[m_sudhakar24]

Hi , i am in UK on Tier 2 Work Permit Visa and applied for Tourist visa for my WIfe ( she is housewife completed her BHMS five years back), they took 3 weeks and finally it came as Refused and comments are not understandable, can somebody help me on like what is missing in Application documents

In Order to assess your intentions in the UK I must consider your personal circumstance and i note that your husband is working in the UK and has a tier 2 intercompany transfer short term staff migrant visa valid until 24/06/2014. you have stated you are a Housewife and that you are financially supported by your husband and you have a child who will not be travelling with you. i am not satisfied from the evidence currently submitted that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit as stated by you and do not intent to live for extended periods in the Uk througg frequent or successive visits or that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor for a period not exceeding 6 months ( paragraph 41(i)(ii) of HC 395).

She needs to show more of her social and economic ties to her homeland. Obviously the child will remain in her country and one might assume that this fact would motivate her return but, frankly, that is normal in some cultures (sometimes for years on end) with migrant parents so her potential to return to care for the child has not been deemed sufficient. How long did she actually state she would be visiting? The shorter the period the more convincing the application.

It was for 6 weeks only

Frankly it's a harsh decision as clearly a short visit by the wife of a temporary migrant worker (while leaving a child behind in school) is an appropriate visit, but I have not seen the scope of the evidence so it's not easy to say what can be done to rectify the situation for a new application. Concentrate on her ties to home and the needs of the child. As I said, leaving the kids to live with relatives for years on end is very common with migrant worker couples and so you have to dispose of those concerns by the UKBA.

I didnt Understand Dispose those concerns - i am not sure of what papers can be prepared for this.

Me neither, as I know nothing about your life. All you have said is that she was refused. I can't see what you submitted, or indicate what you omitted. Consider getting a UK-based immigration professional to assist you overcome this matter.

Thats true , Thanks for the response.

I submitted lot of papers like My Visa , work permit , my finanical details, marriage certificate, Invitation Letter, accomdation receipt , my son birth certificate ( 2.5 years old now) and my wife details like education certificate , Id Proofs , residential proof and her bank statements.

Focus on the child and her motivation to return to care for its needs.

Another alternative would be a PBS dependant visa but that would run entirely counter to her visit application. However, she may have no choice as the UKBA are already sceptical about her intentions, and it might be an easier application on that basis.
