What were the reasons for your partner's refusal?

Hi Bal,

I wrote to my local MP via email. He was very good and responded within a day and then called me to clarify situations.

You have to find out who your local MP is. There is no such template.. just contact them and explain the situation.

My wife's visa has been issued...

and she's arrived safely yesterday. Thank you everyone for all your advises and help.

Passport collected and Visa issued until February 2016.

Court date can be a month or more after the ECM deadline date... but all that depends on availability...

Theresa May has no children... so obviously, she wouldn't know what its like to have family...

Hope all goes well for you...

Just to update...

'DOT Letter' has been sent to my wife following a phone call to confirm that she should submit her passport.

They have said that it will take 10-12 working days to review the application.

Firstly, if you had savings for more than 6 months, you should write to the Visa office for the attention of the ECM and explain to them that the money was held in your account, and that you transferred it... If the ECM is satisfied that the evidence was already provided - they should overturn immed...

I have an email from an ECM stating that the sponsorship undertaking is not required and that it has been clarified. If there was no other reasons, then, u must write to the visa office immediately. The appeal will take 6 months, but u can still write to them and expect a reply within 20 working days.

Nope..

I guess they'll drag til 30th April... I sent an email to them last week and they replied - below:

Your application will be reviewed once its place in the queue is reached therefore any future emails will be read but not responded to.

I guess that's their attitude..

They will reply within a few working days... if you don't get a response.. resend the email with ATTN: Entry Clearance Manager or Operations Manager in the subject line.

Just to clarify.. the Operations Manager at the Chennai office has confirmed to me in writing that the SU07 form is not a mandatory requirement and that the decision to reject an application for that issue is in fact an incorrect decision.

If you feel that the decision is incorrect, write to the visa office immediately... an Entry Clearance Manager will respond to you within 20 working days.

You must also submit your appeal... just to make sure you don't lose your right to appeal.

If your gross annual income is above 18,600 and the last six months payslips have at least £1550 before tax, then you do not need to submit 12 months payslips - 6 months is enough. first question to ask is whether you meet the annual income requirement... then, if you must submit the 12 months paysl...

My mate said there maybe flaws in the application and her salary may not be the required amount anyway

If the salary is not the required amount, they will not be able to appeal. How long is it since the application was made?

desmortess.. They will only look at your sponsor's employment. If their gross annual income is over 18,600 - you are safe to apply.

You have a history of previous application, refusal and failed appeal. The bad news can be anything.. good news is that there is a slight chance that based on previous applications and the documents that you submitted, they may be happy with any additional lengths that you may have gone to in order ...

Agree with ID29.

Also get an employer letter to mention gross annual income along with the 12 months payslips.

If the originals were available at the time of rejecting, then you should submit them with your appeal.

If it was just one evidence, then the ECO would contact you, as it is all six payslips, and contract, then they were right to reject.

Were there no other reasons for the refusal?

Hi all..

sorry for the late update.

The answer is no, I haven't had a response. My MP is working on the response he received and has challenged it with the UKBA.

At present, April 30 is the next hope for me.

Yes. You should write to the Visa office that processed your application - I believe in your case it should be isbvacmgr@gerrys.com.pk request that an ECM looks at your email immediately - an ECM should respond within 20 working days explaining why your application was rejected. If they find that al...

in many cases, an MP's involvement has helped get a response a lot sooner than the usual 90 working days for appeals. My MP advised me that although they cannot provide legal assistance, they will still write to the visa office in support to an appeal or even a new application - provided that we mee...

When talking about the service level agreements set by UKBA for VFS - it is 60 working days - i.e. 12 weeks... they aim to complete 95% of applications within 60 working days and 100% of applications within 120 working days. recently, their performance has been below average... 60% seems low, but th...

SLA is 60 Days...

As confirmed by Chennai office.

The number is generated from the day the application is submitted...

Service level agreements set by the British Government State that posts have 60 working days in which to deal with settlement

This is what they wrote to me when I sent them an email requesting an update.
