My initial concern (as stated in the start of the thread) was establishing financial ties and it seems like its been reiterated here and which makes sense. Everything else will be ignored (family ties/family commitments , her 60 years of life in home country) as the ECO is concerned about the afford...

thank you for the reply - I have been unwell hence the late response. Financially they had previous concerns - so your focus should be on demonstrating the best financial picture and evidence to support that picture. The more evidence you have the better. thats exactly what I was thinking but whats ...

Thanks for the reply and your assessment of the situation. I had the same feeling but suppose we can’t proceed further without applying to see the outcome but wanted to find out what else could be done to support the application at the initial stage. PAP will be the final course of action but want t...

Hi All, planning to apply for mother in law visit visa to UK from Pakistan. I will be sponsoring her (have a job and house) but from reading few posts here, my understanding is that more emphasis should be on the circumstances and establishing ties with home country. Question is what can be done to ...

Another try to get the answer for the question above
There must be people with similar experience or knowledge

Not sure if I should try as a new thread?


Thanks

Hello,

Can someone please shed some light on the above question.

Thanks

Dear All, Looking at the above, I understand about time spent in out of UK. My question is, does it matter if the time spent out of UK isn’t in the home country. E.g. if my parents (home country Pakistan) have stayed with my brother in Dubai for 6 months in last 12 months? Would it/could it cause is...

yeah i got it.... its been granted

Glad to hear that - how long was the reconsideration time period?

I changed jobs in Nov (not sure why Oct was mentioned). Main point was that I was on probation and can’t take any time off. Even you have changed your job in NOV but still it can't be said as recent change. A person on probation is still entitled to holidays. In the hindsight, I agree, it wasn’t th...

Another month, another refusal... would my parents ever get to come to uk? It’s been a heartbreaking news for 70 year old parents that yet another time visa has been refused All they wanted to do was to come and spend time with their grandchildren Every time we submit additional docs, a new set of r...

I don’t think i read anybody else got his/her refusal letter with detailed reasoning via email. Please correct me if i am wrong. please anybody with same situation!or experience!? Reasons for refusal are NOT sent visa email. You only get that when passport is collected!!! I actually also received r...

Great - thanks
I had a feeling for that too.
Sent an email to support team let’s what they reply with

How did you get around the problem? My issue is that I’m not sure if the all pages are uploaded or not and if not what else I can do? You can only select 5 files to upload at once and the remaining files have to go separately- system shows 2nd batch uploading but when you view it, Files aren’t there...

Documents upload is a really temperamental system. Not sure is it just me but it doesn’t let me upload more than 13 pages (or I can’t view more than 13). My bank statement alone is 16 pages (6 months). Secondly if i upload more than 1 document I can select multiple documents to upload but when I wan...

Thank you so much for the quick response

Hello all, Can someone tell me if we get few days to upload docs after making the payment. Can I book appointment after payment and before uploading documents. Don’t want to proceed to next screen if I don’t get time to upload documents but want to book appointment ASAP. I’ve completed the form but ...

Hello What was your experience in this. I’ve completed the application form but not sure of order of steps after this. I understand I can’t change application form once proceeding to payment screen. But not sure how long will I have to submit documents and can I book appointment straight away before...

Hello, Visit visa application process seems to have changed since April, 1) the appointment slots were visible prior to making payment but not the case anymore. Am I correct and Does anyone know approximately what dates are available in Islamabad (if someone booked recently) 2) uploading documents i...

I highly appreciate your time and effort. Defo gives me a lead on making up my mind

Hi All/CR001 Regarding question for reapply, if i reapply, I think I will have to explain the point around closed bank account. Any may be shouldn’t submit unnecessary documents. Did I understand this correctly? Also just for peace of mind, if I ever go down the route of PAP can HO include new objec...

I take your point - and completely understand

But not sure how to address points in latest refusal. I copied the text in my original post

Am I correct to understand that you suggest we should re apply without business documents?

Would PAP be recommended?

My father has managed to find bank closure application from 3 years ago and bank has verified that the application is genuine and the account was closed on customer request I am confused whether to apply for PAP or make a new application explaining the point that closed account can’t be verified and...

May be due to our naivety... I was being over cautious in case if we hadn’t supplied the documents, I suppose they could come back still refusing that previous points were not addressed

Appreciate it might not be easier to solve the situation but any suggestion on a particular course of action?

My father went to the bank to check why the bank statement couldn’t be verified and it turned out that out of 3,2 were verified but not the third one. The unverified bank statement was his business bank statement which was closed 2 years ago (as he’s retired now) and apparently banks in Pakistan imm...
