Out of interest here is the below statement from our Immigration Advisor on their headed paper. It was the start of the first page of our submission.
" Dear Sir / Madam,
I am a licensed Immigration Advisor acting on behalf of the above named individual ( Mrs Lastlid ). I am regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commisions (OISC) - Registration no xxxxxxx.
This application is for my client to be granted entry clearance as the spouse of a person currently present and settled in the Isle of Man. My client meets the relevant requirements as set out in paragraph 281 of the Isle of Man Immigration Rules in that she is married to a British citizen who is currently resident in the Isle of Man, the parties to the marriage have met and each etc etc etc
In support of the application the following documents are enclosed:
Etc etc etc "
Itemised list.
Signed and dated accordingly.
Evidently paragraph 281 corresponds to exactly the same paragraph in the UK equivalent on spouse visa applications.
The whole application was made in this sort of tone. And as such it was one that I felt had a bit of weight behind it. Obviously this Advisor's company was not afraid to make themselves known to the UKBA.
A sort of "we know the law, you know the law, this ones all above board so don't mess around and give us the visa" kind of approach.
