hi all,

i am just looking for some opinions ?

as you may recall my wifes settlement visa was refused recently on the grounds as they stated there was no corrobutive evidence that i was earning £32,000 per year as stated and believe we will need recourse to public funds.

now as earlier stated there was 46 weeks of origional wage slips all showing gross to date the last that was available to the embassy showing gross to date of £29,600 .

now i have appealed and have had a letter back saying that the embassy has until 3rd sept 07 to submit papers required for the hearing ?

so here goes should i keep badgering the embassy stating there mistake of over looking these papers which were clearly indexed in the package for the application asking to overturn the decision or return the papers asap so as i can have a resolve to this situation sooner rather than later or is it best to wait and not badger them ??

Nick,

On the basis that the visa officer has until 3 September to submit his papers, it is unlikely that the appeal will be heard before the beginning of October.

I would continue to make representations to U.K. Visas complaints section, pointing out that the visa was refused for lack of funds, but the ECO appears to have failed to consider the evidence of these which was submitted with your wife's application. As a consequence, the decision is flawed, you maintain that your wife's appeal will be allowed, and you shouldn't have to wait a further six months for redress.

Scouse.
