Possible Visa Problems

Visa problems are the most critical issues that you should be aware of as an immigrant. Suppose you are a British citizen or hold permanent residency (ILR) and want to bring your husband, wife, fiancée, partner (same-sex or unmarried), or family member to the United Kingdom on a UK settlement or family visitor visa. In that case, you should be aware of potential visa problems that may cause delays in the processing or lead to the refusal of your UK visa application.

Common Visa Application Challenges

  • It’s crucial to note that if the sponsor fails to meet the Home Office’s financial requirements or provide sufficient proficient financial supporting documentation, it could significantly impact the settlement visa application. This is particularly important in cases where a foreign national wishes to reside with their sponsor in the UK.
  • Understanding the scoring system is key. The Visa applicant must accumulate more points to qualify under the Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 5 visa categories. This knowledge is crucial for a successful visa application.If the sponsor does not have adequate accommodation, they can rectify this by demonstrating that their home would be safe for the applicant.
  • One way to do this is by providing an Immigration Property Inspection Report, which involves a professional inspection of the property to ensure it meets the necessary standards.The visa applicant does not need to meet the Home Office English language test rules, commonly known as the Secure English Language Test (SELT). This is applicable to applicants applying for settlement, student, and entrepreneur visas.
  • The sponsor has previously attempted to bring the foreign national to the UK on a visa for settlement or non-settlement purposes.
  • Previous and repeated attempts by the applicant to obtain a UK visa gain entry into the UK by providing forged documents or making false representations to the Visa Officer.
  • The applicant was previously in the UK and overstayed their visa. This is important for applicants applying for short-term visit visas.
  • The applicant was previously deported (removed) from the UK.
  • The applicant was previously refused entry into the UK at a port of entry.
  • Need for evidence of relationship (lack of supporting documentation).
  • The visa applicant has a criminal record.
