Hi guys,
My wife applied for her dependant visa on 19th Feb 2010 and we got the result on 12th March as 'REFUSED'. It was a shocking news to us as immigration officer mentioned that I didn't have £1600.00 in my account while there should have been only £533.00 as I've been here since 2007 (more than 12 months).
Besides, even £1600 were there in my account but IO chose to ignore my flexi saver statement and decided based on my current statement that I didn't have enough funds to support her. He clearly wasn't paying enough attention to the application as he also mentioned that I've been in UK for less than 12 months.
Then we waited for about 2 weeks ( I still don't know why we did that, possibly getting over the shock) with almost the same statement just increasing it by one more month as March had passed so included Feb and Mar as well. This time I put in extra documentation like post-its everywhere mentioning what is what and all. (It all seemed ridiculous to me). Finally after 5 working weeks we got the result and it has been approved this time.
I just thought would share it all of you in case it might help someone in future. Thanks to this forum for immense help and support.
