Under paragr 320(7a) of the Immigration Rules a person must automatically be refused entry clearance if false representations or documents are used (whether or not material to the application and whether or not to the applicants knowledge) or material facts are not disclosed in relation to the application. A false representation for these purposees is a lie, or a false statement in a visa application, made either or in writing.
Your partner has submitted an application to accompany you to the UK as your dependent. Under PBS rules, unmarried partners are required to be living together in a marriage/civil partnership like relationship for at least 2 years. I note that you have been studying in the UK since September 2010 and that you and your partner cannot have been living together during this time as required by the rules. In support of your application you and your partner have submitted a letter stating that you have been in relationship for three and a half years and that you previously lived together. However in your previous applications you state your marital status as single. The discrepancies in the answers you have given in this and that this false representations have been made and am refusing your application under Paragraph 320 7(a) of the Immigration Rules.
You should note that because this application for entry clearance has been refused under paragraph 320 (7A) of the Immigration Rules, any future applications may also be refused under parag 320(7B) of the Immig Rules, (subject to the requirements set out in paragr 320(7C)). A refusal under paragr 320 (7B) of the Immmigr Rules attracts an automatic refusal period of up to 10 years. The period starts from the date of the previous event in which the deception or submission of falsified documents or information was employed.
I tend to disagree. Most people who are not married describe themselves as single and though in a relationship, you had no reason to think of yourself as otherwise when you applied for your first visa. Indeed, to call yourself an unmarried partner at that time would have perhaps been incorrect and that would have been the false declaration rather than the one that your gave for this most recent application. I find that part of this situation quite ironic! Only recently have you discovered that an unmarried partner could be someone who has lived akin to marriage for a period of two years, and so, assuming that your situation now possibly matches those conditions, you decided to use that definition when you applied for your new visa. It was an innocent mistake and I suggest that a well presented case might be able to rectify this mess (the ban at least).Mike30 wrote:It looks like my chances with solicitor are not very good as well?
