Hello-
I'm hoping that someone will be able to help us sort out our problem.
I am a UK Expat with a USC wife. We live in the USA (I have my green card and all that.)
Recently we applied for a UK Family Visitor Visa in anticipation of flying back to Scotland to visit my family (I have not seen them since I moved here in May of 2012.) However, the visa was refused.
In 2010, my wife was convicted in the USA of Driving After Revocation or Suspension, and was sentenced to 7 days in jail. The visa was refused because of this under paragraph 320 (2) (d) of the Immigration Rules. According to this rule, any other application may be refused on this basis for up to 5 years after the end of the sentence.
Is there any way to appeal this? Is there any way we can get her a family visitor visa before the 5 years is up in 2015? What are our options?
Any help or advise would be much appreciated!
