little miss c

Does anyone know of anybody being refused a visa for any reason other than medical probs or failing a police check?

I just wondered, while I am waiting for a decision from ASPC, and worrying about anything and everything!

Mad as cheese

Hi Little Miss, I can't answer your question other than to say if you meet the pass mark and all your details etc are true and complete subject to med and pc's there's no reason why you should fail.

I notice that you're in Flackwell, were my son goes to school.

Ahhhh reminds me of fond memories... my mates went to Carrington Must have one last trip over the heath before we migrate. I used to work in Unit 4, years ago... is it still there?

Ooops, sorry to hijack!! Just have lots of fond memories of the place.

In answer to your question, I don't know anyone who has been refused, but I know someone who does Another poster asked a similar question lately and the mod said that most of the unlikely candidates are non-starters, since they are weeded out by migration agents etc. at the beginning of the process.
If you've been asked for meds etc. its unlikely that something is wrong with your actual application, but something could still crop up.

I got refused in the early 90's - I was gutted. But these were the days when I didn't have internet access to do adequate research for my application.

10 years later and after doing plenty of research at my employers expense I got my PR

Did they see your Burberry hat and think you were dodgy?

renth

Mate, I WAS dodgy back then.

I'm clean cut and respectable these days though.

I didn't have enough experience to be considered "a professional in my field". The rejection letter was signed by a well known migration agent whose name crops up on this forum quite a lot. He was working at DIMA at the time.

I don't hold it against him of course, I was rejected fair and square.

We were the same Renth, we got the knock back 9 years ago due to Hubby not having enough experience in his field. This time I basically self taught myself all the screen printing jargon off the internet and wrote all the references ourselves (signed by employers of course).

hi,
just notised this thread,
We know some one.......... i did put a thead on here about it as was weird reason.
A bloke my hubby used to work with in the car trade (mechanic) has just been rejected last week, when we asked why he told every one that oz goverment are letting too many ppl in so that is why rejected......... dont think so !!!
We do know that he started his training alot later than school and 34, so might not have enough skills and also have had very bad depression in the past. Not sure if that would effect meds.
Feel really sorry for him as really nice guy.

Yes Unit 4 is still there, I have lived in Flackwell for 13 years, so didn't go to carrington, although I know a few people who did
