In 2016 I applied with my British partner under FLR(fp), after living together for 1 year, the application was refused stating that we've not lived together for 2 years, not married and has no child, we went for JR oral hearing and lost the case. We got married after 1 year, by then we've lived together for more than 2 years. I sent the application with our marriage certificate, but the home office held it for over a year. Now we have a baby and I sent the baby's birth certificate to support my application. After 7 days of sending the birth certificate the home office quickly refused me, stating that my application is the same as the previous one, they said although they are aware that I am in a genuine relationship and I'm now legally married but that does not mean that I met the immigration requirement because my resident permits have expired and we did not mention that we have a child in my application. They did not say anything on the birth certificate that I sent to them. They received the birth certificate on Tuesday the 26th June and they refused me on thursday the 5th of July. That is 9 days after I sent it and 7 working days after they received it. There was no right of appeal as they said the case will not succeed before the judge at court as its the same as the previous case in court.
Any advice on what to do next, please.....Genuine advice will be appreciated please.
Thanks
Disgusting tactics by the Home Office. I'm really sorry to see the refusal despite all that you have been through.
My only advice is to put in a fresh application, you will surely meet all the conditions of your relationship, your cohabitation and your baby add weight to your application.
What you need to really focus on is WHY it is not possible for your partner to return back to home country for Entry Clearance, what insurmountable obstacles that make it difficult for separation.
Address each and every reason for refusal in very clear language. You'll have more chances of success and appeal rights.
I have been in this situation with my husband where we waited 18 months for a stupid refusal not even based on our marriage but as a further submissions claim. Currently in JR which is a total waste of time at the moment as we should just re-apply addressing the refusal and provide whatever they needed.
I know its more money, its more trouble, its more waiting. All I can say is you're not alone in this journey.
GOD BLESS>
