Hi all,
Long story short, a couple of years ago I married the Chinese love of my life. She spent 2 years learning enough English for the IELTs exam, and passed in December last year. After a lot of messing about, we got all the paperwork in for the visa application, which was submitted in early April 2019.
I am a director of a small Ltd. Company, so we provided the most recent accounts for my company, which was the financial year ending in Jan 2018. Accounts for the year Feb '18 to Jan '19 aren't due until later this year, but my accountant persuaded me to file them early. The accounts were lodged with Companies House on June 12th 2019.
On June 15th 2019, UKVI refused the visa on the grounds that the accounts documents I sent "aren't the most recent". The decision letter arrived today (1st July). Everything else is OK.
I'm cursing making such an amateur error. Every bloody time I think "They can't be that stupid", they prove me wrong.
My main question is: If I put together another block of financial data, for the most recent accounts (i.e. bank statements corp & private, accounts, dividend voucher, P60, etcetera., will the appeal likely be successful? It's now over 6 months since her IELTs result, would she need to re-do that for an appeal? Can I send the documentation direct to UKVI from the UK, or does it have to come through China?
Any reassurance would be very gratefully received, if any can be given.... This is a terrible disappointment, as you can imagine.
Cheers!
Ade.
