Thanks for your replies, I will let you know exactly what they said, as soon as I get the paper.batleykhan wrote:I agree with this. Untill such time we know the exact wording of the refusal,its difficult to comment.Hi Mohammed,
I dont entirely agree that your refusal was only because of the phone cards. There must be some other reason behind the refusal. So once you get the refusal please let us know what the exact refusal was.
I have sneaky feeling that Refusal notice will probally say that they have doubt whether this marriage is subsistence because the applicant has failed to provide proof of contact with each other since the marriage.
Whilst it can be argued that yes there was conatct (phone cards)but this is no proof.
My advice to those who have got married and then returned to UK to do a number of things:
1. Keep in contact with each other by phone(provide phone bills to prove it).
2. Use email if you have internet.
3. if you cant do 2 then write letters to each other saying how you miss each other, want to be together etc.
4.All men should send about £100 every couple of months to their wifes back in Pakistan so they can buy thins for themselves. WHATEVER YOU DO, DONT GIVE IT TO FRIENDS GOING TO PAK TO PASS IT ON TO WIFE. SEND IT VIA THESE MONEY TRANSFER AND GET RECIPT FOR IT
This is good proof that you love and care for your spouse and all this will help the application.
As whether the above should appeal or reapply, it will all depend on reason for refusal. If it is above then I would appeal evenb though it may take 6-8 months.
Lets wait and see what the wording of the refusal is ( please give exact wording rather than what you or your wife thinks)
Thanks again
Mohammed
