That's the thing, by end of the months he doesn't have much left in his Personal Account, so cant be used to prove he has funds to support himself! The issue is he has for many years used his saving account as a business account and that has caused so many confusions for this application, hence I do...

Thanks very much everyone! I agree that mixing personal and business accounts caused the confusion. I will only include personal account for next time. Now my main issue is, his personal account only receives his salary and shows a normal daily transactions. He can afford paying for his trip and exp...

What are your views guys? I kind of decided not to do the Priority Visa anymore, but I still need to know not submitting the saving account and just providing the Current Account with all the transactions explained, as well as insurance and salary report would be enough and a good idea!? As I mentio...

Correct and that why I explained everything in detail as they asked for. But still.... 😔 Explanations obviously not accepted then. We would need to see each full refusal reason for anyone to offer any helpful advice. Okay here is what I have for past two refusals, as now that I checked we got the f...

Correct and that why I explained everything in detail as they asked for. But still....

Fair enough, will post details for each refusal letter in a bit.

Detailing and explaining each transaction is what they ask for. Every time the ECO complains that there are transactions that they dont understand. And asking me to explain every single one of them for a 3 months of transactions.

I personally don't understand this side of it, as how come consecutive applications would come across as desperate, of course I am desperate to be able to have my dad here to visit me. 😔 Not all of them, I have to mention that, third time, absolutely none of the documents were looked at, raised a PA...

Three last year and one this year February. But isn't that the whole point? I'm adding more details and documents to the application, each time explain things in more detail. And point out what was overlooked in the last application and submit again. I spoke to a lawyer and he suggested considering ...

But everyone's situation is different, I was a political Asylum seeker at the time.

Thanks foe the response. Well long story short, I visit him in a third country every six months. Seeing him is not an issue. I have lived here for past 15 years, I wanna be able to show him the life I built for myself. More than enough tied to Iran I would say, he has two sons one of whom lives with...

I have been trying to get a visa for my dad to visit me in the UK for the first time, we applied 4 times so far and each time they refuse it with some baseless reasons. He lives in Iran, and to apply he needs to do his biometric process at a Vfs office where the application will be sent to Abu Dhabi...

I see, wouldn't that be the money that he brings? Beside he doesn't need or want to spend anything, I will be hosting him so the reality is he wont need to spend anything! I understand that there is no issue with bringing money, but I don't want him to bring anything because it will turn out too exp...

Thanks a lot for the response! Yes we're providing evidence that he has a business and he is CEO of the company and needs to attend work on daily basis! Also providing all insurance and bank statements to prove he has a source of income from his business. Would him bringing his own money to spend ma...

I was wondering if someone can help me understand if my approach is correct I am applying for a Visit visa for my dad to visit me here in the UK for two weeks for the first time! Last attempt was not successful and they complained that it wasn't clear how much he was earning. In this application we ...

Hi My dad's Visa have been refused for the second time within 2 months of the first application. I fixed all the issues the mentioned in the first application, they are refusing it for the same reason. As if they haven't read it at all. I am taking them to the court for discrimination, to be honest ...

That's true, I was just saying that to my dad!

Thanks very much for your help everyone

Unfortunately, appeals may only be made under human rights grounds. The Court of Appeal had made it practically improbable for a visitor appeal to succeed under human rights grounds. If he has £348,423 in his bank account, then why would he need your financial support? They were probably also confu...

Perhaps I have given too much details, I stated that I will take care of all expenses and provided full details of my bank account, but still they looked at his account.
So there is no way I can take them to court or appeal?
I have to apply again?

Hi guys, Today I got an email from British Embassy in Abu Dhabi that my father's visitor visa was refused! I am a British citizen and been living in the UK for 12 years now. I lost my mother last year and it's been a very difficult time for all of us, I thought my dad visiting me in the UK for the f...

They keep nothing, you will get all your documents back. You are also free to travel with your passport while waiting for the decision.

Lol
I know right? I was a bit surprised too but well I guess this Sopra Steria is doing a good job.

No worries,
They were processing families all together so I think it might take much less than 3 hours for all of you.

I went there by train, but the car park is right next to the centre, not sure how their payment system work, sorry.

This afternoon I was pleasantly surprised to have received the acknowledgement email below for the application we just made online yesterday. Thank you for your application to the Home Office. Your application has been received and is being considered. It may take up to six months to make a decisio...

Just submitted my application at Croydon centre. I arrived 2 hours earlier. They didn't check the time I did my biometrics straight away and after 5 minutes an operator did check my documents and submitted them to UKVI. She didn't check my original documents at all she just reviewed the ones I uploa...
