And Oh the ‘expert’ from that agency told me that if I will indicate that I was married, the UKVI would require a letter from my husband allowing me to travel( don’t know if this is true) I haven’t been intouched with him for 5 years now so I listened to their advise to put Single in my application. I really didn’t have that much idea about the visa application so what I did was just to listen to them, they even advised me to apply for a loan to support my travel as I have told them that I don’t have enough funds at the moment, they said that it is a liability. I listened as they claim as experts!
I don’t condone what they have done but looking from their perspective they actually got a positive result for the application for which they were paid. They focused on the application at hand with little regard for any future potential applications that may have been made. As I say, I do not condone their technique which was unprofessional. I wonder if there is an equivalent OISC register in some of these countries?
Just wanted to know now if there are ways to correct the errors made before... So whatever would that be, we can prepare, we'll know if we're capable or not especially in financial aspect...
do your children live with you ? do you have sole responsibility for them ? what are their ages ? do you have a job ? does your husband see the children ?
what i meant was.. if the mother applies at the same time as the children---and if the kids get approved--and the mother is refused--then the childrens application fees were all for nothing. so--if mother applies first---and then gets approved--then she has to defer her 30 day travel vingnette and apply for the kids...which could go either way.
They live with my brother and sister in an apartment that I have rented for them, their father just visits them occasionally because he lives with his girlfriend and sends them 2,000 pesos monthly if he wants to. They are 8 and 6 years old. I have a job, I'm sending them 21,000 to 24,000 monthly, they are solely my responsibility, the father does not care that much and not even speaking to me.
I'm not convinced they would check back on a refused visitor visa, as such things are quite common anyway. You have to state any previous refused visas, but you don't give reasons for their refusal. All you can do is carry on as normal and hope for the best. My guess- but it's only a guess - is that things will be fine.
I'm just scared if we would take chances... I can be banned for 10 years I think if they'll check (if ever) the tourist visa application and learn that the details are different, I don't really know... It's really mind draining
the onus is on you to prove you have full responsibility for the children. heres a link to a gov. publication for case workers. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/children-set07/children-set07 i strongly suggest you study it. my wifes sons application was refused a month back--mainly because of lack of proof of sole responsibility. it is by no means straightforward
Thank you for the link! I'm hoping that we can sort this out. Is it possible to reapply or appeal after a refusal?
A friend told me that we should hire a solicitor/lawyer but we have to be very careful in choosing one, I am also not sure if this is true...
my wifes sons refusal has a right to appeal. but in our case its cheaper and quicker just to make a new application. we took legal advice.
It's so hard to enter the UK. If not only for my love for him, I won't go there. Every move, you need to spend a lot of money. I hope your wife's son's visa will be approved.
