I am so sorry and know how you feel. The BHC wouldnt even reconsider a decision even though my mother died this week and i am due to have our first baby in two weeks and have no other family to speak of. My midwife has had to drag my MP kicking and screaming into this argument and finally his secret...

Just thought i would bump this thread incase any new members not aware of it. I am still waiting for the british high commission in chenni to send their bundle to AIT. Our baby is due next month. It makes me sick to be honest, the BHC are aware my mother is terminally ill and i am 8 months pregnant ...

The ECO assessing my husbands application ignored all evidence of relationship and insisted we would not live together. I challenged both refusals with ukvisas and got nowhere. I now have to wait. The ECO has till 24th May to submit bundle, our first child is due on 26th May. I applied to AIT to hav...

I set up the 10 downing street petition last year after i got my husbands refusal and quickly realised there was nowhere to get answers (real answers). I also reailised that there is no immediate fix ans the bhc tend to all stick together. So, now i am 7 months pregnant and basically coming to terms...

I too urge anyone who cares about this issue to sign these petitions, together we will be strong.

I am not debating systems are unfair but why is that any different?
If a non eu spouse was considering divorce after 1 year into a spouse visa would it not be an abuse of the system to stay married until they got the ILR?

Oh, and I would be happy to pay a fee increase of 100%.... but will the application get processed 100% faster? Will the IND be 100% more helpful? Will I get 100% more for my money? Somehow, I think not... Yes me too, if it was going to a decent service, instead what i got this time was a page of il...

I just checked out the "divorcing me eea partner" what a joke, this is exactly what im talking about, open to abuse just as easily if not easier than a spouse visa.

I do think though that the general public will think this is a good thing simply because they see it as a step to stop importing husbands/wives. I feel people need to be aware in this country that the government is slowly but surely chipping away at all our civil liberties. I want justice for Britis...

I would agree with you if the system was the same for everyone. But it's not. It is far easier for the eea permit to be abused than the system in place for British nationals. If the system was more competent generally then i would say yes. And for the record, there are lots of people whose relations...

The service so far i have received from British High Commissions abroad is disgraceful. The last refusal for my husband was illiterate nonsense that obviously had not been checked before it was sent. As noone will stand up for British citizens and their non eu spouses i would expect more of the same...

I am not sure about the British High Commissions you mentioned but at Chennai it took less than a week each time we submitted the application, although they did refuse both.
I am currently appealing decisions.
Please make sure you have everything covered in your evidence folder.
Best of luck

The only problem is it makes no difference if you follow the guidelines as the people put in charge of the visas dont follow the guidelines in quite the same way otherwise there wouldnt be as many successful appeals. I must prove my whole life, they just have to say "we dont believe you". ...
