Documents getting lost by ECO's is not new to UKBA when deciding applications to issue visa. I will endeavour you to ask your spouse to re-send another payslips ( I doubt it if his/her employer may be able to issue original ones) if not, you can ask them for print out, stamped and dated by a manager...

@Lucapooka,
Thank you very much, initially that is what I and my wife was thinking, reading from peoples' comments here, I was thinking it will count as new evidence, fingers crossed with prayers, I pray they call her to come and submit her result.

Hi, My spouse visa too was submitted in Lagos and was refused based on "Subsisting Relationship". It has the same reference as yours "SHEFF". When I met with my lawyer, he tried to figure out where this reference came from, he told me that he has not seen this type of reference before, however, he d...

Hi, I am in the boat as you, I don't know if you are the one that paid the appeal fees, since you engaged the service of lawyer, some may charge it with their fees, while some will not. When I did mine, the lawyer did not charge the appeal fees as I paid the appeal fees myself, I had to provide deta...

@Reda, Submitting your application early will not penalize you when the ECO is making decision, it even increase your chances of getting the visa, however, make sure you submit required documents requested by UKBA, especially in the area of "Subsisting Relationship", write a comprehensive report abo...

I think you should fill in the date that appears on you employer's letter, BUT please don't forget to include your P60 because it comes from the same company, don't also forget that the letter from your employer should address all requirements that UKBA expect in the employer's letter, with 6 months...

@Mirabbelz, Are you a native of country that is exempted from writing English test?, if so, you will be fine with your appeal, but if not, if at all you write and pass English test after the decision, this will be regarded as new evidence.

@Moon and star, the ECO's always cross check the payslips you presented with the application with bank statements, if the amount in the pay slip did not reflect in the bank statement for each week or month, they might refuse, because this might make them to say you did not followed what is requested...

I will advice you to read the heading "Subsisting Relationship" on this forum, you stand 90% chance of winning when you appeal, the ECO are demanding lot of evidences which the law did not stipulates. don't re-apply again, because if different ECO treats your application, he/she might find another e...

@Saadkhna, You can see how the ECO get back at you now, just because some information are left out in the employer's letter, gave reason for refusal, this case runs through a grey area because the ECO have got a copy of employer's letter that you submitted with the application, this can be used as a...

My candid advise to you is that, all the 6 payslips that you will submit should reflect in your bank statements, for example, your Febuary salary will reflect in the March bank statement ( not quite sure, if this applies to you). By my calculation, if you must to submit March bank statement, you mus...

From my experience, if the date on NARIC letter indicates the date after the decision was made, it will count as new evidence, therefore, the appeal will fail, as the ECM will have expect you to provide this evidence during your application.

Hi All, I think the UKBA are just very funny in their decision, I first applied for my wife settlement visa in November 2012, which was refused 2 weeks after. The ECO gave his reasons for refusal based on the fact that I did not submit Letter from my employer and P60. Second reason was that he did n...
