@ant06

Very happy to hear such good news. I was thinking that they will use Monday as an excuse and not issue any until Thursday/Friday.

Congratulations. Enjoy the life ahead!

Everyone else should hear real soon now.

Post by sraz » Tue Jul 10, 2012 12:11 pm

My application has been rejected today......Reason - My hus's mothers pension is being credicted into his bank account in uk and we havent provided proof for that, so they considered that he is using public fund..... But he is having a good salary and also own house there ........So they can surely see that he is able to (financially) support me in uk....then y this decision??? we ,my family all are totally depressed....he is crying...i cant bear this... Submitted on March 30, Cochin...
