't bring him any income and the primary income he was making came from his job at “New Technologies+”. How do you explain all of that to the embassy and prove that he didn’t provide any false documents in his last visa application form?
Our professionals developed a strategy for getting Sean a visa. We confirmed using documentation that his employment at “New Technologies+” was a job he'd officially held and at the same time he’d worked at "Entrepreneur Antony Corrigan”.
It took us getting the CEO, secretary, and accountant at “New Technologies” involved. The bank where Sean also had received income from both workplaces also took part in providing evidence. It’s a good thing that his salary at “New Technologies+” was official. That may have rid him of the need to handle some tricky documents.
Following the 2-week examination period of his new visa application documents, Sean not only received a visa – he also corrected his travel history!
