Spouse Visa Refused and to appeal

Hi Friends,

My spouse visa was refused in Myanmar due to the financial requirement. My partner is a British Citizen.

First, they said bank statements are not originals. We provided Halifax statements with stamp on.
Second, they need separate letters from employers. We provided the contract and offer letters. Also, letter from employer of previous job saying that my husband salary is increased.
Third, under category B, if there current job is less than 6 months. I understand in the requirement that we need to proof less than 6 months of pay slips from prior to the date of application and the rest months of previous job prior to the date of application. So what we proved was 4 months of current jobs before the applied date and 10 months of previous job. They need 12 months of previous jobs only.

My question is there is any other way to request them for review apart from appeal process.
I am afraid it will take very long for appeal process.

Thank you so much in advance.

I have seen a case recently submitted in Singapore for Manila BHC has been overturned before appeal. Try to contact the embassy. Read the forum: http://www.immigrationboards.com/immigr ... 88457.html

Thanks, Vanakkam.

I think in the forum, he mentioned that he did Ombudsman judgements first to Natwest?
I would also like to know how I could find out the contact especially for ECM.

Where did you apply?

Hello, I applied in Myanmar. But I think they send my documents to Thailand.

Try to contact the embassy. You can also email/call them using https://ukvi-international.faq-help.com. It is worth a try before going for an appeal/reapplication.

Thank you so much. I have now visa in hand.

Home Office reviewed my case and overturn the decision. It was like a dream I didn't expect.

We asked for help to Local MP along with letter where we explained why we should think all the reasons are not right according to the rules they have set out. A week later, we received the email from Home Office.

I was not even asked for more supporting documents. I was very lucky. I am now preparing to pack.
I wish everyone to be able to sort out the matter.
