the problem with the housing, i would have thought can be easily over come, with a letter from his landlord stating his tenancy agreement is valid and also they do not object to you living there, and bankstatements showing his rent is being paid, and include photos of the house and inside showing the size of the rooms and also a report from his council stating it will not be overcrowded with you living there.
the money side is a problem no job and little savings, but if he can do a budget showing his incomings and out goings, and as long as his has about £100a week left after paying rent and coummunity charge for you both to live off, you would have a better chance.
thou you both need to realise, once you move and live with him it could effect some of his benefits he gets. so another reason why savings would have been really helpful.
if he can get this evidence togther quickly, then i would probably appeal to the british embassy in manila, thou it all depends if the new evidence will be allowed to be submitted.
nothing stopping you applying for a new spouse or fiancee visa, but you would have to overcome the reasons for refusal, or you risk being refused again..appealing thou , you could b e waiting 6 months or more.
with time and planning you both could have probably avoided the refusal.
notes on Overcrowding, The test for determining whether or not an accommodation is overcrowded is given in the IDI's (Chapter 8, S1 annex F, paragragh 6.3). It takes the form of a table which is reproduced below. To use the table, add up the number of occupants according to the following scheme: occupants under the age of one count as zero; occupants between one and ten years of age count as one-half; and occupants over the age of 10 count as a whole person.
Number of rooms ---- Permitted number of persons
1 --------------------------------- 2
2 --------------------------------- 3
3 --------------------------------- 5
4 --------------------------------- 7.5
5 --------------------------------- 10
For example, a family consisting of two adults, a child aged 7, a child aged 5, and a child aged 6 months would tally as 3 persons, and would therefore require 2 bedrooms.
we know what we will do now.
we will try to get advices on the local law entre and might not enough on us to appeal. so we will just apply another visa but we will make sure that this time we are both pepared and have valid evidence to proof that my fiance can support me without helping to public funds and we will follow what you advice on us joebloogs
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
