Fiancé Visa Refusal advice

Yep it was, and while it was our mistake not to include more a the time main problem is financials.

They want to see things like incomings, outgoings, bank statements and that's all they know. But they don't seem capable of utilising common sense sometimes that if sufficient income is available in other ways then that is enough to ensure somebody will not use state handouts.

Truth is as well, but just my opinion lol but I found out after that it was just our luck that the ECO who reviewed the application is actually a head entry clearance officer for the region of Fiji and Papua new gineau. So probably being in that position he is more likely to be awkward and deliberately follow the regulations to the letter.

I found that info out because I read an online article that said he travelled to Fiji and Papua new gineau with mobile biometric equipment to process the visa applications for the Olympic teams there.

So he is a person of authority.

I do vaguely remember something about only turning it down on these grounds if there was a concern that there was likely to be overcrowding. So it looks like it can largely come down to discretion. That was the old rules anyway but then you applied under those?

This would back up the theory about more people in the property being a concern for this ECO. But again, I remember something about requesting more evidence if their was any concerns on this front? Although I suppose there is probably no need to do that if they're also turning it down on other grounds as well? I suspect if this was the only issue, the visa would have been granted.

Hi, yep it was under the old rules, maybe... The other 2 reasons was he wasn't convinced a marriage would take place and concerns over finances.. I dunno what happened to my finances reply lol the 3rd reason I posted it and it said something about needing moderator approval first.
