i heard they apparently improved since january this year and they are sending the cases to London, but even though 10 weeks is a bit long .....
may i ask why were you refused? and what were the main difficult questions asked in the interview ?
thanks again
that sounds awaful, how can they treat people like that? how is someone supposed toknow the date of birth of his parents in law!3crown wrote:My hub went home and we just applied right in the middle of the rule changes last Feb/March vis-a-vis the new 10 year ban for overstayers. We got great support from our MP and had a great barrister who got the decision overturned within 3 weeks.
...some of the questions were:
have you met your parents in law
what are their dates of birth
How did you originally enter England?
Why are you answering me in English? You asked for the interview to be conducted in your own language...?
(she then went on to cite his poor understanding of English as a reason to refuse!)
Has your wife visited Algeria (I had, twice, and called them from their during the application process but they refued to let me attend his interview with him)
Hubby offered photos but got a stark "not interested!" from the delightful ECO
how much does your wife spend on petrol for getting to work (??__££!)
Your step-daughters' letters of support looklike they've been written by someone else
Why did you only choose to legalise yourself after you got married ?(because I did't want to be married to an illegal doh)Swan wrote:Thanks a lot 3crown3crown wrote:we applied this time last year and it took 10 weeks including a refusal and then overturn. Awful interview...

jaanabee wrote:Hi 3crown.....
aww thanks,seems like u know how i feel!!
u sed that the ECM overturned the rejection,does that mean it didnt reach the court? ... how long did the papers take 2 process? i spoke 2an immigration advisor who sed i have a 50/50 chance,but if it reaches the court it will mostly go in our favour.......i just hope it doesnt come 2that!
im scared abt the law change,we have a baby together so i cant even imagine wat it wud be like if he was banned
it was nice 2hear ur side of things,and im sorry 4the constant questions...i have many but no answers
anyway,u have been very helpfull,thanks xx
jaanabee wrote:Hi 3crown....
oh,sorry 2 here abt that,it sounds like u had a terrible time of it
we consulted a lawyer in the UK and were told 2marry in Algeria and apply from here,but after 6 whole months its impossible 4 us so now he will apply as my fiancee....
why did u have a barrister? i thought one was only needed when it went 2 court........... (sorry abt all the questions,im just trying 2b as prepared as possible...money wise aswell)
i am just getting the paperwork ready,we wer intending 2marry and apply with a spouse visa but its not happening....
