spouse given settlement visa but children denied help

[mmsjr6]

Can you tell us the reasons they gave for refusing to give visas to the children. I would imagine that it would be either to do with your income or your ablity to house them satisfactorily.

the eco,s decision

i have refused your visa application on this occassion through reference to the above paragraphs(s) of the immigration rules . this decision was made on the merits of the application.

the eco,s reasons and supporting evidence

i am not satisfied you meet the paragraph of the rules above

Because:

you propose to travel to the uk with your mother who has made an application for entry clearance as a spouse . whilst you have submitted an affidavit from your father you have submitted no evidence that your mother has legal custody of you . i addition you have provided no evidence of your fathers current whereabouts or that your mother has had sole responsibilty for your upbringing i am not therefore satisfied that you meet the requirments of paragraph 301(i)(b) of the immigration rules

i therefore refuse your application.

in reaching this decision to refuse your application i have given careful consideration to your qualified right to family and private life under article 8 of the european convention of human rights however i am satisfied that any perceived interference with your right to family life under article 8 is proportionate to the aim of maintaining an effective immigration control and does not therefore breach your convention rights. in addition , i am not satisfied that there are any insurmountable obstacles to your family member travelling to the philippines to enjoy family life with you in this country .


please can any one give any advice
