Hi Fortcharlotte,
I have also had trouble in getting my husband a family visa, but it was New Delhi BHC that refused the visa. When we submitted the first visa we just submitted evidence of me being a British Citizen our mariage certificate my bank details pay slips etc and my husband did the same and included his lease he has on a restaurant, plus airline tickets. This is all that is reccommended on the website. This was refused as they also didnt beleive he was going to return back to India, even though he has a business, they also stated that we failed to submitted evidence of our relationship etc, If these had of been reccommended on the website we would have submitted these. After getting the refusal letter i contacted the appeals department in the UK for some advice about what to sumit. So we submitted, extra evidence, such as a letter from my boss, about 50 pictures, letter from my sister to say she knows my husband, e-amils since 2007, stamps in my passport, more information regarding the business, also a copy of divorce paperwork saying he has sole responsiblity for his children. They questioned why we did not apply for a settlement visa, which we explained in a letter. Basically i do not have anymore paperwork to give them, but the BHC did not over turn their decision. The paperwork has now gone to England, but the paperwork has been lost. Ive decided to just scrap the idea of going through an appeal, am going to get back my photgraphs and start again with a serttlement visa. I do not know how their minds work when looking at the paperwork.
If the reson for refusing a visa is they dont beleive they will be returning back to their home town, then a settlement visa will solve this, hopefully, you can give them a thousand pieces of evidence if they dont beleive you, they never will..
