Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[newbie227]

Hi everyone not posted for a while but I am surprised a lot of you think that ECO are good at their jobs they don't always get it right and I have always said when you make an application look at it and think in the way what can they refuse it on not have I got everything read back pages on here as to what they are refused on. Best thing is to write everything you send tick box it but remember you can have everything and they still come back with a stupid reason some of you may remember mine was I had not provided proof of my step dad status in the Uk never expected that but appeal is in now has been since 24/6/15 sent them his certificate and his picture getting his cert.

Weren't you also refused on the basis of your relationship? How did you tackle that in your appeal?

R u on appeal??? What's your deadline??

[shfh7815]

Just out of interest, those people who were refused due to not supplying correct paperwork work, eventhough they did....what was the eco initials.... I should say at the end of the refusal letter....mines were GD

Mine were also GD.

I have received a reply today..it's just a useless automated email stating the appeal procedure. I also wrote a letter of complaint to the home office last night but they state it can take up to 20 working days to receive a response.

I feel very confused about what to do next and feel there may be no other option but to apply again. Hopefully now with the changes (docs going to Sheffield) this will ensure a more reliable service.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same incompetent eco who has rejected other people's application for not supplying documents even tho u have.... It's best to appeal as it will go to a tribunal... Applying again u risk being rejected over some other issue...

You can do or you can continue to be patient and wait. Better to do it after 8 weeks, not sooner.

Thank you dear for ur patience and guidance, really appreciate this

i want to reapply as soon as possible, i have following situations at the moment

1) using financial year feb2014 to jan2015 i don draw salary as a director so i calculated dividend during this period is £2900
and my payslips during this period from my security job is 15800 so total is £ 18700 can i reapply with this situation in sept2015??

2) With situation 1) above i worked domino from setp2013 till august 2014 can i use domino salary slips toward my earning? from feb 2014 till august 2015

3) my next financial year will be ended jan 2016 can i file early tax return in august 2015? i have enough dividend plus security wage slips to exceed £18600

sorry to bother you again and gain but will be thankful to u

Your questions are not bothering me. I’m glad to be able to provide my opinion. I wouldn’t however say it is guidance, as I am in no way an expert.

I’m sad to say that your situation is causing me concern. You are also not supplying sufficient detail to enable me to help you effectively. I cannot ascertain where you were employed through your company and when you were employed directly.

Firstly, you have to be very clear with regards to how you were employed. You mention two jobs: one with Dominos and the other doing some form of security. Did they pay you or did you invoice them through your limited company? If your limited company did the invoicing, which then deducted the tax and NI before paying you a monthly wage then you can use this in your Feb 2014 to Jan 2014 financial year. If they paid you as an employee then other rules apply that I am not familiar with.

Making an application using your own a limited company is not easy. It was a nightmare for me to get the necessary documentation together. Have you gone through the appendix I referred to in my previous post to confirm you can provide all the required documentation? Please answer.

I’m guessing that you cannot use your Feb 2014 to Jan 2014 financial year, as you were not paid through your company as a director and the dividend you received does not on its own help you meet the minimum requirement.

Regarding the Feb 2015 to Jan 2016 financial year, I don’t think you can bring this forward to close this off early.

Sticking with the Feb 2015 to Jan 2016, am I right in saying that your company is paid for the security work you are doing? If so then are you extracting a monthly salary? Is your company deducting your NI and PAYE? Can the £7000 dividend you paid be brought exclusively into this financial year?

If the answer to all the questions in the above paragraph are yes then I suggest that you wait until your accounts are ready for the Feb 2015 to Jan 2016 financial year and then apply.

I’m so very sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for. I would therefore suggest you seek another opinion. Maybe I have missed something that could enable you to apply now. Perhaps someone else on this forum could help.

Thank you for all ur support
