Hi,
Visa application was lodged at BDHC, Bombay under "'Indian Child - applying to join the sole British parent in UK'"
I have just been handed a Refusal-of-Entry-Clearance with following reasons :
(1) There is an existing Legal Guardian in India and hence the British Parent doesn't have 'Sole Responsibility'. (We have since applied for the Legal Guardianship to be removed and should get it within a week now).
(2) I fell short of the required £18,600 Gross income. (I have now updated payslips and also healthy bank balance and hence can provide that too).
My questions are :
(A) Should I send the IAFT-2 to First-Tier-Tribunal (Loughbourough) or the BDHC, Bombay - which refused the application ?
(B) When I send the IAFT-2, do I send the whole package with all documents originally submitted OR do I just send the new documents mentioned above ?
(C) How long does the process usually take via each method (Loughbourough and Bombay) ? Approx times appreciated.
(D)** Most important ** Shall I turn down the offer to Appeal and re-apply ? Are there any restrictions in doing so ?
Quick help much appreciated !
