Appreciate your help, I completely agree with you, We messed it up due to lack of knowledge of what we were doing, should have gone for some expert advice at the start, lesson learned. I don't see any other chance but to leave UK for now and wait till my EEA wife secures a Job and then reapply with solid documentation. Can you confirm if I can reapply for a new EEA family permit / Residence card or will me and my EEA wife be blacklisted or something...? We are also going to try the Irish route which we believe we have more good chance.noajthan wrote:You have clearly failed to convince HO (cw) of your wife's status as a qualified person.
It's rather unclear why your Irish citizen wife couldn't open a UK bank account.
My non-EEA wife opened a UK bank account without a NINO.
The requirements are well-publicised & very clear. Lack of CSI is an instant fail for the 'self-sufficient' category of qualified person.
HO play hard ball so simply having a bit of money in a bank account doesn't prove much.
Your economic activity is largely immaterial (in immigration terms) & the fact it (I.T.) can be done from almost anywhere does not help your case to stay in UK.
Selling small stuff online doesn't help & does not make a qualified person.
Brother in law cannot really help your claim & case to be in UK.
You could go to Ireland and be sponsored as an extended family member there but that is a more difficult and convoluted route with its own challenges, (compared to being someone's direct family member).
Here is HO guidance to help you get in the mind of a caseworker & understand what they look for & how they assess any such application:

Here is the process you are being subjected to;
this HO guidance may help you understand what is being done to you

- it may give insights on your options, based on any remaining rights you have.
One of the best things your spouse/sponsor can do is get a rock-solid job so that her status is indisputable.
In the circumstances you will need unimpeachable documentary supporting evidence to back up your case.
My understanding is your application (made under EU rules) cannot be refused if you meet the requirements next time.nick001 wrote:Appreciate your help, I completely agree with you, We messed it up due to lack of knowledge of what we were doing, should have gone for some expert advice at the start, lesson learned.

Once again thank you so much for taking your time to post your opinion, you support is invaluable. I will keep my progress updated here so at least somebody will find it useful.
Thank you everybody for your help, i know its a bit late but at least i understand why my application was refused. I voluntarily left UK last month, the authorities handed over my passport at the airport and I came back to India, I am currently in process of applying visa to join my wife in Ireland.noajthan wrote:My understanding is your application (made under EU rules) cannot be refused if you meet the requirements next time.nick001 wrote:Appreciate your help, I completely agree with you, We messed it up due to lack of knowledge of what we were doing, should have gone for some expert advice at the start, lesson learned.

That is except on the most serious grounds of public health or security - which, hopefully, does not apply here.
There will obviously be a growing & continuing papertrail on you, I cannot say if that amounts to being on some sort of blacklist.
If you want to take a look at what is on file (& can be released to you) just request a SAR from UKVI.
Good luck.
this sounds wrong.How long did you have to leave the country. I am in a similar situation. I have the right to appeal thou but they still want me out while i wait. How long did they give you? Did you have to pay for your tickets? Thank you.
