If the British embassy are denying him a visa it would appear as if they dont recognise the marriage, sounds awkward, maybe they should try to get a face to face interview as a couple.They could try and visit a few other countries nearer to the P.I. to show consistency.
We're planning to club together to get them to HK for a short trip. Like you said hopefully this will help build up some trust.
Any idea how they can get an interview as a couple?
My sister & BIL know a number of other missionaries who have managed to get tourist visas with alot less information than they have given the embassy. Speaking to them last night, i think we've decided to go to appeal with a large wave of additional letter to show how mich support they have, plus one from our local MP who has pledged his support. The charity are sending a letter to explain that the flight to UK is part of thier contract. Hopefully the fact that they can give so much additional info will count for something. Plus a letter from Phil. immigration showing my sis is applying for permenent residency.
We are very commited to making this happen, however long it takes!
