I have a similiar case (Child Settlement applied, parent is a settled British Citizen).
The ECO refused the visa stating that 'Adequate Financial Requirements' are NOT met, which I think is totally totally wrong.
I believe, under
Rule 297, the parent doesn't have to fulfil any financial requirement, just '
accommodate adequately' needs to be proven.
** Can somebody confirm this ? **
I am thinking of 'Re-applying' : Since it has a strong potential the application to be fast-tracked or atleast they realise their mistake, should they see the same application again (I know...I live in hope!).
Appealing, though seems like a sure way to get a Visa, could take months and we are not willing to wait that long.
Advice appreciated.
