"Here is my new case" .... What complicated is my life here
I thank in advance to everybody who can advice me in this issue.
I have already one year as student in the UK. I moved from Spain last year, therefore I didn't apply for my Son as dependant yet. Now when I have stability (scholarship, part-time job, living by my self) I try to bring my son with me here.
My son is 7 years old, I have the legal custody since he was 2 years old and his mum abandoned him completely. I applied for him and my mother last Christmas in Colombia (so we are Colombians) to spend vacation. They were refused due to lack of incomes from my mum, therefore my son was also refused. In that refusal the embassy misspelled "grandmother" as "mother", referring my mother as the mother of my son.
After that I have applied 3 more times but the last two only for my son as "Child student dependant" Tier 4. Previous to the last application, the embassy argued I had mistake in the form, therefore refused. I had to apply again and pay again of course. However, the last application has been refused again.
The last refusal cites the 319H paragraph of immigration rules. The embassy acknowledge that my son meets all requirements to have visa except the sub-paragraph f.). This one says that a child can have student dependant visa if both parents are authorized to live in the UK, or the sponsoring parent is the sole legal guardian or there are compelling reason to bring the child into the UK.
The embassy in Colombia states that in 2008 my son applied with his mother to visit me and therefore I am contradicting the statement that his mother abandoned him and I am the sole legal guardian.
As you can see, the embassy refused my son based on their mistake of saying in 2008 that my mother (who applied with him in 2008) is his mother. Furthermore, I consider the officer negligent since the application contains the same documents, including form, certificates of birth and verdict of his custody. Consequently, there are at least three documents specifying the name and identification of my son's biological mother (who is not my mum of course).
???????????????????????? What should I do now ?????????????????????????
I have spent US$exp^n to much money in this process and I have been finding and losing vacancies of schools for my son. Furthermore, he is all times expectant to come with my since I am his only parent. Evidently, I have no problems with money to support him, appropriate house and job. But I don't find objective reasons for my son to be refused or to apply again and correct the application. I have though to appeal but it takes about 8 moths and I don't know which are the chances to solve the problem in this way. I cannot apply in other country since I don't have job in Spain to bring him there first. I have requested an "Administrative review" of my last application but I don't know how to speed up this process.
I have gotten a PhD scholarship for 4 years and indefinite contract in a company, so my future is here. Therefore, my son should be here instead of being with his grandmother.
Kind regards and thanks a lot!!
