I would like know other peoples views on the above

Article 8: Right to privacy

(1) Everyone has the right for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.

(2) There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

I'm finding it hard to understand some of the ECO interpretations of this article The ECO in my wife's case also quoted this article saying i could still enjoy a family life even though we would live 7000 miles apart I can't see how anybody could enjoy family life when you are that far apart also they mentioned about sometimes being over drawn but they neglected to notice that i was always working within my over draft faclility and that the bank were happy plus i was able to live very well had good wages was not cliaming any benefits etc... had been sending 4 to 500 pounds a month to my wife?

Anyway i would be interested to know what other people think?

I'm confused your wife and her 3 children were granted entry but now you say they are back in the Philippines?

No my wife and her three children are all now here in the UK my wife since Feb 2008 and the children since July 2010.

I would just like to know people thoughts on the ECO reasons to deny visa applications and then quote article 8

The point the Home Office is making is that you don't have to be in the UK to enjoy the right to be together as in Article 8.
You can live in your spouses country or any other country and they are not denying that.There are always more than one way to look at something and the Home Office is saying you can be together in her country.
Of course they do not factor in your home, work, friends and family.
They are not known for empathy

Siamsteve, in one of you other threads this week you mentioned that your wife will be applying for ILR in April 2011. How is this, if she entered on a 2 year spouse visa in Feb 2008?
"my wife since Feb 2008"

Am i wrong or is this the next step we need to do after staying in the UK under the 2 year spouse visa we would apply for the indefinite leave to remain?
