wife refusal

When i applied for my wife visa and she got refused i have looked at what you gave as edvience and i noticed i only gave them 6 months payslips and no bank statements and an invitation letter has my sister was sponsoring her to come here and i did not give the sponsor form vho7 (i think it is) has i only seen it here since i joined here and did not know about it, has i had only just started work.i did not summit anything from my wife has she has no work and i support her and her family, i was wondering if she could have the family home deeds put in her name if it would show her family ties and a letter saying i support her family and i would presonally take her to airport so she will not overstay has later in life we would like to apply for spouse visa and not want it to go against her if leave late. what else you think be good to give them has to help my visa. thanks for all the help has it helping me to know more for next time when applying.

This was for a visit type visa?

Yes. These are tricky and unpredictable in outcome. As Timmers pointed out, there are a few current threads on this topic right now.

Sorry JohnAsh i should have put that in, yes it was for the visit visa.

Yes. You may have seen them. But here is recent thread....

Presumably they gave their reasons?

If so you can use them to help you dust yourselves down and try again. Using Bigmacs philosophy.

Deano there is no rhyme or reason with this from there perspective being married is a major negative since there is no real incentive (in there eyes ) to return regardless of the reality, you can keep paying and you might get one or end up with several refusals , better to concentrate on getting your income level up to a spouse visa level or the Singh route in my opinion

Thanks for that, i will not rest till my wife and son are here with me, like you say its just potluck, when one says no another might say yes.

Yes the main reasons they say refused was not showing finiacal requirements from my sister just the payslips and say how can you have a 6 month holiday it shows you not have any family commitments back home.

Yes, bearing in mind what Keith says, there is scope for beefing a second application up. But yeah, Keiths right, you wouldnt want to be banging out a whole stream of applications, just to see them refused.

i'm afraid the case worker will simply see it as trying to bring your wife--and child--over on a cheap visit visa---and it will never happen. got to go the settlement route. or--really swot up on surinder singh.

or--would it be feasible for you to live over in the filis part of the year ?

Thanks for that Bigmac.

So you think because i am married it would be difficult to get them over on a visit visa then.

I am sure I have come across succesful cases. But I guess it can make it harder to convince them.

UKVI will wonder why your not going for a settlement visa.

you may not know--but when the new rules came in--july 2012---there were several THOUSANDS of settlement applicants on hold pending a high court test case over the earnings rules---which failed--so they all lost their visa application fees.

so--obviously--UKVI are very wary of any visit visa apps where the applicant is a spouse.--or partner.

My wife came over I think 3 times on a visit visa also my son but we had property in the Philippines so I think that helped. And I lived in the Philippines at the time so we came each year to visit family she had no problems with her visa.

Thanks for that Dublin boy has it gives me hope that 1 day she will get here too.

@ deano.:---the more i think about it--the more i think surinder has its merits in your case. have you got any friends--relatives--contacts in the EEA you could call in to help you get some kind of a job over there for--say six months ? and somewhere to live ?

yours is a prime case of the UK immigration rules splitting up a family----but--its the law now and we all have to live with it----and use any legal loop hole to our advantage. we are all rooting for you mate.

For me your post illustrates the ideal situation to be in when applying for a UK visit visa, unfortunately for the majority of UK visit visa seekers they do not have your background and family life in the Philippines.

For me personally I would like to see the onus of responsibility being put on the sponsor in the UK to make sure their visiting Filipina returns to the Philippines after their visit whether this is by the way of a financial deposit or some other way. As it stands at the moment most Filipinas cannot meet the criteria of a UK visit visa and never will be able to.

Like most people on the forum who have had visit visas declined I just wanted to show my wife my way of life before we applied for the settlement visa.

You would have thought that has they have the sponsor address on the form, if your wife not return on time they would just come to your home address and you would be in trouble has its common sense you would not let her leave late.
