Whereas nothing much was asked in the interview I was in india for nearly 2 months we visited different places together did gave them the proof. We had marriage certificate wedding photos and previous photos attached utility bills etc. I gave calling cards they said it doesn't proof that you use to call him as well as watsapp chat which I copy pasted but you cant get a professional printout of wats app can you. They need more proof of our relationship. I am so pissed on interview they didn't asked him anything. We talk on Skype who will call india directly withou call cards its bloody expensive. We talk for atleat 4 hours a day after my work its not possible for me to call india directly. I knew they would object on this ground because all other requirements were met. Cant wait to see my other half in Christmas holidays probably will go to india. I applied for my mums visa so she could come and stay with me I feel so depressed she has been to uk before so hopefully she will get the visa. Any suggestions most welcome whats the next step. Thanks
I am very sorry to hear about this Pari. I know what it feels, as I am already undergoing the same pain. We are the victims of home office's bad decision on genuine cases.
I referred the documents guide
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... lement.pdf and filled my application. Page 3 of this document shows:
Information about your sponsor in the UK
If you are completing Appendix 2 then you will need to demonstrate that you meet the ‘Financial Requirement’.
You need to read the Immigration Rules at Appendix FM-SE to see which documents you are required to submit.
If you
do not need to meet the ‘Financial Requirement’ then you may wish to provide some of the following documents to
help to show your sponsors circumstances in the UK.
This is clear that, if we don't meet financial evidence in appendix 2, then we need to provide additional evidence about the sponsor, such as:
birth certificate or adoption certificate
marriage certificate or civil partnership certificate
death or divorce certificate
photographs of your wedding, civil partnership ceremony or other time spent
together
phone records
emails, letters or cards
Also in the immigration rules (FM SE) that suggests the family member specified evidence is talking only about the marriage or civil partnership certificate (page 24), and other financial requirements certificate. It doesn't say anything about evidences such as photographs, emails, chat/call history etc. The document is available at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _FM_SE.pdf
Does that mean, home office is rejecting more cases on the grounds of evidences which are not explicitly mentioned in their guidance. Also, note that VFS is checking the application and cross checks the document, and they are happy before posting it to the home office.
The decison making authority is the first secretary of state, and is headed by George Osborne MP (
http://www.parliament.uk/biographies/co ... borne/1458). Shall we all write to him about this? Any thoughts?
