Why was the visa rejected? Did the Embassy give you a reason?

[swayze]

due to they said i will not be able to support her and they say that there is not enough proof that my savings may be spent lol
also that on the application we made mistake she put we see each other every day they took it as in the flesh we meny on cam lol

[KeithD]

You don't need a solicitor to appeal. You just correct the mistakes you made in the first one. It's free!

[James Hubbard]

Did you not have any "show money" borrowed to make it look like you had plenty of savings?

[swayze]

that may be so but the appeal form blew my head wen i saw it so i get sol to do it because they dont belive us and we are sick of waiting to be together now

[joebloggs]

do you work ? how much savings did you show on your bank statements ?
how long have you known each other and how many times have you met ?

where did you appeal to , phils or uk ?

that may be so but the appeal form blew my head wen i saw it so i get sol to do it because they dont belive us and we are sick of waiting to be together now

um have you even met her personally mr swayze or just on cam??

[swayze]

we first met on the net in march 2008 i stayed with her in cebu for 2 weeks in aug 2008 the date for visa to come in was aug 2009 when i took holiday for her to get ere, im electrician in full time work my bank account was in red at that time but ive thousands in savings on a savings plan account which i can get at any time

[whiteraven]

being in the red on your current account seems to affect the decision more than the savings.

[joebloggs]

:NoNo: overdrawn not a good idea, how can you suupport her and pay for flight, wedding, etc when your overdrawn?.. you should have put some of your savings in your current account..


an appeal process could take upto 6 months or even longer, always worth a try asking the ECO at the embassy to reconsider your visa app.

[swayze]

joe bloggs in can pay for flight etc and support her very well,the sol is asking first to reconsider app before appeal for us

[James Hubbard]

Joe, or others who can help::

how much should one show in current account statements to be enough?

thx

[KeithD]

Joe, or others who can help::

how much should one show in current account statements to be enough?

thx
Usually around £3000

[swayze]

look guys its not nice wen you start blaming each other for the reasons of rejection we love each other very much without doubt to each other and to see the women your going to marry cry it kills you so i need help to get her in my harms

[joebloggs]

joe bloggs in can pay for flight etc and support her very well,the sol is asking first to reconsider app before appeal for us

looking at your overdrawn bank statements doesn't show that...
have you appealled yet ? if so where ?


Joe, or others who can help::

£2,000+ would help with no or hardly any overdrawn bank statements, also showing your not sepnding more than you earn !

[James Hubbard]

Ahh cool, so in the 6 month bank statements I need to produce, just make sure they're at least 2k in credit? Ok cool, got that safely tucked away in the forefront of my brain ;) :)

salamat Joe!

ive appealed through solicitor a immagration solicitor supplied by welsh immagration gov group

Just found out I am illegal in Wales....:doh

Never got a visa....:omg:

[whiteraven]

swayze noone is blaming you or attacking your motives, just telling you how it is. i havent seen my wife since we were married last december as getting savings put away was the only way to be assured of a favourable outcome on our application. you will find the advice given by here by most members is better than you may get on the official websites. all the best on your appeal:xxgrinning--00xx3:

salamat Joe!

some people have managed to get a visa with no savings - but its better to reduce any risks of refusal as much as possible, by not sending overdrawn bank statements and having at least £2,000+ in the bank should get you thru the finance part. also you need to show you have a genuine relationship and for somewhere for her to live without overcrowding :xxgrinning--00xx3:


ive appealed through solicitor a immagration solicitor supplied by welsh immagration gov group

so you appealled in the uk ?
no one is blaming you or anyone :NoNo:

how many bankstatements were overdrawn ?

you may well win an appeal but if the ECO doesn't overturn it, you could be waiting a long time , could be as long as 6 months..

might be quicker to re-apply and cheaper if your paying a solicitor !

[James Hubbard]

that last bit sounds like a really good bit of advice from Joe. Don't pay solicitor. Jig your savings around, research and submit new application. Save you time and money :)

[swayze]

yes i appealed in the uk its quicker.by getting solicitor i think they ave more weight than i alone also we cant muck it up this way

[swayze]

plus ive allready paid the solicitor

[aromulus]

Doh.......:doh

Hi Swayze sounds to me if you have plenty of money in the bank and now your savings and incomings would easily support your wife so she is not a burden on the State when she moves over to the UK. Cancel the appeal and submit a new application it will cost but possibly be far quicker im thinking than waiting for an appeal.

Basically in the application your trying to say look we are in love, we are geniune and have met in person, I can look after her in suitable accomdation and support her with ease.

[James Hubbard]

I agree with "somebody"

From what you said swayze, the most important thing is that you can be together with your mahal.

I would third what Joe and Somebody said . . .

JimHubb

[swayze]

Doh.......:doh

you said ealier that you had no visa how is this possible and can it be done how

[aromulus]

Come to think of it.... :Erm:

Haven't even got a passport......:doh

[IainBusby]

As others have already said, overdrawn bank statements are a big no no. You need to show that, on paper, over a six month period you are solvent, ie more going in than coming out on most of the monthly bank statements. You don't mention whether you submitted evidence of you savings account as well, but if not, this is also something that would help a lot.

You may think that you are solvent, and given what you have said about your savings, I would probably agree, but the ECO would make his/her decision based on the evidence you sumbit and if the evidence he/she is given gives the impression that you are living beyond your means because you are regularly overdrawn, then he/she will normally decide that you probably won't be able to support your fiancee in the UK without recourse to public funds.

Iain.

i don't know about cancelling it, you might as well sort your bank statements out and see if your refusal is overturned b4 it goes to AIT, if its not overturned nothing to stop you getting ready to apply for a fresh fiancee visa with stronger evidence and good bank statements, then if you've not heard anything from your appeal and your ready for a fresh app, apply for a fiancee visa again then cancel your appeal.

Good point dont you have a small amount of time to appeal to the ECO your self? Before it goes to AIT.

So if your still in that timeframe it maybe a fairly quick process from what i have seen it seems its less hassle for the eco to approve rather than deny as less paperwork and effort in the long run

most on here have had to wait, i had been chatting to my now misses for more than 2yrs b4 we first met, then we had to wait more than 2yrs for her to finish uni and another 4 months wait for the spouse visa..

you'll get there in the end.. just like most of us, we've all had to sit and wait .. :NoNo:

[Mrs Daddy]

yeah!patience is a virtue :)

[whiteraven]

if your girlfriend sticks by you in the time it takes to get her here then she is cerainly worth waiting for:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[joebloggs]

I' no fan :rolleyes:, but my 9yr old gal was just listening to this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDW2BzJPtsE&feature=quicklist

They say that good things take time
But really great things happen in the blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you
Were a million to one
I can't belive it
You're one in a million


:D

[Ayjay]

yes maybe but i will let solicitor negotiate the eco to reconsider app ive paid them now.bt if it needs to go to court i willk poss not pay them to do so

Does you account clearly show monthly income.. about £3000 monthly income should do kit with no overdraft carried over into the following month(s).

You say you have plenty of income as an electrician.. are you self employed??

AJ

[James Hubbard]

£3,000 per month isn't necessary.

:xxgrinning--00xx3:, well its a minimum after rent and council tax..
but the more money you've got the better :D
but it be wise to show your balance is increasing each month, even if you have to live off friends and family or even your CC.:rolleyes: for a while..

Wasn't it mentioned a few years back that it was bascially income support amountamount per week or thereabouts which was used in appeals?

I think i worked on i needed at least 250 quid a month free after all my outgoings and what not free. please note this was about 5 years ago so the figure will be higher.

your right andy, its what you would roughly get on income support/job seekers allowence as that figure is what the gov says is the minimum you need to survive on, and some AIT judges use that figure as a minimum you need to support you and your spouse..

but its after you've paid rent and community charge not after you've paid everything..

so spouse visa is much easier jo than fianc visa then?

[James Hubbard]

I've heard that it is QueenB!

[whiteraven]

that was the advice i got queenie.

[babykie_star]

I felt so sorry and Im really sad for the result of your visa...and hope it wont affect the love you had together and just please dont give up on her...my husband and I have been together for almost 3 years now..but for all the cries,the ups and the downs that were not together were just keeping our hopes up
and finally we've got our spouse visa approved just 1 day and really GOD is listening..

and the miracle was he got no savings at all...but he is not over drawn tho. but we just explained everything and make that all highlighted..and be as specific with our papers as we can and make that all transparent for them aswell..through an advice of our Agent from the Uk...IVS..

tell your wife to speak to me..I'll do my best for her not to be sad....I am Chuckie from Cebu..:)

We just need to pray...:)

thanks for your kind words barbie.stiff upper lip lol.i will tell my partner to come to forum

[swayze]

hey guys whats the diff between visit and tourest visa
cause im thinking of getting one for my gal while we wait
i hears say that it is easier to get these like from singapore or somwere like hat

[James Hubbard]

her situation is truly wonderful. Swayze, I think that the best thing now for you to do is collate everything you have been advised here in this topic, and also, hit the search button, and check out all the past advice, and re-apply.

I hope you get the visa the next time. U just made a few "rookie" mistakes :)

[aromulus]

:omg:

lol..why whatz wrong aromulus???


:omg:

[joebloggs]

:yikes: you mean ive been living on baked beans for nothing? i listed everything including mobile phone, grocery etc. good job i didnt include credit card:D

not for nothing thats the minimum and they still might reject your app, i hope your on the supermarkets own brand of baked beans and not the up market heinz ones :rolleyes:

the more savings the better, last thing you want is a refusal and have to appeal or reapply again, the time, cost and heartache its not worth it :NoNo: get it right first time :xxgrinning--00xx3:

yes i appealed in the uk its quicker.by getting solicitor i think they ave more weight than i alone also we cant muck it up this way

i wouldn't bank on it swayze that your appeal will be dealt with quicker. based on my experience we did the same and we waited and waited until we got fed up. my sols then rang embassy and they said once an appeal is lodged in uk it's already beyond their control, they said it could take weeks, mos etc. so they said it's either we wait or file another app and we chose the latter; to be frank w/ you it was the best decision i've made. i'm not saying this would apply to you but i'm just citing myself as an example. and i was laughing when i already got my visa and i was in the uk when the tribunal (for my first appeal) from uk wrote a letter when in fact i have lodged in a new app and got denied, appealed at the embassy/eco and granted visa. moral of my story? if you can sort it out in the phils do it because it surely worked on me and it did shortened my waiting period. good luck :xxgrinning--00xx3:
