Hello desmortess,

I applied on 26th Feb 2013 in bangalore and the status is "Visa application is under process at the British High Commission" is the same since the day 1.

What I heard from VFS is UKBA take minimum of 64 working days, no idea why the hell they take so many days.

I am new to this forum, my husband holds ILR in UK. My spouse visa also got rejected, filed an appeal in August 2012.

First my hearing date was 26 March 2013, but due to other cases going on so long, it got shifted to 15th April, I have never read shifting of hearing date, does this happened with anybody else, please let me know, we are in so much trouble....

Hi

We have recently been refused a fiancé visa on the grounds the ECO doesn’t believe we are not in a genuine relationship. A bit of back ground my fiancé is an overstayer who I met in the UK, we spent 8 months together before making the decision that he would return (at his own expense) to India to make an application.

'lack of personal contact and lack of evidence of regular correspondence between you. I am not satisfied that you have genuinely formed a relationship, that you have been in regular contact and that you relationship is subsisting and durable with genuine outward signs of affection and companionship'



Application Submitted October 2012
Refusal January 2013
Appeal Submitted March 2013
