It’s the same concern I have. I uploaded the documents and I checked a day later one of them disappeared, I uploaded again. On the bio date, I asked VFS staff to confirm but he claimed that he can’t see. Maybe because I didn’t buy their uploading services.

My wife was previously married and they said we had not proven she was divorced and therefore our marriage was not legal. I supplied a County court letter saying that the divorce was verified. And obviously supplied our own marriage certificate.
The other docs were business related info from my accountant.CT600 etc. They also said personal bank statements hadn't been supplied.
I've just found a email confirmation of what had been uploaded and all the docs were there.
Just waiting for a solicitor to return my call.
I wish you all luck in this situation.
Hi,
I'm sorry to hear this. So refusal will always be letter or email. It won't be handed to you at application centre as in no need really to waste your time to them.richseals wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 3:43 pmHi,
We made the application abroad, in Brasil and uploaded the documents whilst in Brasil.
The refusal letter was via email.And was sent to myself, the sponsor. But that is who we requested it to be sent to.
Not sure you can collect.
Just spoken with a solicitor, and she said she had spent all afternoon uploading docs to VFS Global, which continually kept crashing. She believes its only a matter of time until the processs comes under new scrutiny.
She has suggested a pre action, judicial review letter. If she writes for me, it will be £600.
Apparently, the review system takes 6-12 months and she would charge £3k to hire a barrister to represent me.
This get worse and worse!
County court letter alone wont work rather an original divorce certificate issued by the competent authorites will only be accepted. Also the date of divorce should be earlier than when you have married.
Here is the refusal in full. It was 4 pages.
Hi,CR001 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 8:33 pmOk, so what list of documents exactly were submitting and what is your income AFTER allowable expenses and BEFORE tax?
I am still unsure what you submitted as evidence of divorce. Only an official Divorce Decree Absolute would be accepted. The document you submitted, when exactly did you get it?? Where did your divorce take place, presumably in the UK??

I’m not sure if I can do anything before the decision to avoid similar situation as yours.
Good luck I hope your AR works.
You don't necessarily need a barrister or solicitor, it will depend on how comfortable you are with going through the review process themselves. There is guidance available and others have done it without legal assistance. There is always the possibility that the Home Office made a mistake when considering your application, which is why there is an administrative review process. As I mentioned, contacting your MP for assistance or clearly outlining your case in a complaint email to HO will not affect any future appeal rights, will not cost you anything, and could be of some benefit in either getting more information about the refusal or in having the refusal overturned if you have provided the correct documents and they were simply overlooked when your application was being considered.
Hi Waleed
Once you sign in with VFS it will ask for application number GWF and email address. Once entered it asks what you want to do: buy services, upload docs, change appointment. It’s still giving me these choices although I already submitted biometrics.
Hi, I have emailed my local MP and just called to chase. I have been told they will respond on Monday.TODMATT wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2019 1:52 pmIf this is a spouse visa then AR doesn't work as it will be totally ignored and also ROA is given.
Alot of members have been refused based on missing evidence despite submitted. I will visit your local MP asap and esclate your concerns as well as your disatisfaction with the decison.
It is possible that your decison can be overturned through the help of your MP without needing to go through appeal because it's a lenghty process.
It's complaints@homeoffice.gov.uk for complaints about service or professional conduct, which I think would apply in your case if documents provided were overlooked. Additional details here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisat ... -procedure
