Please don't get me wrong just wondering why do yu always ask the time and method of RFC?

Fell sorry for those who get refused after so long time wait
If you don't mind my friend why the refused your application did they give you any resin

Lack of relationship evidence, basically I didn't send any communication records.

hi guys now that my wife got her visa i would like to share some info about my case.

-i don't really earn 18k+-
-my wage slips where showing i earn 400+ a week but i only put £300 in every week cash-
-i didn't even pay my last 3 month tax-
-also my 6 month bank statement start with only £100 and ended with 9,000-
-i gave 6 month wage slips which 2 where below 1550-
-printed out over 6 month Lycamobile calls for proof of communication-
-all my documents where 1 month old meaning 28 days old-

so if i still got visa granted am sure people here with much better cases should also get RFC and get their spouse visa too.

also i work as a phone and pc repair guy making only £250 a week but i have saved a lot of money since i got married.

Hi guys

Looking for advice.. I know this is a timeline only post thing but I'm stuck and need some advice

Basically we applied in June this year.. In sept we got a letter saying our paperwork was over 1 month old n to send recent paperwork. But they did have recent paperwork, they just didn't look at the dates in correct order.. Anyway we sent paperwork again up until may 2013.. They acknowledged it was received but nothing since..

I got my MP involved and they have managed to get me a personalised response.. Basically I don't earn 18.6K so I need 28.8k in savings, but between feb and may my savings fell to 26.9k.. (I have been gifted money and borrowed money as u can imagine) .. Due to this they have put my case on hold just because I fell short by just under 2k..

Now on the letter I received, the embassy have put my wage incorrectly (they used an old figure I was on, which is higher than what I am on now)

Someone recommend that I make my savings what they say and wait 6 months and put in another application.. But then someone recommends just waiting as if they r reviewing the law in march it will be 6 months by time a decision is made and I will just waste time/money in putting a new application in..

I am really stressed out by this.. As everyone knows I went I Pakistan in September in the hope I would return with hubby, but I gave up and returned to UK last week .. My husband sold his business before I got to Pakistan because we were hoping we would return together..

I don't know what I should do next.. My MP advised best thing to do is wait as they are only 'holding' the case due to financial requirement and if I apply again they may pick up on something else.. But what if the law doesn't change?

So confused.. So stressed.. So upset

18600 is a lot to expect someone to earn, unless ur doing something professional it isn't easy.. I have a friend who has recently secured a position as a junior accountant and even she isn't earning 18000.. It's daft!

This is really stressful i can imagine I got married one year b4 n dat time my wife wasnt earning 18,600 dats y it took us long to apply . now she's earning over 18,600 n I applied in Sep, 2013.
If u dont c any way to prove dem abt it den i think only thing u can do is wait am sorry. n dis is really a height ov cruelty dat one shud b rich to get marry . I heard court wil decide in march so it's 4 and half months to go and meanwhile try to do maintenance fing, i mean to apply again if rules doest change.

Salaam, i know how you feel exactly, i am also on hold and confused as to what to do..

The law change is not guaranteed in March, what if we wait that long and it doesnt get changed such a waste of time. After the court hearing in March, no one knows how long the judgement will take, even after the judgement is given who knows how long it will take to be implemented? So easy 6-8 month process if not more i believe. As well as this the government may appeal decision of the judicial review, meaning longer process.

So basically there is no set answer to ur question. If i was you i would start preparing for a new application JUST IN CASE the law doesnt change, that way you will have a back up plan and can re-apply if you need to. Better be safe than sorry.

I have to wait another 6 months too show proof of continuous employment as my recent payslips have some breaks in between too. I do dua law changes but if it doesnt then atleast i know i'll have something to fall back on. Either way our spouses i dout are going to be here any time soon.

its really upsetting and stressful as to how we can be penalised as we dont earn a certain amount - i mean how is that a fair reason to keep us away from our loved ones..

HI , Got the REFUSAL Today on some very stupid grounds.

1) Financial Requirements
2) English Language

For Financial requirements I sent all the documents (Self Employed + Company Directorship) , I was SE for the last 3 years with income over 27K, and last year started trading under the company.

For English Language my wife has done MSc and we also submitted letter from the uni saying the course was taught in English and UK NARIC comparability statement as well.

I think the ECO was not paying the attention as I submitted each and everything needed, in English Language Refusal he said "/or DO Not Hold any academic qualification recognized by UK NARIC to be equivalent to the standard of bachelor or Master degree or PHd in the UK and confirmed by them as taught in English".

I submitted UK NARIC certificate which clearly states that the Master degree was equivalent of UK Bachelor Degree standard.

They gave me right of appeal but I think I should send them a Review request first as its just a lame refusal , what do you think ?

[RZ Girl]

None as yet from me.. yourself RZgirl?

Nah nothing just got a standard reply that my case is underprocess n they will make a decision as soon as they can after all checks hv been made n cannot give a precise timeframe

[numan4040]

All the people who dont make enough income they should use ss route or eea route very easy and simple and fast good luck for every one hope every one get visa asap inshallah

I am considering that route. Have you used it or do you know anyone who has? I wonder what country is best for that?

[ALWAYSHOPE]

To Mustang

Sorry to hear about your refusal. I know exactly how you will be feeling because my husband was also refused in the past. Unfornuately we didnt win our appeal at the hearing which is why we applied for fresh application.

Best thing you should do is if you think you can win your appeal then go for reveiw first. However BHC are lazy that for majority of people they do not review applications instead just send appeal bundle back saying they are short staffed.

I know they do this because they did that to our application and our refusal reason was very minor and people with same refusal had decisions overturned at review or won appeal. So its all about luck.

Sorry to have heard about your refusal, write a covering letter detailing all the rules etc for self employed and tell the ECM you have been treated unfair but make sure you back up your points from their rules. Hopefully the ECM will overturn the ECO decision if they have made a mistake.
