I am shattered 😭.
My mom's visit visa application was refused today. I got the refusal mail this night. I submitted my payslip and husband's payslip, our account statements showing close to 11k pounds, my mom's account statement showing 1.5m, infact enough documentation from my end. Her reason for visit is to come see her first grand child as I put to bed 2 months ago.

We challenged the ECO decision last month for reconsideration, like I said previously it is not all the ECO that knows what he or she is doing, some roasted me for that statement, I have seen so many refusals that made absolute no sense, they are humans, they have hormones too we have the bad eggs among them who just refuse you based on flimsy excuse(s).
I didn’t take the second refusal likely, as there was no difference between the previous refusal which was last year, and the this recent one and it is based on financial grounds( enough sufficient funds with proof). (Looked more like a copy and paste to me ) Pre action protocol (PAP) was sent to the home office giving them 14days to reconsider before taking it further to court for JR.
They responded on the 14th day and yes a senior caseworker in his/ her right senses looked at the evidence submitted and he/she did agreed it was sufficient enough to grant the entry clearance visiting visa in the first place.
If we had accepted fate and re - apply the third time it MAY be refused again and that is too much dent, although they claim every new application(s) is decided based on its merit but I do not want to believe they do not look at your past history with them in concluding.
So fingers crossed on when my aunt and her children will be asked to bring their passports, it shouldn’t take up to 3months sha.
Sometimes you just have to push some buttons.
Don’t let the refusal bring you down, but first, do the right thing.
And good luck to everyone.

Hello.
How do I challenge my mother's own. On the refusal letter they said I can't appeal or request for administrative review.
This was the reason for refusal

Even September ending is 1m and above

giselle237:
hello
They will not ignore her personal circumstances and use your circumstances to judge if they will give visa. It’s the applicant’s circumstances in their home country that counts.
U need to show her ties to Nigeria which u did not.
U banked on the fact that you have money in your account and so they shud give her visa. It doesn’t work that way. Sorry. They need to be sure she has things doing in Nigeria or ppl in Nigeria that will cause her to return. U need to work on that.
Then loading her account with 1.5million is not goin to work in solitary. Explain her own situation to them.

Hi Giselle237
I just want to find out whether there was any issue with using Fidelity statement from the mobile app? Did you get visa with it? I saw your post in June where you were asking if you could use it for visa application?

jesufifunmi:
Can I apply for a UK visa more than 3 months in advance (can I apply on , say, September 1and put my arrival date in UK as Jan 1 for example). I have already submitted the application and my biometrics appointment have been made.What do you advise I do?

giselle237:
Me asking? Can’t be me. I also didn’t apply for visa application in June or July or before then.
You are free to use mobile app statements. I know this and wouldn’t have been asking such.

Nanorest:


It's not. It depends on where you are looking

Marriage to visa application = 6months
Can the couple apply for the visa together as main applicant and dependant? If yes, what documents can be used to prove they've been together for 2years?How much is the visa and health surchage?

giselle237:
For UKVI as long as you are married you don’t have to prove your relationship according to duration, you just need to prove that the marriage is a genuine one and subsisting.

nwaogukings03:
Thanks

giselle237:
If you have already submitted and made biometrics appointment then you have already applied. You are only waiting to give your fingerprints
