Thanks for reply John!John wrote:Raven, sorry to hear that your wife's application was refused. But if that is the case she will have been handed a notice detailing why the application was refused. What does that say? Without knowing that it is impossible to know what to suggest.
As regards "Those ECO are corrupt!" ... care! They only have a job to do. And it is a difficult job. If they simply nodded through every application, well, they would not be doing their job, would they! Look at the reason(s) for refusal and work on that aspect .... it could be something very simple that they need that will reverse the decision.

2. Why did such have details pertaining to refusal but not the grounds thereof?
3. How many times did you meet prior to the marriage date?
4. When was such(3 if any) in relation to the marriage date i.e. 1 year before, 5 yrs etc.
5. How old is your bride?
Likewise it would be useful to know what questions your spouse was aksed at interview. On speculation it appears that the ECO has concerns over the subsistence of a relationship.
Thank you very much bruv.bash_h wrote:Raven,
Im sure this must all be very distressing for you, I went through the same procedure of applying in January this year but thank god my wife got her visa after 14 weeks.
Funnily enough, I am helping someone with an appeal at the moment and will give you a few pointers.
1. Wait for the appeal papers to come back. It will contain a refusal letter which will list all the points that were objected on. Hopefully when you have this you can work on them one-by-one and then think about further documentation to prove to the ECO that your case is geniune.
2. I dont feel involving the MP at this stage will make a difference. Wait and see what the refusal is about and take the next step from there.
3. The papers should be collected from Gerry's asap, remember they are giving you 28-days to respond and the clock is ticking. Then its up to you how you collect the papers and reply to them. They should either be submitted locally back to fedex (do not, under any circumstance, send the reply paperwork from the UK direct to Fedex, they will refuse to accept, probably because they still ask for more Rs in fees to deliver to the embassy) or Ideally, send them back to the address in the UK for appeals.
4. www.visadropbox.com is a lot of cr**, the database is always out of date and incorrect. The best thing to get correct information is ring the embassy yourself. I know the lines are always busy and the "please ring back in 15 min" message always seems to be on but always persist. One important note to make here is, that get your wife to speak to the embassy if you need to, as they apply the Data protection act there too and wont disclose the details to anyone else over the phone, not even you. Dont worry, they speak urdu!
5. I believe when you go to pick up the passport, it will have the appeal papers. get her to get them, and then courier them to you if you want to appeal in the UK. TCS are good fast couriers and they arent so expensive either. www.tcs.com.pk
let us know how you do.
all the best!
I had all of this when i applied for the first time, but i was still refused... the ECO did not believe that i was employed just because i worked in a Asian Superstore, if i was working in a English store then the visa would have been granted first time and i am 100% certain of this even if i didnt have all of the documents to prove i was working.journey wrote:I think it's too late to write on this topic, but don't you think that you should have submitted these earlier with the apllication?
If your wages are not going in to your bank account then always provides following:
1. Employment contract letter
2. Inland Revenue letter
3. Letter from an Acountant confirming your employment
Hope for the best ... every thing will be sorted out soon...
