Hi My wife collected her passport and documents today, unfortunately visa was refused on the basis of cambridge website not having a record of the the Original Cambridge certificate which was submitted in my application. To add salt to the wound I checked the certificate on the Cambridge website and its clearly there.

This is getting beyond ridiculous not only its costing enormous amount of money but the stress levels are through the roof. These people are messing with peoples livelihood.

Please can someone advice best and quickest way to resolve this.

This is not a suprise to me the UKVI are dileberately doing this as they don't like the old system at all but DEFINITELY appeal get a letter from Cambridge English and the test centre and you should be good don't forget to include your confirmation of Entry.

Also anybody affected in the same way please let me know as I will be calling Cambridge English tomorrow as I can get in touch with their UKVI relations officer and tell her the situation as then it will help speed up our appeals

Salaam yes as u no i was also refused on the same above i called cambridge n got a letter emailed by them.confirming all this n today i have subimitted an appeal . Its really shocking n stressful wat issues they are takeing out please do talk to ukvi if you have contacts it would be helpful ..

If she received the letter in .pdf then that should be ok. But clearly you misread my friend, because nowhere has she mentioned anything about an attached letter in .pdf format.

She did not mention it but her saying she was emailed a letter doesn't necessarily mean the email body itself was the letter and by you saying no chance that it will get accepted instead of saying you need in on a proper letterhead document doesn't show positivity does it and you playing tit for tat with me will be a waste of everyone's time so let's end this at this

[Mrs.Fakhar]

@i.need.help i just wanted to know if that affects my application then i surely wont add them..simple..if i am adding will that cause any problem??
Jazak Allah for ur immense help and concern

Oww dear..even there was no cash going out from my bank account..so that was a big mistake by me..

Well, it's totally up to you. I've just never come across anyone ever who's sent the home owners financial information even if they're living rent free. I didn't send such documents either.

The ECO would need to be real dumb to confuse or mix your payslips with your brother's. That's the only issue I can think of.

Do whatever you feel comfortable with. If you want to send them, then go ahead.

@i.need.help
Jazak Allah for ur concern n help bro/sis
I went to a solicitor yesterday and asked her, she said thres no issue..so i just posted the docs...one thing more, i dont know if any one here noticed a slight change/mistake in Poscode that is given below the confirmation email for appointment of bio metrics and the one given in the Gov.uk website.
On gov.uk the Post code is S3 8NH
and in the email its
S3 8NU
i posted on the address thats given on website...had no other option :/
And a big big big thank you to all those who helped me

I didn't say she's got no chance, I said she'll be lucky IF UKVI accept the email as proof. Read what's there not what you think is written. I didn't start playing anything, so nothing to stop.

4.13 How much of your sponsor’s total monthly income is given to their family members and other dependents?
State how much of your sponsor’s monthly income is given to family members or other dependents.

what do they mean by this? as i am a little confused. does this mean money i spend in regards to my sons food, clothing and school transport ??

hope someone can clarify

No spend necessarily but how much do you give to people that need money from you to live such as rent money, petrol

still don't seem to get this. i have my rent and council tax paid in full, i don't really give anybody any money

would school pickups and drop offs could i count that in living expenses?

anyone have the answer please ?

Sorry to have to intervene
Read through the posts and whoever is saying that
Ukvi Would not accept an email from city and guilds needs a whack

If have personally helped someone myself who had issue with results and they only had an email from city and guilds clarifying everything which they then forwarded to their MP who then spoke to the home office and the decision was overturned within 2 weeks ....

The home office would contact city and guilds directly to resolve the matter if can be proven that there has been a error from the eco in verifying the results.

So that's that
Everyone's experience is different so don't start debating and if you have had a refusal due to results then better than ranting would be you try and get proof they are genuine and verifiable.

Thank you
Sorry if I have been rude as that's not my intention

Salaam brother,

Can I ask which local mp you contacted and which ward you are in as it will give my MP extra incentive to help me

It has taken unusually long in your case. I was confident that you would have heard back before my return to UK. Last couple of weeks have been busy getting doing sightseeing and autumn shopping with wife and child.

I hope that you get good news soon as you have gone out of your way to help others.

I hope stillwaiting also hears good news soon.
