Irrelevant. You are still a sponsor and whether you are British born sponsor or British by descent sponsor, makes absolutely no difference.virus10 wrote: ...'british by desent..', well Im British by birth, as stated clearly in the application.
First of all, as was pointed out to you in the previous post, if his marriage to EU national, which constituted conditions of his admission to the UK, ceased to subsist within the period of his visa, he had no right to remain in the UK in that category. This equally means overstaying. I don't know on which grounds he was given an extension for further 6 months - you never mentioned it before, so it is diffucult to speculate.Also they said they believe he overstayed years ago when he had a 2 year working visa then a 6 month extension.
You have the right to complain and can bring your concerns to the ECM or write to the UKVisas headquarters in London. They will endeavour to investigate your complaint and respond as soon as possible and provide answers to your questions.I have been reading numerous websites about appeals and complaints and have read that it is possible to write a letter to the ECO to overturn the decision, is this true?
From the information you have provided, it is clear that there was no material error of law made by the ECO refusing that application. the ECO decided the application on the information available to them and on the evidence before them. Because the decision was in accordance with the Rules, it was legally correct. If you believe however, that some facts were not properly considered, you can of course, bring this to the attention of the UKVisas. I am sure they always aim to listen to client's comments in order to improve their quality of service and will take the necessary steps to address the issue.I think that these errors are serious and grounds for a complaint or something?
Reason for what? Several users of this forum have explained you several times that it was not the main reason for refusal of his application. The main reason for refusal was because insufficient evidence was submitted that you both have lived together in the relationship akin to marriage for last two years. Therefore one of Rules to qualify for admission to the UK as your unmarried partner was not met and so the application was refused. I am sure the ECO would not have refused his application solely on the grounds of his UK immigration history providing that all the relevant rules in respect of the unmarried partners had been met.virus10 wrote: But I guess the main reason is because he was supposed to leave the country when he broke up with his EU national wife.
This is not a disaster. If you keep viewing it as a disaster, you will never sort this matter out. All you have to do is to calm down, take your time familiarising yourselves with the Immigration Rules, which would apply to the route your boyfriend wants to use in order to come to the UK next time and then make an application and provide all the required evidence. This would be either proof of you living together in the past 2 years or if it is not available, then you may consider getting married and then apply for a spouse visa. If he is skilled person, he might try himself for Work Permit through a UK employer or HSMP. I would also recommend that you read the NZ immigration procedures for yourself if you decide to go there for other reasons than a visit. I am sure the NZ Authorities have similar procedures in place, which may be even stricter (similarly to Australia that requires 10 times more evidence in respect of the unmarried or married couples plus assurance of support, etc.)Its a complete disaster and seems like a waste of time and money continuing, I dont know what we are going to do.
