Tkhan - well youre lucky that they called your husband in for an interview to ask about missing papers. They didnt even ask my husband to come for an interview and we had missing papers too. They refused it without even asking for additional documents. So until my husband gets his visa and hes here ...
After 30th May, you will have to wait 3 weeks to get the decision. I would consider getting an immigration lawyer to represent you. Seriously, though if you can just re-apply - dont go down this appeal route - its really bad. I havent seen my husband for a whole year, and his appeal case was refused...
OK....yes, review's are mandatory, but do they carry them out? NO. I have evidence stating the fact that my husband's case was not reviewed until I actually lodged a complaint on the UKVisa's webpage, and the ECM himself (Peter Winters, in Islamabad) replied to me the following day stating that the ...
Awais, I too was naieve like you, thinking that it wouldnt take long appealing in the UK and that there were only minor issues they would deal with straightaway. You have to imagine, every other person thinks like you, and so how many appeals do you think they deal with in a day? They will not deal ...
I dont know about other countries, but in Islamabad, Pakistan they do not review appeal documents. It is just complete nonsense - I know this from personal experience. I was waiting for our documents to be "reviewed" for 7 months, and i got a hearing date instead. So don't get caught up in...
I've recently started working and my contract is for 3 months up until july 31st, after that it may turn into a permanent position - could i apply for my husband;s visa with this temp job or not? Help will be appreciated, thanks.
Ive recently started working and want to apply for my husband's visa again which was refused last year. The problem is that at the moment my contract is only lasting up until july 31st, and then there is a chance it may turn into a permanent position - could I apply for his visa, by submitting the c...
My husbands visa was refused in august last year, and we got the appeal date in March this year - personally, if you're working and can afford it, then I would reapply now. Honestly, its not worth the hassle waiting and waiting, you just become bitter and end up hating everything and everyone. I cou...
smooth operator - i would think not. My sis-in-law had an MA, and she forwarded her certificates to show that she was educated and knew English when she applied for ILR, and they accepted this and she didnt have to do any kind of test. This was in 2005, so I dont know if things have changed since th...
Ive heard from my husband in Pakistan that before you apply for a settlement visa you have to take an English course and pass it and include the certificate in your documents to prove you can speak and understand English. I know there is the English test for ppl who are applying for naturalisation, ...
omg....i absolutely know how youre feeling mrsi - im in exactly the same boat - hubby refused visa in august, had baby in october, and then i couldnt work with baby. The appeal took 7 months, and i still dont know whats happened about it - to be honest ive totally given up now and i havent seen my h...
Is there any chance that the judge can turn around and dismiss the appeal on completely new grounds, even if the original reasons for refusal have been met?
khan85 - youre absolutely right, its a lifetime committment, not a game. I dont understand why these people get their kids married off in the first place, and then stop them from living a happy life. As a mother, i just want my baby to be happy all her life no matter what, how can you take happiness...
Thanks Victoria - i'm hoping that 1 in 10 sod isnt in the court room when i go in... sajid - its next week, and i will let you know what questions they ask. I'm just praying to Allah that it gets done....something at the back of my head is saying the appeal will be dismissed, so im just waiting for ...
thats so sad johnboy - i know what you mean - asian parents and families get so bloody protective over their daughters.....this is kind of happening to me. Im waiting for my husbands hearing and if he isnt granted a visa im going to work, no matter what anybody says. Its ok for parents and family me...
£65 is NOTHING!! In Oxford its £265 for a person from the council to come around and write a report....so youre both lucky! My husbands hearing is next week, and if he doesnt get it through that im going to have to work, i hope everything works out for the best for both of you. Its hard living wit...
Thank You Wanderer and SYH on your in-depth character studies of the people who are regulars in this forum; most helpful (!). Thanks Kitty - Basically I'm hoping the Home Office representative wont be asking any trick questions trying to trip me up....Ive heard they do that. The main reasons for ref...
Yes, i suppose it makes sense.....it just seemed like a very brash reply. Well apart from from that question (which is the whole point of the appeal), are there any other questions they ask?
For anyone who has been to a hearing, can you tell me what kind of questions they ask. Do they only ask Q's that relate to why the application was refused, and the new evidence we provide? Or do they ask other Q's about relationship, etc...
Thank You John. Im a British citizenMy husband will be applying from Islamabad, but im not working at the moment due to having a baby, but want to start next month. Can I safely assume that when i do start working I will be able to get help with my babys child care costs? As Ive worked out I will be...
SO would that mean, if i were to sponsor somebody then i cant recieve child benefit, even though I and baby are British Citizens??? I thought everyone recieved child benefit regardless of how much they earn.....you cant get child trust fund without child benefit, so can someone explain please
If you want to apply for a spouse visa for your husband, and have a baby in the UK, can you get help with child care costs while you work from the government or is that seen as "recourse to public funds?". Also, is child benefit, seen as "recourse to public funds?" Desperately ne...
I know they stopped allowing this, but i know someone who applied for spouse visa in May and got a family member to sponsor her husband, but their case got rejected but NOT on the grounds that it was a 3rd party sponsorship. When this case goes to hearing will the judge be in favour of a visa or not?
