Hi
we applied for spouse visa 26/03/14 and was refused 07/05/14 on the basis the ECO isn't satisfied my husband passed a approved English exam.
He sat the Cambridge KET A1 test on 22/02/14 and scored 79/100 so passed at A2 level.
on the application form q86... we gave husbands log in details to verify the result and also included a screenshot to show he passed it does state on there guidance all tests taken after 06/04/14 there are no documents required and results must be verified using name dob and passport number, OF COURSE THEY HAD THOSE DETAILS.
we satisfied all other requirements.
surely under immigration rule FM SE we should have been contacted if they wanted more clarity?
Appeals can take months and months and I have a 5 month old baby. Has anyone else been overturned by MP intervention or by raising formal complaint?
my MP supported the application and we submitted her letter with the application, I have been in touch since refusal and she has asked for explanation as to why they refused etc. She advises can take 20 working days for answer and even then im unsure what they would do? iv raised formal complaint to Croydon and sent recorded delivery to ECM Istanbul 10 days ago and also appealed 3 days ago.
anyone have any advice any timescales? as u can imagine im losing my mind and cant believe we was refused on this reason giving that he passed with merit on a exam they suggest.
