URGENT HELP PLEASE - UK Visa's
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:16 pm
Wow
I have been reading over this website and I am gutted i did not find it sooner!
okay where do i begin..
I am English born and bred, 32 years old and live in Greece with my Georgian wife who is 22.
We have been married since may 2012
July 5th 2012 we applied for the Spouse visa and paid the 1000 euro fee
Last week it was REJECTED
I originally sent the following
My bank details showing 12,000 GBP
A letter from my mother and father saying we can live at their 3 bedroom house for as long as we want and that they will support us 100%
(we also included copies of the house deed's NO mortgage )
My mother and fathers income - showing 3000 a month + 1000 from pensions + state pensions
(my father also included details of his pensions from Gov work)
My Mother and fathers Bank Details showing 150k in saving's
My wifes English results (she passed narrowly, but did pass)
NOTE- she speaks perfect English, but the test was freaking hard!!!!!
Marriage Certificate, translated and apostile stamped
letter from solicitor and translated.
Her Georgian passport.
Proof of ownership on x2 cars worth in total about 14,000GBP
(Toyota Rav4 and Nissan X trail)
all copies of my i.d and all forms for me and my mum n dad
I also stated 4 times on the Application that we live together or that i was NOT IN THE UK
------------------------REFUSAL---------------------------------------------
In your application, you state that it is your intention to join your husband, * ****
In order to satisfy the requirements under this heading, you must demonstrate that you intend to live permanently with your spouse, and that your relationship is subsisting. Other than a signed sponsorship undertaking, a photocopy of his passport and a copy of his bank statements, you have not provided any evidence of your husbands support of the application, or any evidence regarding circumstances in the UK, where it is noted he is currently unemployed.
although it is knowledge you have provided bank statements showing the transfer of 19,000 GBP this was largely due to his mother having paid the money into his account.
In the absence of any evidence regarding your husbands circumstances in the United kingdom or the subsistence of your relationship, I am not satisfied you intend to live permanently with your spouse.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have appealed against this and have put everything in the post on recorded delivery
My father has written a formal letter of complaint to UKBA
also to Parliment, he has a meeting with the local MP on 11th November
My friend who is a Sgt in the RAF has also written a complaint to UKBA urging them to reconsider.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday we goto Athens to apply for an EEA Family 6 months
I also now have a job offer printed off from my "friend" who owns a Bar
with his full contact details stating i start mid January, NOTE this is a job offer for me not for my wife
My wife has lived in Greece for 8 years, she has worked here for 4 years and previously went to School here.
Her mother also has full Greek Residency and has lived with her Greek partner (not married) for 12 years, -they get married 2013 finally !!!
But after reading over this website, I have got the impressions EVERYTHING is a load of bollocks
We may as well have just got in the car, driven to England and said
"Right, here's our passports here's our Marriage Certificate"
"Good'day sir"
Shall I keep on with my trip to Athens this weekend and WAIT for the f'ing EEA visa?
OR
CAN WE just jump in the car and head through Europe into England?
My wife IS a resident of Greece, although her new Greek immigration "married to EEA Citizen" papers are taking ages to come through
((this is due to UKBA keeping her passport for 3 months))
((further Due to Greek gov offices taking years to do anything))
Im down to my last 5k in saving, we are stressed and fed up
we just want go live in the uk and settle down
What should i do ?
a trip to athens is going to cost at least 400 euro's this weekend
and then what we wait 3-6 months for a reply????
Love you all
