If this is the case (which UKVI wouldn't have known when said loss was reported) then what is there to appeal?Inazay wrote:Hello,
It's an unusual situation but my sister-in-law lost her passport containing her UK settlement visa after she was granted it. My brother had been spending time with her and the extended family prior to traveling back to the UK together. In the interim, her passport was lost. We were advised by UKVI call centre that it was a formality to get the replacement and that the loss needed to be proven with a police report. All this was provided with the original documents given the first time and now they have rejected it because a) my brother is not present in the UK and b) he doesn't intend to settle with his wife permanently in the UK.
Does anyone have any advice on what can be done to address this issue rather than going through the whole appeals process? Especially as the visa was granted anyway and their own guidance (ECB 17.2) also states a fresh application doesn't need to be made.
Help please!!
a) my brother is not present in the UK and b) he doesn't intend to settle with his wife permanently in the UK
ECOs can, but rarely do, ignore guidelines (the clue is in the name). But more to the point, experience on these forums has shown that advice from the Home Office/UKBA call centres is not worth "a bucket of warm spit" (a quote attributed to John Nance Garner, US Vice-President).Inazay wrote:We were advised by UKVI call centre
This is surely still the sticking point - why is wife going to 'settle' in UK if husband is notInazay wrote:What are the chances of getting an ECM to review and overturn the decision if we send documents proving the circumstances?

Helping clear the UK budget deficit by part-funding the Home Office, I guess.Inazay wrote:What's the point in paying £1.37/minute if they don't know what they're talking about?
Neither of these seem to be grounds for refusing the application. Did your brother provide proof of a subsisting marital relationship with his second application?Inazay wrote: a) my brother is not present in the UK and b) he doesn't intend to settle with his wife permanently in the UK.
