I heared that batleykhan is man for this thread and truely helping hand.

Hi,

I applied HSMP on 22 May 2008 and got approval letter on 22 Sep 2008. During this period new Tier 1 rules applied and I have maintained funds and got EC on this letter on 2 Feb 2009.

Now my family applied for EC and they refused due to following reasons.

1) Bank statement was on original letter head with logo and stamp but not showing officer signature.
2) Secondly after checks my HSMP approval letter is not geniun.

Its mentioned that future applications may automatically refused due to false document for next 10 years.

I talked home office work permit today and they confirmed that they sent me HSMP letter on 22 Sep 2008 and I have also confirmed several things e.g address on letter and even he read the letter on phone and its there in their record.

If I will apply new application which I think would be refused as well due to false document as per EC officer. The only option left is to appeal I think.

Is there any way to get the verification from work permit in written form that my HSMP letter is geniun. Is there any one know a quick way to get this verification.

Secondly do I need to submit the bank statement submitted in initial application with all logo, stamp and signature or up-to-date statement.

Should I go for lawyer if my case is not easy if you think? Can workpermit.com help me for appealing this case?

What are the chances of wining an appeal?


Please suggest.

[ifti12]

Secondly they have retained my original HSMP letter as well. Its not there in the returned package. Any one has any idea why they have retained my original letter?

The appeal days 28 count start from the day I recieved application at local VAC or the date the visa was refused because it is refused 12 April and I received my family's passport today 29 April?

In shaa Allah my papers go off tomorrow afternoon and I'm not sure about this itemised list: http://www.ukvacpk.com/images/settlement.pdf

In the 'Financial Evidence' box is it referring to the applicant's bank statements or the sponsor's?

In the same box, is it referring to the applicant's income?


In the 'EEA Family Permit' - I'm a British citizen by birth, does the EEA passport bit apply to me?

With regards to other documents that are being submitted, do I just print off my contents list and attach it?

Would be really grateful if someone could shed some light on that for me

Just a quick question, Does the applicant have to submit his/her birth certificate when applying for the spouse visa? Or is the paasport and ID card sufficient?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

my birth certificate was messed up - so i was in ur position= the answer i was given & went with - u dnt need it as ur passport suffices as you can use that as an official proof of ur dob even when u start a job or wat ever-so why not here??

so yes exclude it and it shudnt harm the case#

[Suhaib 786]

Jazakullah to all sweet members in the room - may you all be blessed, and my du'a is Ya Allah may all the people who congratulated me and are in hardship with immigration - Oh Allah bless them like you have blessed me - and do according to your perfect timing- whether that be soon or delayed.

Sup dude...congrats on the wife's visa bro. In regards for the time to enter...check to see for how long her visa is valid for...it should be a 27 month visa...if that is the case, then she should enter within 3 months. If the visa that was issued is a 24-month visa (unlikely) then she should enter within 28 days.

I was issued with a 27 month visa on the 28th of Feb...and I entered in the 1st week of April...there was no hassle at all regarding my entry delay.

If you're handing in the original with the application then there is no need to get the photocopy attested. You should hand in a complete photocopy of your original file, so in effect you will be handing in 2 files. Your completed original file which will have attested copies of any documents which aren't origina(e.g the sponsors passport, title deeds, things like that). you should then make a copy of your original file (no need to get anything in that attested as they will have the original file) and submit that as well. Make sure you differentiate between the two files though as you don't want the ECO to get them mixed up. When my sister-inlaw when to hand in her application she didn't have photocopies of the documents she was submitting so the staff at Gerry's made her photocopy all documents. After your case has been decided the ECO will return the original file and keep the copy file for their reference (e.g if a case is refused, goes to appeal etc).
hope that helps and good luck.

You may have to be the first to post a review I'm going for it, it's only 3000PKR and if it means a smoother, cleaner experience then that will be worth it.
