Hello,
I had applied for my parent's UK visit visa in April, but it was refused. I understand there is no cooling off time limit around re-applying but given below situation, can someone please advise when is the good time to re-apply and how to best address the refusal points raised. I had provided all the necessary documents related to showing strong ties back home.
"I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the
requirements of paragraph 4.2 of Appendix V: Visitor because:
• You have applied for a visa to travel to the UK for 5 months 3 days. The onus is on
you, the applicant, to show that you meet the requirements of the immigration rules
based on your overall personal circumstances and that you will comply with all the
conditions associated with any visa. In order to come to my decision, I have
considered all of the documents you have provided regarding your circumstances.
• I note you state in your application you will be travelling with your spouse. The
information provided in support of your application does not show what family you will
have in your country of residence should yourself and your spouse travel to the UK.
The documents you have provided also do not demonstrate you hold any assets or
property in your country of residence.
• You have also stated that you are mainly dependent on money given to you by family
members living in the UK for the purpose of your visit to the UK. In support of this you
have submitted bank statements belonging to family members in the UK. The
documents you have submitted indicate that you have immediate and extended
family in the United Kingdom. As noted above, the information provided in support of
your application does not establish what family you have remaining in your country of
residence.
• I am therefore satisfied that your ties to the UK outweigh those you have in your
country of residence, and on the balance of probabilities I am not satisfied that you
have demonstrated that you have ties to your home country which would encourage
you to leave should you be granted entry to the UK.
• I am therefore not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor and that
you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit. Your application is therefore
refused under paragraph V 4.2 (a) and (c)."
Even for mother, I felt the reasons are not satisfactory.
"• You have applied for a visa to travel to the UK for 5 months 3 days. The onus is on
you, the applicant, to show that you meet the requirements of the immigration rules
based on your overall personal circumstances and that you will comply with all the
conditions associated with any visa. In order to come to my decision, I have
considered all of the documents you have provided regarding your circumstances.
• You have stated that you are unemployed and have declared no personal income.
The information provided in support of your application does not demonstrate the
income or finances of any close family members in your country of residence who
may be supporting you financially. You have submitted what looks to be joint bank
statements displaying your details for an account ending XXXX. However, given these
look to be joint statements it is unclear whether any of these transactions relate to
your own personal circumstances.
• The information provided in support of your application therefore does not establish
your financial circumstances to be as declared or establish how you are supported in
your country of residence.
• I am therefore not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor and that
you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit. Your application is therefore
refused under paragraph V 4.2 (a) and (c)."
Thanks.
