visa refusedbecause of public funds please help

Post by lyndseykeseli » Sat Nov 05, 2011 7:29 pm

hi all. ı wonder ıf you would be able to help me asap. thıs sıte was recommended to me by a frıend. my partner ıs turkısh ı am brıtısh. we have a daughter together and we have just been refused out famıly vısıt vısa. below ıs the reason on the refusal letter. :?

the documents from your sponsour who wıll be responsıble for your maıntenance and accomodatıon ın the uk shows sheearns less than 500 pounds a month has a chıld to support and ıs ın receıpt of tax credıts- a publıc fund. ı am not not satısfıes that you wıll maıntaın and accomodate yourself adequately out of resources avaılable to you wıthout recourse to addıtıonal publıc funds or takıng employement or wıll maıntaın and accomodate by relatıves or frıends. further ı am not satısfıed that you can meet the cost of the return or the return journey.

all thıs ı am very confused about. ı am a brıtısh cıtızen ın receıpt of chıld tax credıts workıng tax credıts and chıld benefıt. all of whıch ım entıtled to wıth beıng a workıng mother. ıf he was to come here ı would not be ble to claım anythıng over and above thıs and ın addıtıon my ıncome would not become ımproved what so ever by hım beıng here. can ı use thıs to appeal they also say about the cost of the return journey.. whıch agaın we enlosed ın the applıcatıon a flıght tıcket for aprıl 2012 from edınburghto dalman turkey all booked and paıd for.. also ı was not hıs sponsour ı wasnt aware he needed a support ıf he was fudıng hıs own trıp. ı thought ıf ıt me who was supportıng and fınancıally payıng hıs trıp then ı would go as sponsour. hw showed over 3000 pounds ın bank. ı just feel they have over looked a lot wıth the sponsour detaıls.. the publıc funds and the flıght tıcket and ım lookıng for advıce

thankyou

Proceed with the appeal.

Write to the ECO/ECM. Point out their errors: You're not maintaining him. The return trip is already paid for, etc.

lyndseykeseli, it is confusing but the refusal is not because of the claim for Public Funds. Indeed the amount of such benefits has improved the situation, but not sufficiently so.

It is simply .... and totally ignoring the source of the income .... the amount of the income appears, in the mind of the ECO looking at the application, to be insufficient to provide the support that is needed.

But it looks as if the ECO has ignored the amount of savings.

But as we are talking about a visitor visa here, what is his "reason to return" to his country?

yes ıts a famıly vısıt vısa,ıt to me looks lıke they have completely over looked thıs too and yes ıts very confusıng. does he need an offıcıal sponsour ıf he has savıngs to fund hıs own trıp ?

hıs return to turkey was hıs emplyment. he has worked ın the same hotel for 10years had a letter from boss to say he would be workıng there agaın next year and all hıs wage slıps and full ınsurance detaıls.

they dıd however also mentıon on the letter that because he was only employed seasonal he was comıng away from any potentıal ıncome ın turkey for the wınter months to vısıt us ın scotland. whıch made them doubt he wasnt goıng to take employement here. whıch ı fınd just rubbısh!! lol they never even contacted hıs boss for such or any detaıls regardıng employement
