Hi I was hoping for some advise on refusal of visit visa for my mother, who is retired at the moment. She lives with my father (still alive of course). However she was only planning to travel with my sister, my niece and brother-in-law. However all their visas were rejected.
This post is mostly about my mother.
In the letter, it states that she claimed to have is in receipt of pensions, however, she did not include all her bank statements, so they could not varify it. This I understand as a valid grounds for rejection. however it is the following paragraph that has me confused.
We mentioned that she lives with her husband, in a property owned by him. gave some utility bill and the property deed on his name. we stated, that he would not be coming on this trip. additionally, my sister and brother-in-law were all based in the same country. so they are valid ties for her to go back. it makes no sense that the letter claimed that the reviewer is not satisfied with there are enough ties to the home country. this makes little sense. She is planning to reapply, but how do we show that my father's whereabouts -- maybe adding his employment contract and bank statement to show salaries coming in. also maybe add his passport to show that it is expired, so he cannot leave the country. finally, maybe a letter from him stating such. is there any other things i should be doing to satisfy their requirements. she also has siblings living in the same country as her.
as I understand from reading the letter, my sister and her family is traveling with her so it seems they can't be used as a family tie? that seems a bit unreasonable.
I was planning to add this statement to the cover lever:
"This is indeed my second application for visit visa; the first one was rejected as I did not provide the right bank statements, nor did I explain the major transactions that were made in the statement I did submit. I have rectified this by providing all relevant bank statements. The rejection letter states that I do not have strong financial ties in Bangladesh, however, the funds i receive is sufficient for the expenses in line with my lifestyle given that I do not have to pay rent or utilities. Additionally, it has been raised in the refusal letter of the last application that a mere utility bill do not say the whereabouts of my husband, and as such, I am attaching a copy of his bank statements, showing salaries being deposited under the description “” in his account as well as regular transactions showing that he is accessing the account from Bangladesh. Further to this, I am also including a signed letter from him confirming these details as well as his latest, but expired passport confirming he cannot leave the country. Addition to that, I have also including a letter from my sister, confirming that i have XX siblings currently residing in the country."
