UK Family Visa Refusal Notice

[Pedige]

HI All,

I applied for family visit visa from Sri Lanka and it got refused. Please find below the refusal notice. Can I reapply with strong evidence and explanations. Please advise.


I do think the decision is unfair due to following reasons.
1. Even though the ECO stated the family ties in my country outweighed by the fact that my husband is living in the UK the person circumstances are depends on the individuals choices.
a) I'm a professional person in my country who has developed my carrier in Chartered Accountancy and I'm member of Institute of Chartered Accountants of my country.
b) I have progressed to my career and from the financial Accountant to Manager Finance over four years in my current working place and I have a steady career in my country.
c) I have no intention of jeopardising my career which I build over the years.
d) I'm well educated and been paid a substantial salary according to my countries standards.
e)Regarding the partnership business
- My father is only a shadow partner in the business all executive and account/ business decisions are made and execute by me.
-My father is 64 years old and in declining health due to his age.
- He cannot manage the business himself.
f) I have strong family bonds with my mother , father , brother and his fiancée.
g) I'm the eldest of the family as such in my country tradition I'm expected to look after and take care of my parents and my sibling.
2.On the refusal notice ECO has stated that as per my husband's immigration history he was served with form IS151A on 06/11/2012 as a Section 10 overstayed under the 1971 Immigration Act
a)Although he's served under above Act he subsequently appealed that decision against the home office and the home secretary.
b) The appeal Judge has satisfied that he has made a personal life in UK and contributed to the country. Therefore he is considered as a law full stayer in UK.
c) The reason for home office to serve with above overstay notice is that the home office did not made a decision in light of his previous appeal few years ago in timely manner.
Due to above reasons I feel that refusal notice is unfair.

Appreciate your advise for me to reapply.

My 2 cents

I would say its absolutely impossible to obtain a visit visa if your husband was living in the uk no matter what other family ties you show within home country. We have seen similar refusals in this forum.
This gets even more difficult as your husband was found to have overstayed.

IMHO, you will be wasting your time/money by re-applying a visit visa.
Either you need to apply for a dependent/spouse visa or he needs to visit you
