Oh I think you'll find Amanda knows her stuff, it is her job after all...vin123 wrote:I think the statement below is slightly misleading, firstly there is no such special category called "family visit visa" for visiting UK.
You're confusing the Family Visitor Visa with the EEA family PermitIf the poster meant family permit, as far as I'm aware, those visas are only issued to non-EU spouses of EU member state citizens.

Re: Right of appeal for refusal, its best to contact an immigration lawyer who is a subject matter expert.

where family is defined in The Immigration Appeals (Family Visitor) Regulations 2003.(1) A person who applies for entry clearance for the purpose of entering the United Kingdom as a visitor may appeal under section 82(1) against refusal of entry clearance only if the application was made for the purpose of visiting a member of the applicant’s family .
(2) In subsection (1) the reference to a member of the applicant’s family shall be construed in accordance with regulations.
(3) Regulations under subsection (2) may, in particular, make provision wholly or partly by reference to the duration of two individuals' residence together.
(4) Subsection (1) does not prevent the bringing of an appeal on either or both of the grounds referred to in section 84(1)(b ) and (c ).

It may be better to use Sets rather than just equality.vin123 wrote: Reading information showing documents such like; apple = a fruit, orange = a fruit, and then someone pasting apple = orange (oh yeah, you will get supporters too !) based on the above makes it only laughable and hilarious !
