I applied for the FLR(M) for the extension of my spouse visa on 26 Aug 2016 and was refused due to not meeting the financial requirement on the same day. I applied on the basis of the Cash Savings to meet the financial requirement and have had adequate cash savings in my bank account in my own country for more than 6 months. But I was refused because My money has been held in a bank that is not regulated by the UK Boarder Agency.

I’ve just realised that only 2 banks are regulated in my own country and I didn’t know that. I applied for my first period of the spouse visa based on the cash savings which was held in the same bank and my spouse was in recipes of Disability Living Allowance at the time. When I was awarded the spouse visa (first period) in 2013, we were not told that they granted the visa based on my husband’s circumstances and we though that they accepted my cash savings. My application based on the human rights was also refused and I was told that I could go back to my own country and live with my British husband there!!!!!!
My husband is no longer receiving the DLA but he is receiving housing benefit and ESA. He is also under supervision of mental health and he needs me to help him here.

I have the right to appeal and I’ve decided to open an account in a regulated bank and transfer the money to that account and represent the documents on the hearing day.

I don’t know what else to do and what to write in my appeal form? Could someone please advise me on what to do? and how I can fill up the appeal form? what reasons and documents should I give them to make them convinced?!

If you appeal state on the appeal form what you have stated in your posting here.

However, if your savings are in some obscure bank overseas it sounds as though you have been rightly refused.

Scan in the reasons for refusal from the refusal letter. It will give us a better idea of the issues.
