Hi all,
My mother in law's visit visa application was refused and the reasoning appears to be based solely on a lack of sponsorship evidence which they claim was not provided. But the issue is everything they reference was in fact submitted. My invitation letter (which they also seem to suggest was not provided) specifically stated she will be accommodated in our home and all expenses will be covered (on an income of of £100,000+/year and £45,000+ in cash savings). 6 months of bank statements, the corresponding payslips, employment contract and our property title were submitted as sponsorship evidence, and I stated these were being provided in the invitation letter too.
None of these documents are referenced or acknowledged. The are all clearly shown listed in the VFS Appointment Confirmation letter under Document Upload Details in the Sponsor Evidence category, which is automatically generated when items are uploaded, so it cannot be that I made a mistake and missed all this out.
Is there any approach I can take to challenge this as it appears to me that there is something obviously very wrong with this decision.
Refusal reasons below.
Thank you!
REASONS FOR REFUSAL
You have applied for a visa to visit the UK.
In deciding whether you meet the requirements of Appendix V: Visitor of the Immigration
Rules (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration ... -v-visitor),
I have considered:
• your application and any additional relevant information you have provided with it
• your immigration history
The decision
I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the
requirements of paragraphs V4.2 – V4.6 of Appendix V because:
You have applied for a standard 6 month for a 1 month visit to see your daughter, and son in
law. You state that your son in law intends to sponsor your trip at a cost of (£2,000.00 GBP).
In assessing any application I look carefully at an applicant’s employment, personal, and
financial circumstances. Family, and social ties, are similarly taken into consideration. The
emphasis is on the applicant to demonstrate that they will meet, and adhere to the UK’s
Immigration Rules. This is based on all information, and documentation applicants provide at
the time of application.
Your trip is to be sponsored by your UK based son in law, at a cost of (£2,000.00 GBP).
However, I note that you have not supplied any information or documentation in support of
this claim.
It is important that you can evidence that sponsorship funds will be readily available to you
for the duration of your visit. Additionally, you need to show that sponsorship fund are
sufficient to support you safely throughout your visit. You have not demonstrated this to my
satisfaction
It is also important that your sponsor provides an invitation letter in support of your visa
application. It is important that the letter details, access to funds, accommodation details,
and other relevant information. You have not provided adequate support details in this
instance.
Given the lack of clear sponsorship information I am satisfied that your application is
incomplete, and that your circumstances are not as stated. You have not proven that your
sponsor has the necessary means to support you, and cover all reasonable expenses.
This leads me to doubt your intentions in travelling to the UK at this time. I am not satisfied
that you are genuinely seeking entry for a purpose that is permitted under the visitor rules
and that you will leave the UK at the end of your visit. Your application is therefore refused
under paragraph V 4.2 (a) and (c) and V4.3 (c) of the Immigration Rules.
