Hi Terpe
I submitted what I consider a good supporting letter. I took 2 days writing it because I had learnt from this forum that it was quite important. I detailed everything about our relationship from the names of the friends who introduced us right up to our marriage and really opened my heart in the letter. I highlighted various documents that was included with the application. There was also a letter from my mother included which aswell as saying we were going to live with her also showed her support for the relationship and how she and the rest of my family were so looking forward to my wife coming.
I do find the refusal strange on the basis of the evidence we submitted and must say that I also find it offensive as he appears to have come to some strange conclusions. I would actually like to ask him what he thinks the problem is between date of divorce and date of marriage. I also think that stating my wife will be deserting her son is very nasty and she is very upset about this.
I propose to spend my weekend constructing the letter for reconsideration for the ECM and in the meantime the appeal will go ahead.
My understanding is that the appeal will be held in the UK and it will be my intention to attend if allowed.
Finally all original documents were returned with the refusal and all the documents that I have referred to in this thread were in the package.
Sadly I feel all the evidence was there but he just chose not to read it.
