salaamz everybody. well ive got the reasons for refusal with me

firstly i submitted phone cards which they believe do not show who or when calls were made .

secondly, they believe that our relationship is not genuine. when i first submitted my case in november 2008 and it got rejected i went back to pakistan and stayed just over a year, however they have not bothered to look at my passpost photocopy which clearly shows the entry and exits date. they believe that i have not spent any time with my hubby since 2008, when my passport clearly shows that i spent just over a year.

and thirdly they want to know what i was doing employment wise since 2008. (well i was working and then went to pakistan in oct 2008 and got married in nov 2008. applied for visa on 27th november 2008, came back to england on 16th january and on the 30th of january our case was rejected. so on the 19th of april 2009 i went back to pakistan to stay with my husband and came back on the 10th of may 2010. a month later i got a job and started getting papperwork ready for my hubby. AGAIN if they looked at my passport photocopies they would have seen that i was in pakistan form april 09 to may 2010. thats why i have no employent history

thats it. any advice????
also if i want the decision to be overturned do i still have to fill in the appeal forms that they gave to my husband????

Hi,

For the case to be reconsidered - Yes you will need to fill in the appeal forms they gave to your husband.

With you application how months wage slips did you submit ? And whats your salary like ?

If you have no employment history then it would be Very Very difficult to get a Visa for your husband because one of the requirments is that you need to show you are able to sustain your self and your husband when he arrives therefore without any savings or employement history your not able to do that.

If your current case was submitted without a minimum of 3 months wage slips, with a good salary then it would be unlikely that it will be overturn if you requested it to be reconsidered. Therefore just go to court with new documentation. Check your inbox!!!

before i got married i was working, however when our application was refused first time round i went back to pakistan to spend some time with my hubby. i also had savings in my bank form wen i was working. also from june 2010 i was working. so i sent 4 months wage slips with my application. i am saying that obviously i cannot provide employment history for the time i was in pakistan.

met partner in home town oct 2007, moved into my home dec 2009, he had overstayed his visa 4 years. He applied to home office in july 2010 a partner and this was refused (his lawyer said 99% chance) on reading into it realised not chance. he went back to pakistan within the time period at his own expense in october.I went to pakistan and married him in november. He would have not problem with vocal test but written test his lawyer said would be too hard for new english test as of 29th nov.had to come back for work and family reasons. submitted all documentation in LHR 25th november. 8th december being processed in ISL.house survey showing own home with a lot of equity and enough room for us. 6 mnths salary slips (over 40,000 per annum, Â£3,600 in my savings, Â£4,500 pounds in wedding gift attested and bank statement showing. letter from employers (public body) his 2008 divorce cert. i never married. application forms, declaration, hand written letters, photos of wedding and life in uk, phone bills, electricity bills. calls to pakkistan and vice versa. Confirmed job offer for him in uk. various other documentation. There is absolutely no problem with any of my documentation but of course he overstayed. have we a chance at all? All paperwork and submissions made with a gerry's solicitor.
