Spousal Visa refused

[lastlid]

Hi Mate
I am sorry to hear this - shocking is an understatement.

As you used some legal representation, can I ask - did you tick the box that asks about using an agency or solicitor to prepare your case work?

We used a Visa company for my Wife's applicaton, and they advised us not to tick this box - the exact reason I cannot remember but it had a negative impact on previous applications so they always advised not to tick that particular box.

Other than that as suggested it shouldnt hurt to explain the facts surrounding your divorce and subsequent marriage, sounds like they have thrown a number of spurious issues to pad out the refusal, which reading your posts sounds like a joke.

Good luck with the appeal and hope the guys here can guide you through the intracate elements!

Interesting what you say Tone, as i used a UK government approved Immigration Advisor and they were the complete opposite. The top page submitted had the advisors name and company plastered all over it. She then quoted some sections / sub sections of immigration law. Then our docs followed. My wife submitted the docs in that order. When she had finished one was left with the opinion that the ECO would have to come up with a jolly good reason to refuse the application. We did tick that box.
