Good morning. My uncle got his decision for his family visit visa and it was REFUSED for a stupid reason. They firstly took ages to even come up with a decision.
Please could you advise me on what steps to take next and what new documents should i provide.
I have attached the refusal notice.
Points i want to indicate:
In bangladesh most transactions are done in cash and therefore employees are paid in cash. We provided "salary receipts" (their form of payslips) of the last 6 months which stated the same and confirmed the stated salary.
VFS also telephoned his store and spoke with his manager to confirm his employment which he was notified by his employer.
Bank Statements:
My uncle provided 6 months personal bank statements which showed a summary of 15 lac (15,000,000). Theses were money transferred to him by ourselves for property development over the year and reflected the same on his account. This was explained on a covering letter to the BHC.
My uncle deposited money in his account so his this can demonstrate to the BHC that should he be granted his visa his family in Bangladesh would have sufficient funds available to them. The money he receives from employer and his stuff he keeps not in his bank account at home so just stating on his cover letter that he has x amount would not be suffienct enough thats why he put it in his account. (the funds are still available in his account because his family dont need it now as his visa was refused)
I personally think the Entry clearance officer did not read all cover letters we provided as it clearly demonstrated that his sponsors us would clearly pay for all accommodation TRAVEL etc etc... and the costs to him are NIL so the last point he can not afford his return jounery is a joke.
Basically all the documents that were required was provided but i think they were just looking for an excuse to refuse a young male.
Documents which we provided were
Provided two sponsors for finances. His young brother (retail) and myself (a nurse for the NHS).
Accommodation proof was Council Tax bill and Utility Bill
Provided 6 months Payslips from both myself his younger brother

Documents which my uncle provided

Letter from employer confirming time off (3 months paid 2 months unpaid holiday) Start of employment etc...
Bank statements 6 months (activity averaging about 15,000,000 (about £14,000) incoming within that period and out going as well not all at once steadily)
