Hi

Very desperate

Got married in Idian in Nov 2015
Born in the uk, I work earn more than 100k, own home/etc, no criminal record

Visa for spouse refused as fools ie the agents for to send my 6 bank statements, my divorce certificate and had black and white photo copies of my payslips

last week i sent a copy of divorce cert a colour copy, a colour copy of my bank stateets as i am on line banking, and colour copy of my employer confirming i have worked there for 7 years - everthing else is ok

it was not my fault and i have written concise details why items were not supplied orginally or supplied in wrong format

Wish u good luck, but is better if u could get ur MP involved as he will contact the Home Office and speed up the process for u and even they review their decision without going to court.
I have a friend with similar situation and now he got his visa.

Thank you Imma

I really don't see why MP should be involved or court as clearly the fault of the agent, and I have the proof required and been a model uk citizen, and my wife has a degree, speaks a1 English.

How long do you think it will take please? The office/embassy that rejected it was Dehli

Thanks

If you go to court it will take up to one year, and if the home office decided to change their decision before they go to court it might take you only two or three months but as i told u if u could get ur MP involved it will speed up the process and you might get ur visa within one month

Hello Vanakkamchennai,
Appreciate your help in the forum. could you please have a look at the below details about my wife Settlement dependent visa refusal.

Dependent Visa Refused - Financial Reason - Apply to join the family of the Settled Person

I am running my limited company and it has completed the first financial year.
· Limited Company Incorporation Date: 10Sep2014
· Business Bank Account Opening Date: 06-Oct-2014
· Contract Start Date: 20-Oct-2014
· First Invoice Paid into the account: 07-Nov-2014
· My company first Financial year is (10Sep2014 till 30Sep2015).
· Filled the CT600 – Corporation tax for the same period - 10Sep2014 till 30Sep2015

Due to the bank account opening delays, and invoice is not paid into the business account during October 2014, I have not taken the my salary as a director for Sep 2014 & Oct 2014.
I have taken my first salary in Nov-2014.
· Submitted payslips from Nov-2014 till Nov-2015 – 13 Months
· Submitted Business Bank Statements from 31Oct 2014 till 30Nov2015 – 13 Months
· Submitted payslips from Nov-2014 till Nov-2015 – 13 Months
· Submitted Personal Bank Statements from 01Sep2014 till 30Nov2015 – Nearly 15 Months

Now they have refused the visa stating the below reason.

You have not provided any one of the following document which cover the period from 10/09/2014(Incorporation Date) as shown on CT600. The documents you have submitted are dated Oct 2014

· Personal Bank Statements covering the same 12 month period as the company Tax Return CT600 showing that the salary as a director was paid into an account in the name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly
· Corporate/Business Bank statements covering the same 12 month period as the company Tax Return CT600 (My business bank account itself is opened on 06Oct2014 and no transactions till 31Oct2014)
· Dividend Vouchers for all dividends declared in favour of the person during or in respect of the period covered by the company Tax Return CT600 showing the company’s and the person’s details with the persons net dividend amount and tax credit.

These are specified documents and they must be provided. The fact that your sponsor may not have completed a full financial year in the self employment doesn't exempt you from meeting the evidential requirements of Appendix FM-SE. Self employed sponsors are required to have completed a full financial year before they will be able to meet the evidential requirements of Appendix FM-SE.


--- Incorporation Date - 10/09/2014

Please advice whether i can go for the appeal on my own or Do I need to go through with a solicitor in order to explain the grounds.

And regarding the Online appeal form also, it is going to IAFT-2 reference even after clearing the cookies.

Please advice.

i don't know i've found the email in this forum and emailed them and they have responded very quickly to my surprise with the bad news that my decision didn't get overturned, anyway its was better than waiting because i got my answer by Sheffield email nearly one month before the tribunal sent me the hearing notice , before that i've contacted the tribunal by tel many times to ask them about my appeal status and they knew absolutely nothing.here is the address email
Sheffield.IslamabadAppeals@fco.gov.uk

Who and where at the HO Saturn? I tried UKVI, they are completely ineffective and spend their time copying and pasting messages, global appeals say they do not have my appeal bundle, and the first tier tribunal are telling me they posted it to Delhi, but they are unable to track the post as its not a service they offer.

i am at a complete loss.

Its weird because global appeal must have the answer , they must tell you if the decision is maintained or overturned, in my case they did, if not i think they already overturned your decision and they will contact you soon
