Standard 6 month Visitor Visa for sis in law who has been accepted previously in February 2023. But visa refused in February 2024. So we have re-applied. Not re-applying for her husband at this moment in time.
Country/Town of Application : Rabat, Morocco
Application submitted Online: 25/03/2024
Biometrics appointment: 28/03/2024
Applications transferred to UKVI and sent to DMC: 28/03/24
Email received saying it’s been refused: 08/04/24
I had to once again get parliament involved because I believed the refusal again was unjust and unfair (I had to do this last year too and then they reconsidered and granted her the visa)
Status Visa Granted: Email saying they’ve reconsidered and have granted her the visa: 09/05/24
