My husband wants to speak to a professional about how is entry refusal to the UK last year could affect his visa.
I've tried telling him that it will be ok as long as we explain what happened in our respective letters and provide the documents from his entry refusal but he would still like to speak to someone.
Does anyone know who he can reach out to and what he should say when he makes contact?
I have suggested contacting the British/American embassy - not sure which one rather than an immigration lawyer because I don't think a lawyer would be very helpful and just want to charge us loads of money.
I can't really recommend contacting anyone, because there really isn't anyone he can talk to.
His refused entry WILL NOT affect his visa. It simply needs to be declared on his visa application and any paperwork included, to show he is being honest. If he was only visiting when he was refused, then that will have no bearing on a spousal visa application, because he is no longer trying to visit the UK so the reason for refusal will be irrelevant.
- The US Embassy cannot help because they only deal with US immigration.
- The UK Embassy also cannot help because they do not deal with visas.
- A lawyer will just try to charge a load of money to 'help' him and then will probably give bad advice.
