Is this an application for you within the UK?

What is your UK immigration history?

For an Appeal if you get appeal rights?? Appeals can take months and sometime a year or more.

Your marriage conducted under Islamic law in UK won't be valid and despite your partner is meeting financial requirement the criteria won't be met. Maybe you even not qualify for flrfp and that's why its a refusal.

FLR(FP) wouldn't be an option as the Spouse visa application is from outside of the UK. :idea:

OP seems in UK as an overstayer unless he clearly confirms that he left the UK and if so then as most of us know that flrfp is not possible from outside the UK.

Now you have clearly clarified. Yes your marriage will be accepted by UK law because conducted in Bangladesh. The reason you was told flrfp because your query was not clear as you left the UK rather was giving the sense that you are an overstayer and applied from UK and many times if deem necessary then UKVI divert the flrm into flrfp if they seems is appropriate. In your case the refund of ihs seems refusal unless by mistake you were charged twice the IHS.

So far its only the prediction that you might have been refused but usually in case of refusal the applicant is notified first before the refund of IHS. In my opinion you just need to wait n see and regarding appeal timeline you can search several threads on same forum.

There's no exact way to know. Normally, Sheffield notifies you about the refusal by a letter, but in rare cases (like mine) you might get an email. Keep an eye on your phone and email, as there's no much you can do. You can also contact your VFS centre where you submitted your biometrics to ask if there are any updates. Unfortunately, it seems like your visa has been refused.

It really depends on the grounds for the refusal. If it was due to something really complex, a hearing can take up to months (even a year). If the refusal was Home Office's mistake or it was a straight forward case, it can be solved quite fast.

I presume my visa has been refused. Did you received your decision by email? Did you have refund IHS before decision?
UKVI taking long send me the refusal letter that's why I'm worried!!
What was the ground of your refusal?

Yes, I got the decision by email. First I noticed the IHS refund, then I received my documents back but no refusal letter attached. Thus, I called the VFS centre and they told me the decision had already been sent by email (which is quite uncommon). My refusal was based on the English certificate for not having an UKVI number.

It seems your decision letter is getting longer than expected. I suggest you to call your VFS centre, just to make sure they haven’t got anything and forgot to inform you.

Spouse visa appeal

Post by Emon14 » Sat Feb 01, 2020 6:32 am

Hi everybody,

I hope everyone doing well and someone can give me advice about of my current situation.
My spouse visa was refused September 2019 lodge appeal against of the decision.
4th of October got letter from the court notice of appeal pending and HO given 15weeks time review them decision.
The last date was 30th of January 2020 we have not received any reply from Home office or the court.
Contact to the court 31st January said they did not receive any appeal bundle from the Home office. So they will listing the hearing date and send to us soon.
Anyone have idea still Home office will upload the decision or they will overturn the decision? Because Home Office did not send them bundle to the court yet.
Many thanks
Iqbal
