Bigmarco & Stuart. Don't know your details or if you're appealing but wish you & your partners the very best of luck...
Stuart you said you don't know what to do. Get a good lawyer if you can afford one. Don't know your location but PM me if you want the name of a Human Rights Barrister who also specialises in immigration law.
Notyou. Thanks for the advice but there's no way I'm doing this without our visa advisor AND an Immigration lawyer. As for do whatever they ask & take a breather, they're not asking us to do anything it's an outright refusal & there's no time for taking a breather. Appeals are time limited.
Terpe. Yes, hopefully the ECM will overturn the decision due to the ECO's numerous errors. That would be wonderful. If on the other hand the ECM agrees with ECO's "opinions" & "balance of probabilities" on third party support, which is rock solid, & marriage not being genuine, which it is, then I'm ensuring that we have every chance of succeeding at appeal.
Joebloggs...Problem is the ukba were thinking along the lines of new rules BEFORE the new rules applied. That & all the propoganda meted out between govt & media about immigration makes for suffering of genuine people. Same with tarring disabled people as "scroungers" has dramatically increased hate crime & verbal abuse towards disabled people.We have a fascist govt acting under the guise of democracy.
Thanks again everyone for the moral support & advice
