richseals, Well done and happy for you on the positive outcome. Would want to ask- was the overturning of the earlier decision based on the mail you sent to complaints@homeoffice.gov.uk or there were further actions/steps you took? Hi, Thank you! I just sent a 30 page document of proof to there com...
Hi, To cut a very long story short, the refusal has been overturned and my wife has now been given a visa (4th October). We have been asked to take her passport to Sao Paulo, Brasil. HOWEVER, they actually have the passport. I have emailed 4 times to the Sao Paulo office and only receive generic res...
[/quote] 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.

Thank you for that... do you know how or who I can email to complain? As no direct emails are given. Best Wishes 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.

If 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...
Ok, 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?? W...
Can you post the exact wording of the refusal, taking out personal information. Here is the refusal in full. It was 4 pages. And as I say, I have supplied the business documents they said we're required. I also paid for a document check service and have receipts of the docs uploaded. And they are s...
[/quote] 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. [/quote] I referred to this being a letter, but it was a 'Decree of Absolute (Divorce) ...
Hi sorry to hear this news. Was this application from abroad? How did you receive the refusal letter. Was it emailed to the applicant or posted to the sponsor? Or was this collected from the application centre Hi, We made the application abroad, in Brasil and uploaded the documents whilst in Brasil...
Thank you so much for those who have responded. 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 ot...
Hi, Any advice is gratefully received. I have just received a refusal email for my wife to live with me for 2.5 years based on lack of evidence. They listed 6 items, and all I had supplied evidence for. They asked for specific documents from my accountant and they were supplied. Obviously I will be ...
It became apparent to me, that any pdf files over 1mb big, could not be uploaded. The site states 10mb and VFS verbally told me it was 3mb. But after numerous testing, it is 1mb big files. If you have the full working version of Acrobat, you can compress your pdf's. But they can only be compressed s...
I have just been thru this process and opted to upload documents. I the upload section, there is a specific section to upload Appendix 2. So, I would say, fill it in and upload if you have this option.
What I would like to clarify is: 1) am I right to do the second form? (https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk) - Appendix FM Partner I DID THE APPENDIX FM PARTNER AND ALSO APPENDIX 2. THERE IS A SECTION TO UPLOAD APP 2, SO IS DEFINITELY REQUIRED. 2) will everything have to go via the Brazil VFS c...
If this helps anyone, then I am happy I have written. So, the VFS Global website which allows or encourages you to upload documentation says it can accept pdfs up to 10mb. This is NOT CORRECT. At the appointment we were told it can only accept up to 3mb big. This is also NOT CORRECT. Only files unde...
Hi, Since posting on here 2 days ago, I have now filled in a different online visa application which has confused me and has raised other questions.I am applying on behalf of my wife who is Brazilian and wishing to continue living with me in the UK on a spouse / wife settlement visa. The first onlin...
I have now started another application. But this time, it is a series of questions and not like the previous online form which you could fill in certain areas and come back to others. You have to answer each question before moving on to the next question. Not sure why this has changed... any ideas? ...
[/quote] She must apply for the spouse visa from her home country. [/quote] As I said, many questions. Just to clarify, is the form I was doing on her behalf the wrong form? I was completing the www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk form online This was also the same form the Solicitor was using who let me down ma...
[/quote] You are aware of the extensive documents needed to meet the financial requirement as self employed per Appendix 1.7?? SU07 is for older dependent relatives or non spouse adult dependents, ie elderly parents or siblings etc. [/quote] I believe I am. The following documents I have collected: ...
Another question: Would it be easier to apply online from the UK? It seems to be £500 cheaper. In August my wife should be allowed to return as she has been out of the UK for 6 months and wonder if this is when we could use the new 'Service Centres'? It seems like appointments are rare, but is this...
There is a timelimit to how long applications remain active before they can't be used and you have to start again. Usually around 10 weeks. SU07 form is NOT required for a spouse settlement visa. Are you on unpaid leave for this period while out of the UK?? How are you meeting the financial require...

Hi, and thank you for taking the time to read this post, I will try to keep it brief. My wife and I got married July 2018 and nearly a year later are still in the process of applying for a Settlement Wife visa. I mistakenly entrusted my application with a solicitor who after 11 weeks proved to me th...
