So.... today there was a very bad day for me and my fiance...

Finally, I received an email from Sheffield with the refusal attached (for fiance visa). The grounds are absolutely unreasonable, and I don't know what really to do now...

So in total 43 business days...

So sorry to hear that :(.

If you start a new topic and post the exact refusal wording (both from the email and from the refusal letter when you get it), then we can help figure out what happened and how to sort it out.

Thanks ksand 24...

I have posted a new topic...

Maybe for other priority applicants, seems that this "escalation" worked out... not sure that it worked out in a good way...

Just read your case on the other thread. What a farce. I'd be fuming, but of course that only lasts so long and then you're once again faced with the impossibility of living a part. I feel for you tremendously and I hope you're one, able to see this thing to a successful conclusion and two, able to cope.

Thanks for your comment. The problem is that I don't know, what is the successful conclusion. Unfortunately, even if we appeal, we will be punished again - with the timeframes to review our application... Who will be responsible for all that....? Absolute lack of responsibility from the government... Will they reimburse us our fees, in case we win? No... never

I wonder also, whether they are going to hand me anything on paper through TLS Contact, or an email is all that I can get after paying all these money for the mistake and unprofessionalism of ECO

@Katie_France I'm so sorry to hear this has happened. You've been waiting such a long time and it's entirely unfair. I hope you're able to figure out your next steps and get the ball rolling again quickly. Big hugs  :(
