Yeah.. the actual reason as written by the ECO was that 'Gross' was not mentioned even though it was in my contract and it can be worked out via my payslips... My MP received a response from Visa customer services stating that I did not submit payslips or bank statements as evidence of gross income....

is that all you submitted as the sponsor?

Are you the sponsor? If so, what documents have you submitted?

Could you state what application you have submitted so that the members here can provide relevant answers.

Sorry for the late reply. The appeal is in progress and the appeals team in chennai have confirmed that. My MP received a reply from the Visa office customer services stating that I did not submit pay slips and bank statements as evidence of gross income - which my MP is currently challenging as thi...

I just wish I could have answered that :) for the appeal, we haven't sent any original documents. So all documents are still with us. If they decide to overturn the decision, they will only request the passport for stamping. I'm sure there'd be someone else with a successful application who can resp...

@aishpe - please click profile at the bottom and see all posts by me and you'll get an understanding of the situation.

My wife's application was for settlement.

They returned everything for my application.

Chennai is now well known for sending out these standard replies.

Its good that at least you received a response - be ready for another email in the next few days saying that a decision has been made.

I would assume that the remaining 20% took longer than 120 working days.

Not submitting SU07 and employer letter did not mention the word 'Gross' next to Salary.

I'm in the same situation - wait until April 30th for them to respond. What you can do in the meantime... to help you with the waiting game: Contact your MP and explain the situation. Ask them if they can help - they would usually write to the Visa office. Write to the Visa office yourself and get c...

They should do within the next couple of days

I agree Vinny - as per the guidance, SU07 is not mandatory - but a lot of applications were rejected (post July 2012) and SU07 was mentioned as not submitted - so was mine. I wrote to the ECM asking whether it should be submitted if I was to reapply and he stated the below: Until we get clarificatio...

I was informed by the Entry Clearance Manager that they were still seeking to clarify whether the SU07 form is mandatory or not.

I would advise you to submit the form just in case.

You can appeal... and if you have the money to reapply - you may do so.

@Aishpe

Your husband's passport copy and a copy of all the visa's to India should be provided to support your applications. Especially the visa used to go for the marriage.

There was a refusal quite recently because the visa was not there to support evidence of your relationship.

The TB certificate has no effect on the appeal - but if the appeal takes over 6 months, or the certificate expires before the decision is overturned, your wife will have to do the test again or renew the certificate before arriving in UK.

There is still no harm in writing to the ECM - if the case workers, decide not to forward your evidence to the ECM, they will let you know immediately - otherwise, the ECM will respond within 20 working days. The ECM would not need your Travel expense receipts - but you must have a letter from your ...

If you are able to provide evidence relating to your travel expenses, I would advise you to collect this evidence and forward it to the Entry Clearance Manager immediately. They will reply to you within 20 working days. I would also advise you to submit an appeal with the evidence as soon as possibl...

Your husband should contact the AIT and ask for an update.

I spoke with them. They said that all communication from this point will be via post but you can always call them to get an update.

Could you clarify who is the applicant (you or your husband) and who is the sponsor?

They will send you confirmation by post...

Hi Zohra, Please try contacting the tribunals. I sent my appeal on 15th November. Payment was taken on 6th December and they have confirmed that their records are updated and that the appeal has been sent to the ECM to review. ECM has until 30th April to review the decision. Do you have your appeal ...

As I said earlier... they are facing some technical difficulties and apparently it could take anything between 2 to 7 weeks
