We planned to get my wife parents(in-laws) to visit us in UK. The case worker has rejected their visa based on Immigration rules V 4.2 (a, c, e). Please see the refusal letter below.
Here the case worker as mistook the amount stated for the trip will personally cost as INR 5,00,000.00 (£6016.85) instead of what is mentioned in the application as INR 50,000.00 (£601.68).*** Refusal Letter ****
I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of appendix V, immigration rules for visitor visa.
You have applied for a visit visa with your spouse in order to visit your daughter in the UK for 3 months and 12 days. While the acknowledge the importance of maintaining family ties, I note the following reasons which form the basis of the refusal of the application:
You have stated that you are self-employed and that your job-title is Business. You state that from this employment you derive an annual income of £5,473.50 (INR 4,54,848.00). How ever your documents as well as your answers in your application provide no further insight into your employment. This causes to doubt your intensions.
You have stated that the trip will personally cost £6016.85 (INR 5,00,000.00)
As an evidence of personal finances you have submitted the following bank details in your name
Bank balance - INR 6,38,267.75 (£7680.36).
However given the ambiguity surrounding your employment and income, I am not satisfied that the funds evidence within the account provided are available to you for your exclusive use in the UK.
You have provided little evidence of your own personal circumstances and as a result I am not satisfied that you have demonstrated enough fixed social and economic ties in India to warrant your departure from the UK at the end of your proposed visit.
Taking all the above into account, I am therefore not satisfied that you are a genuine visitor who will leave the UK at the end of your visit or who is genuinely seeking entry for a purpose that is permitted by the visitor routes or has sufficient funds to cover all reasonable costs in relation to their visit without working or accessing public funds. This includes the cost of the return or on-ward journey, any costs relating to dependants and the cost of planned activities such as private medical treatment. I am also not satisfied that your travel, maintenance and accommodation can and will be provided to support you for your intended duration of your visit by a third party. I have refused your application in accordance with paragraph V4.2 (a, c, e) of the immigration rules.
Future Application
Any future visa application you make will be considered on their individual merits however you are likely to be refused unless the circumstances of your application change.
In relation to this decision there is no right of appeal or right to administrative review.
*** end of letter***
I have mentioned in the application that the other person who is going to sponsor their visit is myself and £1500.00 for their 3 months 12 days visiting costs. Case worker has not considered my documents at all.
I have also mentioned in the Invitation letter that I will be sponsoring their accommodation, travel and maintenance costs.
I have already purchased their on-ward and return journeys but not submitted their tickets as in the supporting documents it clearly mentioned not to submit their flight tickets.
As we would like to sponsor them totally, I just put INR 50,000 just in case if they want to bring little amount with them for their own purposes. This was mistook by the cases worker as INR 5,00,000.00 which is more that their income they receive annually (INR 4,54,848.00).
My Father-in-law runs a shop in India. (self-employed). I have provided their income-tax returns and audited annual returns for last financial year - 2016-2017. I have also provided CA letter showing their financial summary, Civil Engineer valuation report of their fixed assets and 1 year bank statements. And My Father-in-law also mentioned in his covering letter that he has to return to India to run his own business (shop).
From my self I have submitted,
Invitation letter (stating accommodation is self sufficient, and will support for all their visit costs)
Business bank statements,
Bersonal bank statements,
Accountant letter
Payslips
Invoices
Dividend vouchers
Council tax bill
My UK passport copy
My Wife passport copy.
After all these documents, they got refused due to mis read by the case worker that their trip cost is INR 500000.00. Also mentioned in refuse letter that we cannot appeal or administrative review. How could they do this type of accounting mistakes and not double check carefully in application what is mentioned before rejecting.
Could anybody please advise us how to approach in this situation. We are thinking to re-apply but as it was refused once, I think we already lost 50% of success in the next application. Could anybody guide us as to what else need to be submitted in the above documentation which have to prove that they have ties to come bank. They genuinely have a shop to come and run, they have two sons (one working in India) and the other is working in USA. Can we submit their details ? If so what details.
Please help. Sorry for this big post.
Thank you.
