One reason given for the visa refusal was that family members live in the UK!
The visa application was for my stepdaughter to visit us for three weeks during her annual leave. She is working in Dubai and has a letter of permission from her employer to visit the UK during her leave. We also supplied a letter (with supporting evidence) saying that we would sponsor her visit to the UK.
I am sure all genuine applications that are refused can by frustrating. But it seems absurd to refuse a family visit visa on the grounds that the family members being visited are living in the UK.
Anyway we are intending to appeal and wonder if there is anyone who has gone through the appeal process has any advice.
