Hi everyone,
My dad's standard visitor visa has been refused recently for the reasons mentioned below. He is now about to submit a new visa application soon but struggling to understand few concerns ECO had in his last visa refusal.
I am aware that you were previously refused entry clearance on 08/02/2017 under visa application number Abu Dhabi. I have considered your previous application in addition to the documents and information you have submitted in this, your current, application and in assessing your application in its entirety, I am not satisfied that you have met the Immigration Rules on this occasion.
I recognise that family visits are important. I must consider the information regarding your sponsor’s support of your visit separately in my assessment of your application. To consider whether or not I am satisfied that your intentions are as stated and that you meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules I must assess your own personal and financial circumstances.
You state that you are retired and supported by family remaining in your home country. Whilst you have provided a copy of your son’s bank statement I note that this statement does not demonstrate an income into this account. It is also unclear how many family members your son is currently supporting or his own personal circumstances. Whilst you have also provided a bank statement in your name it is unclear as to where the funds this account have originated from and how many people you are supporting from this account.
I have considered the documents and information submitted in your application; and on the balance of probabilities I am not satisfied that you have accurately presented your circumstances or intentions in wishing to enter the United Kingdom. This undermines the credibility of your application to the extent that I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor or intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit. Paragraph V 4.2 (a) (c) of the Immigration Rules.
The first objection is very confusing as it is not specific. As it says, my dad's first visitor visa was refused in 2017 for not providing sufficient documents regarding his self employment. However, my dad is retired now and this is not a tie to his home country anymore and he has stated this in his recent application, so it's irrelevant anymore. Therefore, I don't understand what ECO means in the first point about my dad's previous application and how has this concerned him this time?
In the second point, he talks about my dad's sponsor who is his daughter-in-law and my wife. From above it is very unclear what is the issue about it, he did not state any specific concern about the sponsor. So what could it mean?
In the third point, he mentions all concerns very clearly and specifically. Therefore, they can be easily dealt with.
Fourth point, again, a very confusing statement. He clearly mentioned his intentions to visit UK is to see his family in UK and newly born grand child so what could it mean by 'not accurately presented circumstances or intentions in wishing to enter the UK'.
Any help, guidance and advise from you guys would be greatly appreciated and will be hugely useful in his new visa application.
Thanks in advance.
