General Visa Refusal (2 times)

[gmaster81]

I had my visa application refused for the second time in two months. I applied for a General Visit Visa. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to appeal the decision of the Entry Clearance Officer. And I am also wondering how long it takes for the outcome of that appeal as my flight is in 30 days.

Thanks.

Country Applied From: Australia
Australian Visa Status: Permanent Resident
Passport: Bangladesh

Thank you for your reply.

Here's a scan of my refusal letter http://www.zumodrive.com/file/download/ ... revision=2

Despite sending them airline+hotel+payslips+bank statements and even the national ID card scan of my gf and also her itinerary, I have been refused. It's amazing!!!

And the Entry Clearance Officer is plain wrong. I have Indefinite leave to remain (ILR) to remain in Australia as Permanent Resident and but he says I have limited leave to remain in Australia. I wonder how can these third class Clearance Officers with limited knowledge are employed using the hard earned UK taxpayers' money.

I think you should appeal, and clearly point out what aspects were wrong and what was missed in the refusal decision, how long it takes depends on case to case. We did an appeal for a refusal of a family friend to visit and it took 3 weeks to get the decision, they agreed with our appeal and thought the refusal was wrong.
