Pakistan UK Spouse visa appeals

Migrant workers will need to earn at least £35,000 to qualify for settlement in the UK, says the Home Office.
Home Secretary Theresa May said the change - from April 2016 - would help cut the number of and their dependants granted settlement each year from 60,000 to 20,000.
The pay threshold will apply to people wanting to remain permanently after more than five years working in the UK.
Those who don't qualify will be ordered to leave the UK after six years.
The pay threshold is the first time that a British government has imposed an economic test on the right to settlement in the UK. For decades, settlement has been granted on the basis of length of time living in - and ties to - the UK, recognising that people who have been living in the country for five years have made it their permanent home.
Prime Minister David Cameron says he wants to reduce annual net migration to "tens of thousands" from the current level of around 250,000.
It is aiming to bring the figure, which includes students and the families of visa holders, to below 100,000 by 2015 - a year before the latest restriction is due to come into force.
'Brightest and best'
In a written statement to Parliament, Mrs May said: "Until now, settlement has been a virtually automatic consequence of five years' residence in the UK as a skilled worker. Those who have settled have tended to be less well paid and lower-skilled than those who have not.
"And the volumes of migrant workers settling have reached record levels in recent years."
According to official figures, in 1997 fewer than 10,000 migrant workers and their dependants were granted settlement, but by 2010 this had risen to 84,000.
Mrs May said: "So in future, we will exercise control to ensure that only the brightest and best remain permanently."
The £35,000 earnings threshold will be waived for any "shortage occupations" if official advisers tell ministers that the UK needs more workers with skills or training.
Scientists and researchers in PhD level jobs will also be exempt from the earnings test.
Nicola Dandridge of Universities UK, said: "The government has responded to the concerns... by exempting PhD-level jobs from the new pay threshold for settlement.
"We argued strongly that such international academics and researchers should be made exempt from any pay threshold on the basis that their salaries are not comparable to those of highly skilled migrants working in other sectors.
"If we are to continue to produce Nobel Prize-winning research and groundbreaking work, we must offer a welcoming environment to the best academics from around the world."
The government says it will also restrict the arrival of foreign domestic workers to those who are travelling with their employers, such as diplomats or business people temporarily working in the UK.
Mrs May said: "We recognise that the ODW (overseas domestic worker) routes can at times result in the import of abusive employer/employee relationships to the UK.

You guys seriously need to reconsider who you go to for immigration advice.

The requirement after 2.5 years for spouses to extend their visa are £18,600. Same as when you first apply. However, income from both partners are accepted. Which makes it easier

The 35k requirement after 5 years applies to Tier 2 (work permit) visa holders.

Spouse visa do not fall under Tier 2.

[stillwaiting123]

this is utter bullshit even with the help of my MP still nothing!!!

he got a reply back from the Executive officer at the HM courts & tribunals service :

sorry for taking so slong blah blah can't give exact date blah blah high demand on tribunal service blah blah appeals can take upto 12 months some cases longer.

But you knew this before you even appealed, that cases can take up to a year plus.

My suggestion to you and stillwaiting123 was to reapply. By now both spouses would have probably been granted visa and settling in the UK. But obviously if one can afford paying the application fees again. If not, then appealing is the best, but slow process.

stillwaiting123 is still waiting, but she's decided to reapply.

You should join the Facebook group, if you haven't, it's good and active.

Everything happens for a reason inshallah reapplying next week everyone please keep me in your duas! 3rd application with priority service

This has nothing to do with spouse visa as fellow forum friends have confirmed and i think as ppl are stressing out over appeals and hearings/reviews it's better to confirm ur information before scaring everyone its a long process as it is ppl dont need more stress - and i would definitely say that ur solicitor shud know better than to give u false information regarding extension of a spouse visa.

No offence, but "complicated" cases don't really get overturned at the reviewing stage. It's not upto the solicitor to determine whether or not you deserve the visa, it's upto entry clearance officers or the judge handling the case. It's nice of your solicitor to help as much as he did, and you're right, many solicitors don't bother, but please don't mislead people by saying your refusal was overturned because of the determination of your solicitor, as they don't have an influence over the decision. Your refusal was overturned because the eco felt they made a mistake, and you did deserve that visa. Alhamdulillah, you're very lucky.

Visa got refused in november 2015
So from december 2015 to the day visa was overturned
I have been paying my solicitor these fees
£500 for 2 hour visit in a day

So you paid total of £565 ?

At lest the visa was finally granted, so that's great.

No it wasnt that cheap
Lol
I appealed in december
3 times a week i paid for couple of hours £500
Emails fone calls
Writing letters
My solicitor visit with me to our MP
No it wasnt cheap
The cost is in thousands
Not just hundreds
Every thing solicitor did he got paid
But all the expense was worth it

I did not write it was my solicitor that overturned
The decsion
You are not understsnding the words
Determination is my solicitor was not slacking
He did more then othrr solocitors
His help was much appriciated
He helped alot
Yes my case was complicated
And BHC coundnt proove what they wrote for
Refusel
it took a while to get this paperwork sorted
And with my solicitors determintion we won the reveiw
Some solicitors sit there when u call they give you
A pathetic answere all they want is paying
Some solicitors reallly help and are determind
To win the case
He did everything yes i paid him
But it was worth it
Please beena read the comments properly

I did read the comments properly. Maybe you didn't use the correct vocabulary in order to express your feelings.

No hard feelings! We're all here to help one another.
