Dear all, I hope someone can advise us in this tricky case. My elderly parents applied for a UK visit visa from bangladesh and we got refused. We used a very good immigration lawyer and the issue was not the lawyers fault. When my dad went to submit the docs at the VAC in Dhaka, the person behind the counter said not to submit certain documents such as the lawyers cover letter explaining that my dad is officially retired but works as a director in a travel agent, and will only make money once the company makes a profit. He also rejected the land registry document and said this was not necessary for the application. My father being elderly accepted all this and submitted the application without these key documents.
The lawyer kept writing to the eco to complain and to hold off processing the application as clearly it was incomplete after incorrect advice from the VAC officer in Dhaka. She wanted them to take the cover letter from her and the land registry doc. They didnt listen and processed the application and refused the visa for my parents.. I have attached the refusal letters.
I would like to ask what is the best thing we can do now to get my parents visa done asap? Reapply with the land registry doc and another cover letter explaining the work situation, or is there any way to appeal or complain?! Clearly we were not in the wrong here! The VAC Officer was also very rude to my parents and really should have had no say in what he is and isnt allowed to submit!! Clearly there are some serious issues here with the dhaka VSF office, but we just want to quickly get them a visa so they can visit me and need to know the best way out of this. Appreciate your help..
PS. i cannot attach the refusal letters because i get the message: Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.
