Refusal of family visa, what to do next? PLEASE HELP

Post by alisha_niq » Tue Jun 16, 2009 9:32 pm

hello all,

slight problem, i was sponsoring my brother in laws family to visit us and have been informed it was refused due to accommodation. i had wanted to rent a home for short lease whilst they stayed here as our family home is a 3 bed detached semi and would be unsuitable to accomodate an additional 2 couples and 5 childre. i was advised against this by my solicitor.

what steps do i take next, because i really want them too visit. please advice as to whether i should appeal or ask them to reapply?

many thanks in advance

alisha

What is the exact wording on the Refusal Notice?.

How many are living in the house presently?.

Does the applicant have any other close relative beside you?.

If you can provide alternative accomadation without the need to rent it, then reapply rather than appeal.

Alternatively ask the applicant not to bring kids with him on the visit, just let him come with his wife maybe one child, but not all 5 of them.

there are 4 points made about refusal.

a) they are not satisfied they are geniune visitors as they are travelling as an entire family

b) they believe as my sis inlaw has 5 siblings in UK, they have no evidence that they will not seek leave here too

c) they do not believe there was sufficient evidence to indicate where there savings originated from

d) our accomodation. issue is there are 4 of us already living here in a 3 bed semi detached property. not enuf room for 7 more. i have stated family homes to support accomodation locally, but they are not convinced.

i can say 100% they have every attention to go back to pak. bro is in senior post in pak govt. children are private school educated. ou have my sis in laws parents there who are elderly and they are responsible to care for. there is no way ever they would desire to live here especially due to their high standard of living there.

no wat do i do?

If they are as well off as you are implying then why can't they just show their bank statements and then say that they're staying in a hotel instead of you sponsoring them?
