How to come to the United Kingdom on a UK Visitor Visa

[joebloggs]

Hi
My wife who who I married in the UK in 2011 is in the phillipines. She just had her visit visa refused. She said there was something wrong with my letter I"m not sure whether I"ll ever see my wife again.
We didn"t apply for the settelment visa because that nasty UKBA changed changed the rules last July. Now I understand that because I"m disabled I am exempt from the new income requirment but not sure. She had to go back to ph over a year ago so haven"t seen her since. This gov has no right to stop a man & wife from seeing each other

yes there is a good chance your wife would be refused a visit visa, because the embassy would probably say they don't believe your wife will return to the Phils before her visa expires.

also she has applied for the wrong visa, it should be a settlement visa, if your married, why is she only intending to visit you ?

if your receiving disability benefit you could be excluded from the financial requirement but you still need to have funds to support your wife, so she wouldn't not need recourse to public funds.

We don"t have the money for the spouse visa atm. & UKBA said in the refusal letter that we may not have met the financial req for settlement.
They also knew that I send money to my wife in ph (she showed them the money transfer receipts) which I wouldn"t have to do if she was here. Now I found out that It would take months for an appeal. Maybe because she"s poor. UKBA love you if your rich but if your poor? God help us.
