Sorry to hear that you were refused the visitor visa.
And one of the reasons I feel is the strangest. I fixed the financial part of it and have a letter from my employer stating that i can take a short leave and return but the last was that my fiance and my mom both wrote letter, on their own gmail accounts and the IO didn't believe that he was a naturalized UK citizen.
What's so strange about that? One of the requirements of the visa is that you show evidence of your UK sponsor's immigration status in the UK.
The other most important things to show are:
- your job in the US
- your home in the US
- your finances showing you can support yourself for the duration of the trip
- a letter from your sponsor inviting you to stay with them and offering to support you financially if necessary.
What supporting documents did you actually send if you didn't include these?
Also what was the exact wording on the reasons for refusal of the visa? If you can post it here, we can help to determine which are the most important to address (the main reasons for refusal) and which may have just been 'extras' to support the refusal decision but may not have directly caused the refusal.
If you are going to reapply, you'll want to make sure you address all the reasons for refusal exactly. Also, you can expect the application to probably take up to a couple of weeks longer to process next time because they have to look into the reasons for refusal of this visa.
Should I just get him to scan a copy of the biometrics page of his passport and email that to me?
Yes, although ideally you don't want to send something that has been scanned and emailed, as all the documents should be original. He should send the passport copy (plus maybe also his naturalisation certificate or birth certificate to show he naturalised?) and support letters, plus his bank statements and payslips (if you are including his financial details) to you by post.
