I submitted my application as a PBS dependent on 17/05/10 and received response today i.e 17/06/2010. I was refused my visa application - the decision was given as:
In my application I have provided my husband Barclays Bank statement from 15/12/2009 to 05/05/2010 and not from 13/02/2010 to 05/05/2010 as stated in the refusal – covering a period of 4 months and 5 days. The bank statements provided were 4 in all, with break up dates given below:As laid out in appendix E of the Immigration Rules, you must show that your sponsor has available £ 533 in available funds (per dependant applying). These funds must be held in account for three consecutive mnonths with a final statement date no more than one month from the date of application. You application was made 17/05/2010 and you have submitted Barclays bank statements dating 13/02/2010 to 05/05/2010. Therefore I am satisfied that the funds have been held in account for less than three consecutive months. I am therefore not satisfied that there is a sufficient level of funds available to you as set out in Appendix E 319 C (g)
I have therefore refused your application because I am not satisfied on the balance of probabilities that you meet all of the requirements of the above paragraph(s) of the Immigration Rules
1. From 15/12/2009 to 12/02/2010
2. From 13/02/2010 to 12/03/2010
3. From 13/03/2010 to 14/04/2010
4. From 13/04/2010 to 05/05/2010
My refusal states that the account statements have been provided from 13/02/2010 to 05/05/2010; hence not fulfilling the criteria of providing a bank statement covering 3 consecutive months which has not been the case.
I don't understand why they have refused my application. Did they make a mistake? because the reason stated is that bank statement covering 3 mths has not been provided - although i have fulfilled that requirement.
Can some one help me with the following queries:
1. Should i opt for an administrative review?
2. Should i go for an appeal or should i simply file for a new visa application?
3. What are the approximate time lines for each?
Your help would be highly appreciated.
