Good evening everyone! Please I need help as I am currently in a dilemma with UKVI issues.

@dduchess90, @justwise or anyone with advice on this issue please.

I moved with my spouse to another African country about 2 years ago after he got a better job offer here. We are blessed with 3 kids aged 8, 6 and 2. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a job here, (the country has a small economy), so I decided to switch careers to give myself a better chance of getting a good job.

I then applied for an MSc in the UK, and was able to secure admission, get my CAS and apply for my visa. We also applied for dependent visas for our kids but not for my husband, considering he has a good job which would also fund the expenses for myself and the kids. He also has a subsisting visit visa.

However, we received the notification email today that 2 of our kids' visas were denied dependent visas based on Paragraph ST34.2 of the Immigration rules and based on the following statement: " I am not satisfied that the required level of documentation has been shown in order to prove that your mother has sole responsibility. " We are yet to receive any information on the application of the 2 year old.

Please bear in mind that the supporting documents for the kids' visa applications were from both parents and we even indicated in their forms that we both have parental responsibility for the kids. I do not have sole responsibility for the kids, neither did I claim that in our applications. We also included details of my husband's job and the necessary documents pertaining to that.

In applying for the visas, we read all the requirements on the GOV.UK website but none of the information on the student visa/dependent partner of a student/ dependent child of a student mentions anything about this issue.

Now, we are at crossroads because based on this rule, the interpretation is that the other parent, who is not the main applicant must be willing to be a dependent, which would necessitate them living in the UK with the main applicant and the child dependent(s). This is not an option for us. Also, the kids cannot remain with my husband due to the nature of his job, as it requires a lot of travelling and we do not have any form of social/family support here, as all our family members live in different countries.

The only exception to this rule is subparagraph (C) of Paragraph ST34.2 of the Immigration rules which states that, "unless the decision maker is satisfied that there are serious and compelling reasons to grant the child entry clearance or permission to stay with the parent who
has permission on the Student route or as a dependent partner of a Student."

We do not know what to do next, whether to write to the Home Office directly, apply for an administrative review or reapply for the visa based of the provision in subparagraph (c) as we do not know if our situation constitutes serious and compelling reasons to grant the exception. So far, what I have read online depicts circumstances that are very different from ours.

Please, help a sister! I am trying to be a supportive wife, good mother and still want to build a life for myself. Please anyone with any advice/experience on how to tackle this issue. I would deeply appreciate it. May God bless our hustle!

Have you gotten offer letter from SHU for January? When did you apply please?

ConfusedSailor:

Oh okay, thanks. I applied early July.

justwise:


What care plan did you make for your kids in the UK?

abuhusna1:
Don't stress it. Children can't be given visa without the father going with you according to their law except yoy have proof of sole responsibility. Best is you all apply together husband goes with you and co.e back same week to his good job.

Gift7428:

I got in touch with a UK based lawyer. According to him, all you needed was a consent letter giving strong reasons why your husband cannot move with you guys.

Did you submit a consent letter, signed by your and your husband? The letter was meant to explain that you will have sole responsibility of the kids for the period of your masters. Get in touch with a good lawyer
I don’t even understand why they want to force people to move with MA for masters.

Hello

Unfortunately there's nothing more to add to this, the rules are clear.

UK doesn't joke with child welfare and work/family balance.How will you the MA take care of 3child dependants whilst studying?

Writing to HO or administrative review will only waste more time if the compelling reasons are not justified.

You do have the right intention for yourself but the focus is on the kids. Your have to reapply for their visa along with their father.

Cheers

Good morning pals.

Hello


Here's a link that might be helpful


https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits/getting-your-brp-if-you-applied-from-outside-the-uk

Where did you request for your BRP to be sent? if it is your Uni do inform your International office about this so they are aware and confirm they will issue your brp to you

I believe you can come with just the visa vignette.
Can you screenshot and print out all the evidence to log this complaint either through UKVI paid mail or this link above just incase you need it at POE

Cheers

kulex2k1:
Not true, once they get a collection email the visa is ready and if they had earlier signed to pick up the passport themselves. They can go pick it up.

Thanks, i have sent a paid mail to the UKVI office and i was asked to wait for 15 working days before i get a response. I'm just trying to be positive. If they wont ask for it at the point of entry then i can be much calmer.

I got my visa fee weeks back but it did not come with the brp letter….. plz if you can help or what did I need to do to get my brp letter

Thanks

Greengage:


Thank you for responding. Unfortunately I am not sure if applying with their father will not complicate matters more due to the fact that he does not intend to live with me in the UK. The immigration rules (ST 32.5) states that "The applicant and their partner (who must be a Student, or applying at the same time as a Student) must intend to live together throughout the applicant’s stay in the UK."

There is no way to circumvent that rule as that would most likely land us into more trouble. I would need to focus on being granted an exception based on the third leg of the rules.

dettolgel:
Please I need your suggestions.

My cousin is studying in the UK but the company were she works as a student was to convert her to full time. They sent her a form to fill and one of the questions was how she intend to run a full time job given that she is still a student.

I don't know the best answer to give her please anyone with suggestions on what her response should be should please help. Thanks a lot.
