@justwise i have reposted just hope to hear from u all soon. thanks

hi justwise and everyone in the house...i need urgent advise and opinion on this issus....note im a ghanaian
i invited my hushand to vist me in the uk, and he was refused....the decision states:

the decision:
you state that you will finance your intended travel to the uk and have submitted 2 bankstatements in support of this. i note that the barclays bank statement you have submitted is in your company name, and has a closing balance of ghs2771.70 (£923.90 based on £1= ghs3.00). you have also submitted a personal zenith bank statement that shows a closing balance as on 23-7-2012 of ghs999.61 (£333.17).you business account shows a closing balance as on 27-04-12, as this was over 2months prior to your application, i cannot be satisfied that it shows the most recent state of your business finances. i'm therefore unable to be satisfied that there are sufficient funds in this account to cover your flight. regarding your personal account, with a return ticket to the uk csting on average £800.00 (ghs 2400.00) there are insufficient funds to cover the cost of the flight. therefore i am not satisfied that you can support and accomodate yourself and also meet the cost of onward travel from the uk
given the above, i am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry to the uk as a visitor for lesss than 6monts who intened to leave the uk ot that can suppot and accomodate yourself and meet the cost of onward travel from the uk as required by paragraph 41(i) (ii) (vi) and (vii) of hc395.
i have therefore refused your appliation because iam not satisfied on the balance of probabilities, that you meet ll of the requirements of the relelvant paragraph of the unitedkingdom immigration rules.

please justwise and all points to note:

he has been given a right to appeal against this deision under section 82(1) of nationality, immigraion and asylum act 2002.

he submitted a 3months bank statement of his barclay bank account which is his business account starting from 1st april 2012 and ends in june 29 2012 with closing balance of over £3600... this was just weeks prior to application and officer claims he only saw statement of 2months prior to aplication....application was 27th of july 2012.

from what the visa officer has written he claims he only saw an april statement that shows a closing balance on 27-04-2012 meaning he failed to go through my husbands company bank statement carefully and he claims the company bank statement my husband sumitted was over 2months prior to my his visa application so he is not satisfied it shows my husbands most recent state of business finance and he is not satified there are sufficient funds in the business account to cover cost of his flight ( note 3months statement was submitted ending june 2012).

also note my husbands business account runs and operates very well because money goes in and out as he runs his business. i don't know how the officer was blind to see is statement for may and june and he claims he can see just april closing balance which as at end of april had just £923 as clsoing balance... well we still have the bank statement my husband applied with cos the same officer return them.

officer saw his personal bank statement which closing balance as on 23-07-12 was just £333.17. he based his decision on this as he didnt see the other bank statement. i dont know why the officer didnt check carefully before making his decision.

please also note i had boldly indicated in my invitation letter that i was going to be able to accomdate him throughout the duraton of his stay and i even attached my rent agreement. so i dont know why visa officer claims he can't accomodate himself. he seem to ignore documents and didnt go trhough them at all.

my questions:
what do we do next because this decision was made on the 31st of august 2012 and we have got just 28days to send in the appeal.

we want to do the written appeal but i don't know how to go about it. im in uk and he is in ghana.

i know we can either send it in to the tribunal in uk or to the embassy in ghana, but which is the quickest and do we need to get a lawyer in ghana or in the uk. im so confused right now and i need people who know to please advise us on the process to go about it.

HI JUSTWISE AND EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE...I NEED URGENT ADVISE AND OPINION ON THIS ISSUS....NOTE IM A GHANAIAN

YOU HAVE ALSO SUBMITTED A PERSONAL ZENITH BANK STATEMENT THAT SHOWS A CLOSING BALANCE AS ON 23-7-2012 OF GHS999.61 (£333.17).[b]YOU BUSINESS ACCOUNT SHOWS A CLOSING BALANCE AS ON 27-04-12, AS THIS WAS OVER 2MONTHS PRIOR TO YOUR APPLICATION, I CANNOT BE SATISFIED THAT IT SHOWS THE MOST RECENT STATE OF YOUR BUSINESS FINANCES. I'M THEREFORE UNABLE TO BE SATISFIED THAT THERE ARE SUFFICIENT FUNDS IN THIS ACCOUNT TO COVER YOUR FLIGHT. [/b]REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT, WITH A RETURN TICKET TO THE UK CSTING ON AVERAGE £800.00 (GHS 2400.00) THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT FUNDS TO COVER THE COST OF THE FLIGHT.

PLEASE JUSTWISE AND ALL POINTS TO NOTE:

HE HAS BEEN GIVEN A RIGHT TO APPEAL AGAINST THIS DEISION UNDER [b]SECTION 82(1) OF NATIONALITY, IMMIGRAION AND ASYLUM ACT 2002.

HE SUBMITTED A 3MONTHS BANK STATEMENT OF HIS BARCLAY BANK ACCOUNT WHICH IS HIS BUSINESS ACCOUNT STARTING FROM 1ST APRIL 2012 AND ENDS IN JUNE 29 2012 WITH CLOSING BALANCE OF OVER £3600... THIS WAS JUST WEEKS PRIOR TO APPLICATION AND OFFICER CLAIMS HE ONLY SAW STATEMENT OF 2MONTHS PRIOR TO APLICATION....APPLICATION WAS 27TH OF JULY 2012.

FROM WHAT THE VISA OFFICER HAS WRITTEN HE CLAIMS HE ONLY SAW AN APRIL STATEMENT THAT SHOWS A CLOSING BALANCE ON 27-04-2012 MEANING HE FAILED TO GO THROUGH MY HUSBANDS COMPANY BANK STATEMENT CAREFULLY AND HE CLAIMS THE COMPANY BANK STATEMENT MY HUSBAND SUMITTED WAS OVER 2MONTHS PRIOR TO MY HIS VISA APPLICATION SO HE IS NOT SATISFIED IT SHOWS MY HUSBANDS MOST RECENT STATE OF BUSINESS FINANCE AND HE IS NOT SATIFIED THERE ARE SUFFICIENT FUNDS IN THE BUSINESS ACCOUNT TO COVER COST OF HIS FLIGHT ( NOTE 3MONTHS STATEMENT WAS SUBMITTED ENDING JUNE 2012).

ALSO NOTE MY HUSBANDS BUSINESS ACCOUNT RUNS AND OPERATES VERY WELL BECAUSE MONEY GOES IN AND OUT AS HE RUNS HIS BUSINESS. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE OFFICER WAS BLIND TO SEE IS STATEMENT FOR MAY AND JUNE AND HE CLAIMS HE CAN SEE JUST APRIL CLOSING BALANCE WHICH AS AT END OF APRIL HAD JUST £923 AS CLSOING BALANCE... WELL WE STILL HAVE THE BANK STATEMENT MY HUSBAND APPLIED WITH COS THE SAME OFFICER RETURN THEM.

OFFICER SAW HIS PERSONAL BANK STATEMENT WHICH CLOSING BALANCE AS ON 23-07-12 WAS JUST £333.17. HE BASED HIS DECISION ON THIS AS HE DIDNT SEE THE OTHER BANK STATEMENT. I DONT KNOW WHY THE OFFICER DIDNT CHECK CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING HIS DECISION.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE I HAD BOLDLY INDICATED IN MY INVITATION LETTER THAT I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMDATE HIM THROUGHOUT THE DURATON OF HIS STAY AND I EVEN ATTACHED MY RENT AGREEMENT. SO I DONT KNOW WHY VISA OFFICER CLAIMS HE CAN'T ACCOMODATE HIMSELF. HE SEEM TO IGNORE DOCUMENTS AND DIDNT GO TRHOUGH THEM AT ALL.

MY QUESTIONS:
WHAT DO WE DO NEXT BECAUSE THIS DECISION WAS MADE ON THE 31ST OF AUGUST 2012 AND WE HAVE GOT JUST 28DAYS TO SEND IN THE APPEAL.

WE WANT TO DO THE WRITTEN APPEAL BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT IT. IM IN UK AND HE IS IN GHANA.

I KNOW WE CAN EITHER SEND IT IN TO THE TRIBUNAL IN UK OR TO THE EMBASSY IN GHANA, BUT WHICH IS THE QUICKEST AND DO WE NEED TO GET A LAWYER IN GHANA OR IN THE UK. IM SO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW AND I NEED PEOPLE WHO KNOW TO PLEASE ADVISE US ON THE PROCESS TO GO ABOUT IT.
