another update,
I sent a complaint email to UKVI and a senior caseworker from Abu Dhabi has emailed me yesterday and they have accepted their mistake and are in process of reconsidering the application. Result.

the documents provided by my mother to show that she has ties to country are below: 1. Property Documents (translated / attested by Court) 2. Documents (wage slips/letter) from the Workplace where her son works in Pakistan who lives with her/ ID Card 3. Documents and ID card of the dependant son who...

ok uncle calm down

perhaps, UKBA needs to pull finger out of their arses and read the cases properly before sending a generic refusal letter to everyone.

I will complain and may be contact my MP on this.

is there a number in the UK i can ring them on. I have already lodged a complaint to UKBA but it would be good if can speak to them and give them some bollocking

thanks.

can't believe that.

why can't we appeal ?

hi there,
I am not going to re-apply as they may reject it again for some bizzare reasons. I am going to appeal against it this time.

Applied from Islamabad and they decided within 2 weeks without reading the application.

thanks

Hi, I wonder if I can get some help on appealing my mother's visitor visa which has been rejected today. I am a british citizen and I was sponsoring the visit for my mother I have just had a look at the refusal letter which she received and it looks to me like the immigration officer has not even re...

i have received mine today.

applied 4th November.
Received 1st March letter dated 20th Feb. (cheeky buggers post 2nd class).

high risk, low risk is plain bollocks I think. they just have a standard check procedure which they perform on every case. on the other hand they don't have any procedure in place on how to handle applications in a hierarchical order i.e: date etc. and before you ask, what are those caseworkers. the...

fees have been deducted from my account today. applied on 4th Nov

may be random as nowt out of my account yet. applied on 4th so they may be dealing with 1st november applications ?

i applied on 4th of November, no deductions have been made and no letter either.

piles and piles of paperwork are a hassle.

I normally scan them in the best quality as I can and then destroy the rest.

If required we can print the scans, moreover, HO has the record of everthing anyway.

its personal choice.

why use deception at the first place. its already understood. everyone knows one's own secrets and one can be honest to oneself.
