Hi everyone, I want to share my experience here, my dad got his visa granted today. After 2nd attempt with the help of Maurse on this forum, I really appreciate it.Bamtexltd wrote:The ECO must be stupid, because he rang me and ask me that who is going to pay for flight ticket and I said myself not my daddy, but in the refusal letter he said my dad don't have a enough funds to pay for flight ticket, meanwhile everything was stated in the sponsorship letter and in the form. So I don't know why they're treating us like this.

Can anyone please tell me after how long we can reapply for parents (family visitor visa) once they refused??

Reason was that father is retired, has no source of income and they are not satisfied that they will leave the country at the end of their stay.

Jazak-Allah for this information and thankyou for being honest about some one the things eg - solicitor stuffPoppyuk wrote:Wa alaikum asalam. Well a friend of mine applied for uk visit visa a couple of years ago and got refused. He applied again in Jan 2015 I sponsored him as well. The first thing we did, was responding the reasons of refusal. If you don't have any document which they asked u then u will have to write the reason why u cann't provide those documents. If ur parents-in-law don't have the bank statement then u have to explain the reason why they don't have it. Secondly what is the source of their income? Normally u need documentation to prove anything. Like in my mother's case I wrote in the application she receives pension so She provided pension book copy, the money I send every month, I provided western union receipts. My mother got son and a daughter in pakistan ( nadra family registration card ) and property documents. Whatever u r saying in the application u need to provide documents to prove it. Now about solicitor they only gonna charge u they can't do anything. So if u wanna re apply just make sure u answer the refusal reasons properly in covering letter. Hopefully it will Work insha Allah and they will get the visa. Yeah forgot to tell u my friend got the visa within week.
