Mother Visa Reject - on grounds of Deception (10 year Ban)

[shoei13]

Hi There,
I have very unusual type of case. My mother applied for 6 months UK visit visa 2 years back and her application was refused on the basis of lack of evidence of funds but i logded an appeal and i won the appeal and she visited me in december 2010 - may 2011. and went back.

I applied for her 2 years family visitor visa this january and it was refused on the basis of deception. The reason they mention was SHE CLAIMED she is my mother and it was verified from Govt authorities in Pakistan and they say she is not my mother. It was purely the case of mistake by pakistani authorities.

The case worker gave her right to appeal and i want to appeal against the decision but i want to know if anyone on this fourm can help me in this regard.


What documentary evidence i should provide to verify. In application i put the birth certificate (translated and attested) but case worker didnt considered it.

When i first came to UK as student. My mother actually sponsored me at that time. I have an affidavit of that with me too.

I am really confused. Please help me out.

regards,

Get the Pakistan Government to reconfirm that she is your mother. DNA tests may help too.

I don't understand this - why did the ECO ("the caseworker") have cause to query the relationship with the Pakistani authorities? Is this normal? You say the birth certificate was "not considered", but it seems to me much more likely that it was looked at and thought to be suspect in some way. It might help if you were able to post the exact wording of the reasons for refusal letter.
As Vinny suggests, a DNA test would put the matter beyond doubt, and if it could be done quickly you might be able to get the decision changed on a reconsideration by the Entry Clearance Manager.
