Hello all, Pls I need your advice. I recently was refused a settlement visa on the basis of financial requirement. Since my wife was studying at the moment I submitted evidence of my savings in Nigeria which was not enough. I appealed the decision which was eventually dismissed. I produced a new statement on the day of the hearing to prove that I now meet the financial requirement but that didn't help as the judge said the home office decision was right as I did not meet the requirement at the time of application. I am planning to go back to Nigeria in 2weeks time to apply from there. My questions are 1. Since i have been with my wife all this time in the uk, would I still need to show evidences of communication e.g call logs, chat history etc. 2. Since we have been living together in thesame house, would she still need to provide evidence that the accommodation is suitable for the both of us? As I have bank statement and drivers licence with the said address on them. 3. Am I allowed to use the priority service as I was told I may not use it if I have ealier been refused a visa. |

Saratkum: Hello Jerry, Sorry about the previous sad news. I guess you weren't adequately informed prior to your initial application. In my own opinion I would advise you try as much as possible to eradicate the chances of another appeal. It's better to have too many documents than too little, provided you can defend them. From all indications there seems not to be evidence of you living together with your spouse and might be taken as 'just your word'. Communication history is important, as it is a RECORD. Having both you and spouse receive letters at same address does not suffice. If you have a landlord/lady, it pays to ask them to do you a letter and mention you and spouse as occupants living together and you two can continue to live together. What the Case Officer is looking for is for you to convince them you have intentions to continue living together with your spouse. So I'll answer YES to your Questions 1 & 2. As for Question 3, I am not aware of such restrictions. When you apply at TLS website, don't pay for priority service. Go to your appointment, and while outside the facility ask them if you could do priority since you had been previously denied; you could still pay for it at the TLS PROVIDED IT IS BEFORE YOU DO BIOMETRICS. Selah! |

Thanks @ Brightingsus @ justwise she isn't at the moment that's why i said ealier that I relied only on my savings. |
Re: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by justwise(m): 10:07pm On Mar 02, 2016 |
Jerry55: Your sayings will not be considered. She is your sponsor so needs to meet the financial requirement and not you |
Re: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Jerry55: 10:13pm On Mar 02, 2016 |
@ justwise it doesn't matter who has the savings provided you have access to the funds to sustain you both. Even when I went for my appeal the home office rep said that since I now meet the requirements i can go back home and apply. Why I was rejected initially was because the funds in the savings wasn't enough. If ur sponsor doesn't earn the required 18600, you need to have a savings of 62,500 pounds. |
Re: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by justwise(m): 10:30pm On Mar 02, 2016 |
Jerry55: Was the money earned in the UK? |
Re: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Jerry55: 10:36pm On Mar 02, 2016 |
No it wasn't . |
Re: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by justwise(m): 11:21pm On Mar 02, 2016 |
Jerry55: I wouldn't discourage you from applying again but you really need to read about financial requirement and what is acceptable. |

Re: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by justwise(m): 9:42am On Mar 03, 2016 |
Jerry55: I have seen that guideline before hence the reason why I asked if the money was earned in the UK as the guideline keep making reference to that. I have never read or come across a case where an applicant who is not a UK permanent resident/citizen and not the main sponsor acts as a sponsor. |
