Just got a letter of rejection for the Tier 2 dependent visa application. Here is the relevant part:
If I understand it correctly, the application was considered as if I (the sponsor) would be a British citizen or had an ILR. This may had happened in two ways:We have considered your application under paragraph EC-P.1.1. of Appendix FM. However, you
do not qualify for entry clearance under the 5-year partner route for the following reasons:
...
Eligibility
Under paragraph EC-P.1.1.(d) you do not meet all of the eligibility requirements of Section E-ECP
of Appendix FM for the following reasons:
Eligibility Relationship Requirement
You do not meet the eligibility relationship requirement of paragraphs E-ECP.2.1. to 2.10 for the
reason(s) set out below:
- Your sponsor is a Tier 2 (General) migrant. You have submitted his British residence
Permit to confirm this. I am therefore not satisfied that your sponsor is present or settled
in the UK or being admitted for settlement on the same occasion as you. I therefore refuse
your application under paragraph EC-P.1.1(d) of Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules.
(E-ECP.2.1)
Eligibility Financial Requirement
You meet the eligibility financial requirement of paragraphs E-ECP.3.1. to 3.4.
Eligibility English Language Requirement
You meet the eligibility English language requirement of paragraphs E-ECP.4.1. to 4.2.
- either it was an ECO's mistake
- or it was ours, because the previous webform was extremely confusing in its visa types and we might have selected the wrong type of spouse visa.
