Me and my wife applied for a spouse visa on 29th February and biometrics were done on 4th February. We still have not received a decision. (85th working day)
We relied on savings which were more than £62,500. The cash is held in a current account and a savings account in my name only. We provided 6 months statements for the current account from 1st August till 31st January. The current account is also where my salary deposited. This is all fine.
However, i have just realised that there may be a problem with the savings account statement provided. The statement is dated from 1st August till 17th January. This is two weeks short of end of the month. Will this be a issue? If anyone can help, it would me most grateful.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Sorry i was mean’t to type 29th January. That was the online application date and biometrics on 4th February.

Hi,
My wife's spouse visa was refused as i did not provide documents under paragraph 9b. My parents are directors of a Ltd company i work for. Also the ECO said my employment was not genuine as there was differences in the answers regarding my employment, in the interview. I believe this was not the case and i can provide them the documents they ask for.

Can i submit new documents as part of my appeal? I had these documents on the date of application.

Also, do the home office review the application before going to court? If so, how long does it take and will they notify me of the review decision?
Hope someone can help. Thanks.

The documents under paragraph 9b were in possession of my employer at the time of applying. They were not created after. I did not know that they were part of the requirements. Is this ok?
Also to prove my employment is genuine, i will wrote a detailed explantation of my job role. The difference in the interview answers regarding my job role made them think my job is non-genuine.

They claim my employment is non genuine so how can i reapply.
I also have savings of above £62,500 for at least six months. My salary is paid into the account which i’ll show. If i just apply through savings will the ECO loom at my previous application and bring my employment back on question?
I showed these savings in this application as well which was refused.

Refusal letter. It says they cannot be satisfied by savings. Will they look at employment from this application?

The solicitor who applied for us did not advise us properly. We applied under Cat A and D. After the refusal i have realised that savings and income cannot be combined if im working for a specified limited company. Also i should have applied under Cat F and G.
I should have just applied under Cat D.

Ive spoken to a reputable solicitor who has advised me to appeal the allegation that my employment is not genuine. She has said applying again on savings will result in a refusal due to the employment not being genuine. She said the judge knows the law and i have not done anything wrong. This will result in the judge granting my wife her visa. She also added my wife will be granted her visa under the 10 year route.

I understand what you are saying but my employment has been claimed to be non-genuine. So i think i’ll need to prove its genuine even though i’ll be applying on savings.

The solicitor said that when successful, the judge only grants visa under the 10 year route.

My salary is paid into one of the accounts which i’ll be showing as savings. This is why im thinking to prove that my employment is genuine.

What makes you say this? When an appeal is successful is the visa given under the 5 or 10 year route?

Thats what I originally thought.

If you look at the refusal letter it says “As I am satisfied this employment is non-genuine(see above), I cannot be satisfied by the source of your sponsor cash saving funds”.

This is why im thinking to prove my employment is genuine and the salary which makes up half of my savings is from a genuine source.

I’ll provide P60 and HMRC records since 2012 to show i’ve been earning since then and all my savings has been declared. My employment began in 2012. I’ll also give documents for the shares which were withdrawn last year.
