Hi,
My wifes leave to remain visa has been refused and it says there is no right to appeal, is this correct?
She has had 2 previous leave to remain visas granted but when i applied for this one i used a visa application i had downloaded a couple of months previous not knowing the fees had gone up, by the time they got back to me and i had re-applied with the correct fee her current visa had expired and this seems to be the reason its been refused. What can we do?

when did u applied for leave to remain? is that FLR-M. i applied when my visa is nearly expired. but then it went back to me all the application bcoz theres no money in the account. So i applied again Oct which is my visa expired already had biometric done also an now waiting for approval letter.

Did u use FLR-M?

And did she has biometric done too? Before she was refused?

Yes it was an FLR M, and after we sent it we got the letter to do the Biometrics which she did so i assumed the application was going ok!

26 may so it took them 9 months to refuse it!

i wonder why they can tell early as the visa already expired. Stupid! u dnt have the right to appeal. I think ur wife needs to go home and reapplied on her own country. Did they say about that?

I'm going to get some legal advise on monday, i think she may have a chance as she did actually apply whilst her visa was valid but they said it was invalid as they had increased the price by £10-£15. If we had not applied at all until after it ran out i think she would have had to leave the country.

After talking to a couple of lawyers and being told the chances of getting the visa application through is quite slim we are going off to Thailand and doing a new application there. Nice to get a holiday but not good for my bank balance.
