Yes I want to send off the appeal by this week. If I wait for Naric and Hubby's University I believe the 28 days would have lapsed, so I am intending to submit the degree cert and letter again and will mention that I am waiting for the NARIC Letter/Certificate and once it becomes available I will forward it on.

Would you mind forwarding on your appeal statement please?

Nairaland troops are really out to assist you.......... I think you are now fully armed to take on the............

I will see if I still have a copy of my appeal. It wasn't actually technical at all, I didn't quote any cases. I just addressed the issues the ECO with supporting documents and added the ones I missed out earlier (letter from employer and extra payslips)

I just stated that I have more documents which I believe will address his concerns and said I believe some documents were mistakenly overlooked, that's all.

The good thing is that you just have to address ONLY the missing criteria, that's it, nothing extra. I got out a highlighter and marked every relevant thing on the documents, labelled everything clearly and sent it off. Once they reviewed it, they overturned the refusal without having to go further

Yes I intend to do same. However, how am I supposed to address the income part as I submitted all I possibly could (7 payslips, Letter from employer, P60 and bank statements with salary going in). I did get ANOTHER Letter and 3 new payslips (since last application) today from my employer that I want to submit with the appeal. Perhaps I highlight the gross salary showing on my payslips, because I did this on the bank statements I provided.

We have already wrapped your hubby in a sock. All we need do now, is throw him down the chimney(just ensure the fire is turned off).

Hey, just a query. Hubby cannot apply for a visiting visa whilst we apply for an appeal can he? So he can be here to witness the delivery? or that is not a good idea?

No.
I nominate justwise for bedside delivery duties....... ..

Foreveryours201:

No. Normal application

Benz101:
@justwise, the second option is not applicable to degrees taught in Nigeria as Nigeria is not recognized as an English speaking country under the UKBA.

I honestly don't think you read that part carefully.. probably you were in a hurry. Take your time and go through again.

Uchman365:


One other thing, put your name as his rep in the appeal and get him to email the tribunal giving you authority to receive all correspondence. If not, they send it through the Naija postal system, it took almost three months for my wife to get the first letter!

You mean in these sections? And it's OK for me to be both his rep and sponsor?

Lexusgs430:


No. Normal application

From April until now though? that's a bit long.

That's unfortunately the type of sword they are welding.....

No..The HO claim my husbands case was not straightforward. Then the lawyer provided an incorrect email and the mobile number for my hubby missing a digit. So we were not getting any correspondences.

Thanks to myself being proactive and not waiting on the lawyer who I paid in full upfront, I managed to update the contact details and pay the IHS charge that the lawyer said he had paid. Long story with back to back DRAMA! Just awaiting the decision now... So fingers crossed its good news...

Wow. Sounds like you have been through alot. Why did you hire a Lawyer if you don't mind me asking?

No I dont mind. My husband got the lawyer before he left in december last year. I told my hubby I could have done the application but he believes in lawyers to much. We paid £550 to the lawyer, total piss take! when I used to call him and say the application is taking longer than normal he said when a decision is made we would be contacted...

Good Morning guys,

Please a quick question: Who has travelled with Air Maroc before?, Can they be recommended?. They seem to be the most pocket friendly Airline to LHR. .... If they not good let me stick with Lufthansa ............Your urgent advice is needed so i can book flight today..... Thanks

Fly Ethiopian Air. Thank me later!

Foreveryours201:


Hi There,

Thanks.
1. The property is in my name and has been since 2007.
2. I am unsure why this was stated. I submitted 7 months payslips that was issued, signed and stamped by my employer. My employer also wrote a letter confirming my position, salary, length of service and even listed earnings for the 7 months reflecting the payslip. I also submitted my P60 (which also showed my salary. In addition i submitted my bank statement and highlighted my salary that is paid in.
3. I definitely submitted the bills, so I will go with the fact that they did not see them.
4. The tenancy manager has stated and I called him again today, that he cannot specify that my spouse can come and live with me, he can only state that I am the tenant, how long i have been the tenant and how many rooms there,which is reflected in a tenancy agreement of course.
5. Hubby submitted degree certificate with a letter from his University confirming his degree was taught and examined in English.

I know the appeal process is long. I am just unsure of the actual process. One cannot submit new information? Or I can if it it backs up previously submitted information with the application?

We had the same issue with council about the letter. They ended up giving us a letter containing what you stated above. We then quoted the section of the tenancy agreement that stated he could "take in a lodger" in our sponsorship letter. We got the visa

Hello Everyone,
This is my first time here. I need candid advice please. I am married and we started our relationship in 2014. We had our introduction last year in Nigeria before my husband travelled for his masters degree. That same last year, i moved to the US as a green card holder. Its been a year now and still settling into the system and we got married few months ago.
The issue is my husband has since changed his visa on completion of his master degree to work visa and is currently working. He wants to file a dependance visa for me but we dont know where to file from either from the US or NIgeria considering the rate of refusal.
What documents do we need , we have a marriage certificate, but i want to know the pitfalls to avoid.
