Thanks John,

I take it you have been refused a visa by the British Embassy and would like to know if they will reconsider their decison without going through the appeal procedure. The answer is NO. The answer is YES! Although it is also true to say that it does not always work, but the fact is that if someone f...

Congratulations Shameem!!!

That really is wonderful news, really really happy for you!!!

ive been told that the AIT have received the appeal docs from the BHC. the ECO has 19 weeks to reply back to the AIT and give reasons for still refusing the visa.. . based on their track record i reckon my hubby may be here this time next year . . .

Susy1 - I'll keep my fingers crossed. :P Do you have a good lawyer helping you? It doesn't hurt to email the embassy yourself direct on a daily basis believe me, Be polite (to the point of grovelling!) and just keep asking what the hell is going on. Contact your MP too. thanks 3crown. i dont have a...

You work in the UK? Your wife is applying for a 27-month spouse visa somewhere outside the UK? Unless they have any ...

If you have an online accunt, then you can print out a statement and get it stamped by your bank. There is no need to get a solicitor to do it, plus the bank will do it for free. Of course this depends on who you have the online account with. Lloyds, Halifax, HSBC etc all have branches you can walk...
