Uk visitor visa

[Nasre]

Hello,

My Thai husband has previously visited the uk twice on 6 month visit family visas. He has recently applied for the general tourist visa as this has replace the visit family one however he has just received his passport back with no visa and no letter explaining why.

The first time we applied he was refused a visa but we had a letter of explanation and the right to appeal (I believe this right has been taken away now). We then appealed and he got a visa..

My question is are we waiting for a letter of explanation to arrive separately or if your application is refused do you just now receive the passport back with nothing else?

Many thanks.

There is normally a letter explaining why the visa was refused.

Not 'normally' rasg. If refused the ECO must give the applicant a formal notice of refusal giving the reasons for the refusal, which is included in the same package as the returned passport.

Alternatively, it may be that he wasn't refused, but they didn't stick the visa vignette in his passport!

Nasre, you should contact UKVI immediately to find out what has happened.

I'd also make an official complaint as well.

Thank you for the reply, I have sent an email to them and will call if I don't get a response!

Many thanks again
