Hi all.

Got the message today. Exactly 3 months since submission and it was BAD news. They had put 2 objections on the application. The first being the English language. My wife has a BSC (hons) in finance taught in English, which was not good enough for the MONKYS. and secondly living in a detached 4 bedroom house sharing with parents was seen as not being sufficient enough room. I mean that's crazy!!!!!!

Anyway we have got her onto an ilets course hopefully she can complete this in good time as her English is already excellent. With regards to the property, would transferring the deeds to the house be enough to cover this objection?

regards

detached 4 bedroom house sharing with parents was seen as not being sufficient enough room. I mean that's crazy!!!!!!

How many people in total did you say currently live in the property?

Did you provide an accomodation report showing there is enough space in the house?

Sorry to hear about the bad news.

[jut2nv]

im an only child, so its my mum and dad plus me at the moment, with the addition of my wife....

we have 2 bathrooms both with bath and shower facilities on 1st floor. we have a Spam living room dinning room and study and an additional toilet downstairs. I mean the officer on this case must be a complete retard to think this is not sufficient room....

My next move will be have the deeds transferred to my name and kick my parents into a retirement home lol.....

We provided them with the deeds of the house as well as a full report outlining these facts.....

Would it be wise to also add the blue prints with exact measurements and photos of the house?

[Shazia80]

That is seriously ridiculous!

You know my conclusion is that I don't think these people do even bother to read all documents and information people provide with applications?

And it could be just the slightest of shortfall that they may pick up on.. it's utterly ignorant of them to do this!

I am so gutted for you, how can they define 4 bedrooms as Not sufficient space? It just doesn't add up!

Good Luck with appealing. I hope you can collate a well structured appeal file where you can smack it in their faces!

If you are married for 4 years and living together, make sure you mention that you want Indefinite leave to Enter (ILE) stamped in your passport !!!!

DID YOU GIVE A ACCOMADTION REPORT?

[saminkhan]

Hi all

My sister is going to apply for her husband's visa in the next few days. I have some questions:

She is getting child benefit, around £80 for her child which she is getting for the last few years despite trying to stop by calling HMRC. Do we need to mention this in the application form where it asks about receipts of any benefits. Does receipt of these funds can have any impact on her husband's application.

She is not dependant on this £80 as she is earning quite a good salary.

Secondly, i have read the posts on third party maintenance and support and I am also adding my name to the application as joint sponsor just to give some extra weight. Using the new 'income support comparison', with my current salary, i can support my own family and hers as well easily. Is that going to have any impact on the strenght of his application. His husband works as self employed but doesnt have good records of his income therefore i thought adding my name as joint sponsor might help.

Thanks

Accomadtion report is a report on the size of your house
it gives them the measure ment of each room visit a convaycer solicitor and they will make it for you and certify it for you.

salaam to all

i applied for my husbands uk spouse visa on the 06may 2011 and sadly its been refused we recived the documents yesterday, the refusal document is that they believe our marriage is not registered according the pakistani authourity. im really upset because it is registered it even had a blood stamp that clearly stated its registered.
i was wondering if anyone can help me as the homeoffice havent returned our original urdu nikah nama back, is this normal?

Also can anyone help me template this letter that il need from the union counsil in pk to state that our marriage is registerd with them.

Can some one please get back to me asap.

its really annoying me as im pregnant with twins and have complications in my pregnancy and that the embassy had no deciency or piece of heart to give my hubby this visa when i really need him here. im really upset because im finding it hard allready and when the babies will be born with abnormalities im going to be heartbroken dealing with it here all alone.
i hope some one can help me i need a template for the union counsil letter thanks everybody for taking time out to read me sad story

We did not have a surveyor report attached. I will look into getting this perhaps from an estate agents or from the local authority. Will this be sufficient.

The solicitor i spoke is also surprised with this objection and believes the jobs worth obviously is unable to understand basic English as the deeds clearly state how big the house is and how many rooms there are. Perhaps the BHC should invest in teaching there staff how to read........

Baahhh I'm still ragging,

Your sister is allowed to claim child benefits. It has no impact on application.

further down you state that you will be acting as co-sponsor of your sister, but you say she earns a good salary......therefore why would you want to co-sponsor her for.

There is no such thing as co-sponsor in spouse application. You sister must sponsor her husband herself. You can add weight to her application by supporting her application with financially and accommodation wise.

What your sisters husband earns or not in Pakistan is irrelevant to the application. All boils down to your sister ( and you) on how you are going to support,maintain and accommodate him without recourse to public funds. That is what is important.

Hi

I was wondering what kind of a job does a person need to have in order to apply for a spouse visa? Currently, I am working 20 hours (minimum wage) and have been told its not enough..

Everyone on the board seems to just say they sent off 4-6 months pay slips and that is satisfactory but what hours does the job need to have?

40 hrs on minimum wage or more than 1200 GBP per months will be good just good, if you get more thats better

[kmamood]

INCORRECT

Full time employment in UK is considered to be 35 hours per week

35 x £6.08 = £212 per week x 4 =£852 per month.

Out of of teh £212 per week,once you have paid any mortgage/rent/council tax ( that is if you pay these because you live by yourself) you will need a minimum of £105 for a couple to live on per week.

If you live with your parents and you don't pay these or any bills, then the above wage slip should be enough for you.

As an alternative if you have well to do parents who are working etc and can support you financially and are willing to provide third party support ti your application, then this would be acceptable.

But if you work 20 hrs per week on minimum wage, I am afraid that would be not enough

[z85]

I dont have to pay any mortgage or bills because I live with my parents. And minimum wage is £5.93 isnt it?

Does it have to be well-to-do parents? What about one working parent? I heard 3rd party support does not really work because in this way, many people could have visas granted if there were people out there willing to lend a hand financially..

So, its the fact that it needs to be full time employment or the money issue?

p.s. thanks batleykhan for the correct information

[batleykhan]

The minimum wage will probably be the amount that I quoted by the time you hand in your application ( 01/10/11)

Does it have to be well-to-do parents? What about one working parent? I heard 3rd party support does not really work because in this way, many people could have visas granted if there were people out there willing to lend a hand financially..

No one parent who is working will do if he/she has a decent salary of say over £25k per year. 3rd party is not allowed where the sponsor does not work at all and is wholly reliant on her family.

So, its the fact that it needs to be full time employment or the money issue?

Full time job of 35hrs and above will improve chances further , Savings of £2- 3k will do nicely to show that you will be able to support and maintain your hubby. Living with parents is allowed and acceptable as well( even though you may contribute nothing to them)
p.s. thanks batleykhan for the correct information

[z85]

OK so the 3rd party support is very unlikely for lots of ppl, including myself. (dont have rich parents). And I have enough savings (£2k). I guess all that is left is finding a job with more hours.

Yes it would help a lot
