Thanks again guys, my mate is really grateful, re the agent, my friend hasn't an idea how to use the internet etc, as I was away working etc he was recommended this agent who turned out to be useless. He will re-apply himself directly but this time with more evidence!! When he recieved the application back tere was some documents etc that were kept my The Embassy, will thaey keep them and will he be able to refer to them in the next application?

Regarding myself and my Mrs' visa, you may remember my circumstances, we applied for a 'visit for marraige' visa, I have lived in LOS of 4 years and recently started working offshore in the US etc, anyway we applied Thursday morning and silly me for assuming the tracking service actually meant just that - it says the passport is now back with the VAC peeps, the Mrs called them to be told its ready for collection in a sealed bag etc - well we are currently in Koi Chang with friends and won't be able to get to the VAC place until Thursday - my swede is killing me - I think thats terrible, is that the same for all applications - refused or denied - AAARRRHHH??

Thanks

Jimmy

Thanks for that folks, I think that my friend will just re-apply - BUT can you please let me know, if he were to re-apply with new evidence etc can they still refuse the visa for a different reason, i.e if he can prove the genuineness of the relationship but then they query something else??

Thanks

Hello, this is behalf of a friend, his Mrs was turned down for a settlement visa for 2 years, no interview, no questions, straight refusal, I have the letter here and it mentions about appealing the decision?

This is what it says:

You have applied for entry clearance to the UK. However I am not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities that your application meets the requirements of paragraph 281, of HC395, and in particular:

That each of the parties intends to live permanently with each other as husband and wife.

They have been married for 2 years but he only made it official in November, so they don't believe they have been together all that time and what makes it worse is that he went through some agent who handled it all for him, can he appeal this decision and hand it more evidence AND if he were to wait 3 months and apply again - can they change the goalposts and raise another objection other then this one??

Hope that makes sense, hes an older fella with no computer know-how so im asking on his behalf.

Myself and the Mrs handed in our 'visit for marraige' visa application Thursday morning and are just waiting - fingers crossed of course.

Any help with my friends problem will be great.

Ta folks.

Jimmy
