Visa appeal

[vbkelly]

My wife in Cebu has appealed against our visa application (October15). I was wondering if any of you out there have ever had to appeal and how long it took yourselves? Or if any of you are waiting and how long you have been waiting for?

what's the reason why they denied your visa?

what's the reason why they denied your visa?

FOUR REASONS.
1 She sent my email that i wrote to her. but not her e-mails that she sent to me.
2 I am divorced and live in the marital home. They wanted letter from ex wife stating that she had no objections to my wife and I living there.
3 I am still paying the mortage and the house is in both my mine and my ex names.The mortage is linked to my bank accounts. These accounts are still in mine and my ex names and can not be changed (my ex does not used or want to use these accounts).They wanted a letter from my ex stating that she does not use these accounts.
4 From my previous marriage I have two children. They wanted a letter from my ex stating that she is and does not intend on asking me to support her or my children. At present I do not and my ex does not want me to.

My ex willingly wrote a letter to cover all of these points. I also got the bank to write a letter also saying that this was the case with the mortage. My wife supplied her e-mails.I wrote a letter to explain everything also.My wife also wrote a letter to explain everything also.

So we are hoping now that there sould be no more problems..............But (yes there is always a but!)the letter my ex gave me was typed and singed at the bottom by her. Will they except this or will they want a written letter?

hi dave63,

is that not stated in your divorce settlement?

just asking because in my ex's divorce papers everything was clarified and was stated i.e. child's maintenance, marital house etc etc. if this has been stated on your divorce papers i am pretty sure they will consider that document as it is official and legal.

i hope you could challenge the decision whilst it is still at the embassy because you can never tell how long the process takes when it is already submitted to the tribunal. mine took a long time, it took 6 - 12 mos and you are not sure what will be the outcome.

let us know how you get on. good luck

oh i c, i think that's why the eco asked you these questions. you see eco look into these as these has a major effect with your financial situation.

what stage are you now? i mean with your appeal? is it still in the phils or in the uk already?

We appealed in manila.does it then go to uk? I thought it got sorted in Manila!

I think the British EMbassy or ECO will review your case after you sent your additional documents to them, if they still haven't changed their mind then your appeal will be sent to tribunal here in UK and their the one will decide for the result of your partner's application.

if the eco is satisfied with the documents you have presented then there is a big possibility that they will reconsider your wife's application, if not and they think that they can't overturn their decision this then go to the uk which could take month, months or a year (don't quote me on this timeframe i am just basing this on my experience). you see when i filed for an appeal, it took us months and in the end we decided to make a fresh application and you wouldn't believe that i got denied and appealed and decision was overturned and after several months tribunal sent me a letter stating that my first appeal is now being heard. it's a joke i said i am already in the uk.

i am sure you'll get there in the end.
